On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Polls show Trump’s approval rating slipping again after a period of stabilization, though pollsters continue to disagree. He is losing ground on immigration, and polling on his budget bill isn’t great either.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

The vibe of that editorial is very NJ-mom, loves her gay son, is clashing w the daughter who says she's "non-binary" whatever THAT's supposed to mean, annoyed that they have to pay a FINE to drive in to see a show, I mean we keep the city ALIVE and btw were they trying to make some POINT with Gypsy?

This one goes out to all the people asking me what I have against Andrew Cuomo. This has been his M.O. for literally 48 years, except that in the 1977 (losing) mayoral campaign for his father, it was homosexuality, not antisemitism, that was the target of his last-ditch demonization campaign.

Mike Lee asks for prayers for Kristi Noem. Not so, when tweeting on the murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband. It’s deeply troubling when political leaders use real loss as fodder for divisive rhetoric. Senator Lee’s tweets crossed the line from criticism to disrespect and abject cruelty.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

🦋 Stephen Miller wants to deport 1 million but the goal is absurd From Feb-April ICE deported c40,500 people. Migration Policy Institute estimate Trump will deport half a million this year - less than Biden achieved in 2024. The deportation targets were always extreme, absurd & impossible to hit 🦋

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Conservative protests are always treated as an organic cry of anger that manifests the distress of the unjustly ignored American heartland; protests from the center-left are always written off as noise from inside the bubble.

There is no danger of having a "second Holocaust." There is real antisemitism, and the Iranian government is a malign actor whose leaders are antisemitic, but there is no danger of a "second Holocaust," and this kind of rhetoric helps no one.

Being a useful ally requires stable government, stable economy, a stable approach to international affairs, and an ability to consolidate political victories out of your wanton acts of violence. Israel possesses none of these qualities and actively makes US policymaking more erratic and incoherent.
