Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day on Saturday in Los Angeles County, filling streets with tear gas and smoke. nyti.ms/4kUON0y

The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

ICE arrested a union SEIU president

Maddow: I think we both have the same instinct: quote the ruling, quote the deposition—show the document. The audience is smart and capable of taking in primary source material. We can give it to them straight and then talk about it from there—based on this kind of non-pasteurized document

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) isn’t just a measure of inflation, it directly impacts Social Security checks, mortgage, federal aid, business contracts, and worker pay. It’s foundational to understanding how the economy is working for everyday Americans. But now? It’s becoming far less accurate.

TACO VS MUSK? It’s a toss up bc they are both scumbags 🐔 🐀

They are going to throw millions of people off of health care just so that they can pass along a benefit to a small handful of very rich Americans. #TrumpsBillWillKill

Republicans convened in the middle of the night, under cover of darkness, to try to push their tax bill through. Even in the middle of the night, people gathered outside the Capitol to protest. WE'RE WATCHING YOU! #TrumpsBillWillKill

Virginia PLEASE get out and vote! There’s only a few days left! You must request your mail in ballot by 5:00pm tomorrow (Friday, June 6). Early voting goes through June 14, and Primary Election Day will be on June 17! #vote #virginia

wow -- even GOP Rep. Womack isn't happy that OMB DIrector Vought hasn't provided a budget proposal (note that Vought basically says he's too busy to do it)

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-...

COLLINS: The Boulder attack was part of the reason for Trump's travel ban MULLIN: I wouldn't say that COLLINS: *plays clip of Trump saying Boulder is a reason for it* MULLIN: He didn't specifically say Egypt

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

Chris Murphy on Trump's travel ban: The bill actually costs money for 40% of the public. You get poorer if you're in the bottom 40%. The richest families get a tax cut of $270k. Nobody wants that. It's super unpopular. So how do you get it done? You distract people by making them afraid

Goldman on Trump's travel plan: "It's pretty consistent with what his 'immigration policy' is, which is just essentially to keep anybody who's not white out of the country."

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

"It's coming back to life. We're going to make it." George Foote, lawyer for the U.S. Institute of Peace sounds a hopeful note as he describes how the group is putting the pieces back together after DOGE illegally took over and decimated their organization.

great, provocative column from larry tye on what it took to defeat the american nightmare of joe mccarthy and the ism that bears his name. along these lines, may i also point you to the 2nd season of my podcast, “ultra”: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

There are No Kings in the USA. On June 14th let your Voice Be Heard.

😅They are calling Air Force One the Panda Express now because it’s carrying “Orange Chicken.” 😂They are calling Karoline Leavitt “Taco Bell” and they’re calling Melania Trump “Taco Bell Grande,” 🤣🤣🤣 Gotta love the internet!

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

June 6, 1944: D-Day. They fought fascism with courage, sacrifice, and unity. To the veterans and to those in uniform today, we say: Their legacy is ours to carry. We honor them by standing together against hate and for each other. #D-Day #Veterans #ActiveDuty #Solidarity #Antifascism #JUNE6

@rosefabs.bsky.social If you follow political activist accounts, THIS TL has values we should ALL acknowledge and share💙👍

🚨BREAKING: Trump confirms he was rejected by Harvard.

I feel safer already.

Congress get off your ass and do you job before it’s too late and we end up living under an authoritarian state.

Senator Joni Ernst pathetic apology is a slap in the face to her Iowan constituents. Iowans deserve better than someone who doesn’t give a damn about Medicaid or Medicare which help to save lives. Vote Ernst out in 2026.

The ‘Prime Minister’ documentary will arrive in theatres on June 13th.

Another Putin lover having a bad day.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

Who agrees?
