As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

I don’t mean to be an elitist but I think you should be more than 5 years out from your after-school gig “weed-whacking the weeds”—to be in charge of combating violent extremism for the United States of America. I swear, Elmo finds these people on 4chan.

European airlines are redirecting flights from American cities to destinations like Canada 🍁 🇨🇦 , Mexico, and Brazil as “more passengers [opt] for destinations that offer smoother entry, better seasonal deals, and fewer political complications”. ‼️

As far as I’m concerned, all are welcome. Welcome to the light, Joe Walsh. This is 🔥 @walshfreedom.bsky.social

Coming in like…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress. In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics. On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

😂

I might be enjoying this too much, LOL

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

TEXAS: Trump said ICE raided a “Tren De Aragua Gathering” — turns out it was a birthday party, with kids, and nobody had a criminal record. www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

POCAN: Just tell me coincidence or not. In Project 2025, abolishing the Dept of Education. You guys are doing. Is that a coincidence? VOUGHT: The president's agend-- POCAN: Ending DEI? VOUGHT: The president-- POCAN: Shifting FEMA costs to the states? Ending PBS and NPR? Banning trans people?

This resignation is a warning sign. Hands off Crater Lake. Hands off our national parks.

Ah, the golden age.

The Big Ugly Bill keeps getting uglier. The nonpartisan CBO now estimates that 16 MILLION people will lose their health care coverage.

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

On World Environment Day, let us reflect on being good stewards of our environment. Protecting nature means protecting our legacy — for our kids and theirs. Leave it better than you found it!

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Jasmine Crockett is running to be Ranking Member on Oversight — and ready for the fight. She’s sharp, qualified, and speaking directly to this moment. Watch her make the case — and check out her take on the seniority issue. It might surprise you. @repjasmine.bsky.social

Unlike Felon 47 who has weaponized the DOJ and uses Pam Bondi as his personal lawyer. 😡

My statement after voting in favor of the SUPPORT Act:

If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Rep. Crockett IS THAT GIRL!!! She speaks the truth with exacting precision *in laypersons terms*. If the @housedemocrats.bsky.social are smart, they will make @repjasmine.bsky.social the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. She is one of the most effective communicators we have!

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

Its crazy to me that there is more Biden news being covered rather than the occupant of the oval office who is suffering from cognitive decline. Well actually, is it cognitive decline? He's been dumb his whole life. Good morning y'all.

Perfect.

Medicaid gives people peace of mind about their health. When Brianna had complications while delivering her twins, Medicaid covered part of her bills. Medicaid saves lives. It's shameful that Republicans are trying to cut healthcare for families like Brianna's.

If @MarshaBlackburn is pushing a law to make it illegal to name ICE agents… doesn’t that mean it isn’t currently illegal? So what are she and @AndyOgles investigating Mayor O’Connell for exactly? 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Also: if ICE agents are this ashamed, maybe stop?) nypost.com/2025/06/04/u...

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.

The blatant graft and open corruption of this administration is beyond belief.

Donald Trump is fucking nuts. The son of a bitch isn’t trying to protect the United States; everything is to protect himself.

Yikes

In fairness to Marjorie Taylor Greene, maybe she *can’t* read. That tracks.

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

Trump signs travel ban targeting Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, & Yemen. Exempts all countries w/his properties No evidence of imminent threats from banned nations Every banned nation is Black/brown majority Most are Muslim majority

Challenge accepted

Children should not live in fear of their parents disappearing. Elders should not live in fear of going to the grocery store or their faith house. Standing with our immigrant neighbors always. www.wbur.org/news/2025/06...

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Good on her for holding him accountable.

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!
