Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

These people are just wrong about literally everything.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Your library friends are being asked why they must indoctrinate children with stories about a tiny percentage of the population. Your library friends keep reminding people that it's okay for other people to exist and live their own lives.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Tapping the sign

Private insurers and state officials are warning of higher premiums and chaos in the insurance markets if a last-minute change to the House GOP’s megabill survives in the Senate. www.politico.com/live-updates...

In the Big Shit Bill is this PDF that Illegally locks in a permanent removal of RIFed employees and a shit tone more. These fuckers

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

MURPHY: Did you worry about what your decision would do to these kids where you've ripped away their counselors & social workers literally in the middle of the program? McMAHON: I certainly worry about mental health MURPHY: It's a really cruel thing to do M: I can't evaluate every program

Flood the line.

Correct. Spending $45 million on a birthday party for the President, while the administration says we can’t afford Medicaid, shows just how bankrupt their priorities really are.

Friends, as much fun as it is to play "Goon, fiend, or wanker? with the Trump regime, the sad reality is that this regime is actively attacking the LGBTQ+ community. Please share this LGBTQ+ friendly one-pager of mental health resources widely #PrideMonth #MentalHealth #AltComms

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

Happy Pride! Every single person—regardless of who they are or who they love—deserves a life of dignity, safety, and full equality under the law. I helped introduce the Equality Act to enshrine this promise into law and will fight every day to make it a reality.

Get the sense that attack in Colorado was the work of a single individual and thus hard to prevent. But worth recalling how how many FBI have already been pulled off counterterrorism and other forms of crimes for immigrant round up duty.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

If this were true (it’s obviously not) it would imply zeroing out all non-military discretionary spending, cutting military spending, and collecting over $5000 in new taxes from every single person im America.

My thoughts are with our Jewish neighbors after another horrifying antisemitic attack, this time in Boulder. Hate has no place in our country.

A lot of these people are just not telling the truth

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈

The president of the United States is mentally compromised. He’s spreading the conspiracy that Biden was a clone.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Just finished my MLIS at Pratt (on May 20). I’m officially a librarian now (!). Didn’t expect the Open Newsroom I launched in 2019 would lead here: LIS theory, oral history, youth civic work, neighborhood bulletins—even some urban planning. Grateful for the ideas, approaches & people I met.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

“You know how important this has been to me.”

NEW—Rubio issues State Dept. cable instructing enhanced social media vetting for ALL people (students, faculty, etc) seeking travel visas to Harvard under guise of “antisemitism.” All social media profiles must be public, otherwise seen “as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.” Full cable:

Why are The Chrisley's on CBS News acting like they have been kidnapped? They were in prison because they committed crimes! WTF CBS!!! Preposterous!!!

Good morning — It has been 12 hours since investigators said this man was set up, and @MarshaBlackburn @KristiNoem @DHSgov all still have not deleted their tweets.
