JIST NOW: Alaska Republican Senator @lisamurkowski sells out the people #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

mike johnson doesn't give a shit

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale .… He has also lost his appetite …. His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.” A 6-year-old with cancer is languishing in a U.S. detention camp. Who will answer for this cruelty?

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

From the Nazi propaganda film “The Eternal Jew”

Oh yes. She is so right. A splendid article. Thanks for posting.

This is a must-read!

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Tapper writes this without acknowledging that Milk himself served in the US Navy during the Korean War, or that Milk was assassinated while serving honorably in public office

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

it is no exaggeration at all to say that these are people who would rather destroy the state's flagship public university than education a diverse cross-section of the commonwealth's students

the way the beltway press covered glenn youngkin as if he was just a friendly dad running for head of the PTA and not a partisan republican ally of trump running to be governor will never not be infuriating to me

the only thing keeping Trump v US from topping the list of worst Supreme Court decisions imo is that it hasn’t (yet) led to the dissolution of the United States washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

#ProudBlue When it becomes acceptable & legally supported to "opt out" of a fact-based reality, all is lost.

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

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?

looking forward to some parents suing to demand segregated schools because integration violates their religious beliefs

the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

"the government had concluded that the use of race in admissions and other student benefits were 'widespread practices throughout every component and facet of the institution.'" 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

all of this is downstream of the president's (and stephen miller's) obvious racial animus toward haitians!

Just called Senator Gillibrand’s office to express how upset I was by her comments on the Brian Lehrer show the other day and got the impression from the tone of the person answering the phone that they’ve been getting a lot of calls like this

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

“I think we are churning behind closed doors to figure out which camp is going to win,” Sen. Elissa Slotkin said of the Democratic Party after Zohran Mamdani’s shock win in New York City’s mayoral primary this week.

Kenneth Chesebro, a lawyer who helped spearhead the legal effort to use phony slates of pro-Trump electors to overturn the 2020 presidential election, was disbarred in New York 👏👏👏

Ahh, I see the editorial board being censored into having the freedom to not endorse candidates only applied to Kamala Harris when the paper’s owner was desperate to curry favor with her opponent.

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

This is a really important story: on the danger of believing your own conspiracy theories. Iran did. Is the US next? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

RFK Jr. is threatening the routine childhood immunization schedule. This is bad. We all need to be paying attention. Get loud. Stay loud.

Some perspective on the great conservative freak-out about Mamdani in NYC: campaign-trails.ghost.io/the-not-so-g...

She parlayed endlessly whining about a fifth-place finish into an entire career as a Fox News pundit because white people pretending they're the Real Victims is basically the sum total of modern conservatism these days.

“HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the United States will no longer donate funds to Gavi, the global vaccine program that has saved millions of lives worldwide.”— @jeremyfaust.bsky.social “This is one of the deadliest decisions ever made by any American.”

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

If these “ACIP” members had really been vetted to mitigate their conflicts of interest, their biased statements would still be appalling. #ACIP

Win or lose, Cuomo's run is rough for all of us who think that sexual harassment should matter in elections. I hope that someday it does.

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Speaking of, a Mamdani advisor(he also worked on Ruben Gallego’s campaign) has a fantastic essay in the NYT today: “instead of writing off candidates who resonate with voters because we disagree on an issue or two, Democrats should be asking why voters were drawn to them in the first place.”
