Our pressure is working. Stay strong — keep calling, texting, writing, and sharing. We MUST stop this bill, and we CAN.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Trump is closer to his goal of eliminating birthright citizenship. Those with migrant parents who vote Republican are voting for a party that wants to strip them of citizenship and deport them.

America fundamentally changed today. 6/27/25 is an infamous date in history. A week before the anniversary of our founding—the Founders weep.

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.

LICCARDO: Capital One contributed $1 million to Trump's inauguration. And what happened as a result to the CFPB case? HARPER: They got their case dismissed LICCARDO: We're watching the defunding of the financial police happening

Masked and unmarked ICE agents (real or fake) are causing fear and chaos in our communities. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from hiding their identities during public operations. Urge your local leaders to act. 👇

Republicans! Do you have any sense of decency left?

The "big, beautiful" bill is a direct threat to Arizona families. I’m running for Congress to bring real leadership, not the chaos Republicans have caused. Next year, we’ll take back Arizona's 1st and deliver the results Arizonans deserve.

MURRAY: Do you agree that this administration should follow court orders? BONDI: We will follow court orders. The problem arises in the district courts. All these district courts throughout the country are tying our hands. And here's how we will follow them -- when we get to SCOTUS, we're winning

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Yikes. Karoline Leavitt's statement basically completely confirms CNN's reporting. This is really bad for the White House and should be a major scandal. Trump lied. Again.

Great story here in @nature.com from @helenpearson.bsky.social on the state of health in the US and what happens when RFK's Make America Healthy Again rhetoric meets the evidence on what actually needs to change. Ft. this shocking graph on US health exceptionalism: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Meanwhile, on the Big Beautiful Bill, @ryanlcooper.com points out that the one big area where energy tax credits are actually expanded is in ethanol and biofuels, which is demonstrably worse for climate change and a horrible use of land: prospect.org/politics/202...

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

The Pentagon has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of a classified Defense Intelligence Agency report assessing that damage to Iranian nuclear facilities from US airstrikes didn’t significantly set back Tehran’s nuclear program. #NATOsummit #POLITICOnato

Israeli forces fire on people waiting for aid in Gaza, killing 25, witnesses and hospitals say

These are not GSA plates. These are not government employees.

This should not be happening anywhere, let alone in the U.S. This must stop.

"It’s notable that the Trump administration has not really even made an effort to organize a feasible lie. They have presented little evidence and have at times seemed to almost boast about the arbitrariness of their planning and decision-making." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Disconnected-from-reality prez promotes a reality show war. "[T]he president mostly decided to drop bombs because he saw Fox News coverage of the Israel attacks and thought it looked cool. So in a real sense, Trump went to war bc Murdoch persuaded him to drop some bombs." 🧾 bsky.app/profile/atru...

HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS. Senate Republicans and their big oil donors are trying to sneak language into the Big Beautiful Bill (for Billionaires) that would sell off millions of acres of public lands. Tell your senators to keep their hands off public lands!

So the new strategy is to not answer any of the questions AND continue to spread debunked conspiracy theories in front of Congress? This is the US ATTORNEY GENERAL, folks.

NEW: VoteVets Calls Out Trump and GOP After Iran Retaliates—Reckless Leadership Is Putting American Lives at Risk

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

Judge issues scathing ruling against Trump administration's prosecution of Abrego Garcia, saying that the evidence is suspect since it comes from cooperating witnesses seeking deferral of their own deportations in exchange for testimony. @alanfeuer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

Francisco Urizar, 64, was detained by ICE while on his work route delivering tortillas. His daughter Nancy is trying to find out what happened to him.

The amount of rationalizing you have to do to justify this to yourself, your family, your fellow citizens must be astounding. I have no sympathy for anyone involved in this. You moved past too many off-ramps for this kind of behavior.

Cato has always been pro-legal immigration. Their in-house expert is the only person I've ever seen arguing the BIden immigration policy was in fact a success, for streamlining and rationalizing the asylum application process. Here's their page on the topic: www.cato.org/immigration

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

In Public Notice today: “Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties.” This is very important Everyone should read this:

Many Americans are witnessing immigration arrests for the first time and reacting

Elon Musk strikes back.. he wants to "reeducate" Grok. Basically, his proposed changes is training of Grok to lie for him, making Musk an arbiter what’s true and not. This is open admission of a goal to create the ultimate propaganda machine. We asked Grok today about it...

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in

Pete Hegseth’s job was to prosecute domestic culture war, pushing to re-segregate and intellectually degrade the US military. He wasn’t supposed to have to manage the Defense Department during times of international crisis.

This whole "imbroglio" could be avoided if ICE agents were required to wear uniforms and identify themselves, a tradition in law enforcement for the past few centuries
