He’s crazy. It’s really scary.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, America's poorest families lose about $1600 per year. The richest households gain about $12,000 per year. It's Reverse Robin Hood. (Via CBO)

This disastrous decision doesn’t just gut the federal court’s check on the executive branch, it effectively shrinks the Constitution, turning it into a privilege of the few, not a protection for all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

We're now in summer re-runs. Trump began his Presidency by targeting Canada with tariffs, settled the spat, and now he's recycling those threats. What hasn't changed is that he's really threatening to tax Americans (those who buy from Canada, aka Americans). www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

This outrageous Supreme Court decision is another reminder that the courts won’t save us. Today’s ruling from the MAGA SCOTUS is all the more reason why Democrats in Congress must fight like hell to block Trump’s policies from being enacted and gum up the works as much as possible.

Per SCOTUS Injunction & Birthright Citizenship Ruling, there are 22 states grandfathered to file against the Birthright citizenship EO. They are AZ CA CO CN DE HA IL ME MD MA MI MN NV NJ NM NY NC OR RI VT WA WI

Republicans. They need it to happen to them, before they get it.

🧵At 1am Thursday, while we were sleeping, the Ohio Republicans passed a truly disastrous budget bill. The bill is now on Gov DeWine’s desk. We need everyone to light up his phone lines urging him to veto the worst parts of the bill. Call script in thread ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/26/h...

Are we starting to see the first signs in official data of tariff-fueled inflation?

But the real atrocity is the tents on the quad

The California governor sued the network over host Jesse Watters’ claims that Newsom lied about his phone calls with President Donald Trump.

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

Pass it on…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

Senator Slotkin has announced her intended support for legislation that would CUT and FREEZE the wages of farm workers - one of the most underpaid professions in the US. This is just wrong! Call @slotkin.senate.gov TODAY! Urge her to withdraw her support. (202) 759 - 4087

"ICE officers aren’t anonymous commentators on a social network; they are representatives of the state, acting on its behalf and empowered to use force if necessary. As a federal agent, an ICE officer is a public servant..." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

Hours later and I’m still laughing at this… 🤣😜😂🤪

Estimated 50 million bucks is being spent on Dr. Evil's wedding. Meanwhile, his sweatshop workers have insane productivity metrics and sometimes die at work.

The blind zone on a Chevy Suburban is much, much bigger now than 20 years ago. The same is true for all 6 models that researchers recently examined. Bigger blind zones --> More pedestrian deaths (which have surged in the last 20 years) Research: saemobilus.sae.org/articles/lon...

What? Wasn’t Sen Ted Cruz born abroad too? Should we deport him? www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2...

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NEW: The Trump admin finalized an emergency regulation, which goes into effect tomorrow, authorizing DHS to impose civil monetary penalties for immigration law violations with far less due process. The rule could lead to DHS imposing exorbitant fines on millions of people — fines they can't afford.
