@cameronkasky.bsky.social, really good debate.

Former President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and he DID freed the slaves. This just you that Charlie Kirk don't know American history. Oh by the way Charlie Kirk, it is a federal holiday and there's nothing you can do about it.

A heartfelt statement from my dear friend, Senator John Hoffman, and his wife Yvette Hoffman, following the horrifying attempt on their lives this past weekend. Let us hold them in our thoughts as they begin to process the trauma of this senseless act. Their courage and resilience is remarkable.

MAGA: ā€œMake American Great Againā€ Also MAGA: ā€œJuneteenth isn’t great.ā€

Oh he’s getting ready to TACO

I love to see Trump and all the haters salty about Juneteenth šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Had a GREAT day today POUND SAND!

Young Kim wouldn’t show up to speak to you. So I did.

Donald Trump is not a king and not above the law. Tonight, the court rightly rejected Trump’s claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court.

Congratulations @meidastouch.com on 5 Million Subscribers! A job well done! @meiselasb.bsky.social, @bmeiselas.bsky.social, and @meidasjordy.bsky.social. What a huge accomplishment! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡²

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Donald Trump will make his decision on Iran coming within the next two weeks. The American people have already made our decision: #NoWar

Donald Trump’s budget bill will gut healthcare access for more than 11 million Americans. Repost this. Keep this in the news.

federal agents at Dodger Stadium.

Donald Trump now believes striking Iran is "necessary." I understand, that Iran shouldn't have a nuclear weapon. But, does the United States really needs to get involved? Is there other ways to handle this? Donald Trump promised "no more wars." Turns out to be a lie. #NoWar āŒļø

This is something that the American people are against. We don't need to be involved in a war. #NoWar āŒļø

On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Texas as federal troops arrived to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. This #Juneteenth, we honor their resilience and reflect on how far we've come—and how far we still must go—in the fight for equality for all.

THE VIEW: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate? JASMINE CROCKETT: No. Not at all.

#Juneteenth has been celebrated under many names over the years. It has been called: ⚫ Freedom Day 🟢 Jubilee Day šŸ”“ Second Independence Day 🟔 Emancipation Day In 2019, Gov. Wolf signed legislation designating June 19 as ā€œJuneteenth National Freedom Dayā€ in Pennsylvania.

Today, we commemorate an important milestone on America's long road toward liberty and justice for all. #Juneteenth is not only a reminder of slavery's stain on the soul of our nation and a celebration of freedom—but an opportunity to recommit our fight for a more perfect union.

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.

I’ve had many conversations with Pennsylvanians about Medicaid—a program that I’m committed to protecting for the millions of lives that rely on it. One of those conversations was with a kind little boy from Tioga County named Ian. His mother Jodi shared their story with me.

KIMMEL: ā€œI think what happened was someone told Trump his ā€˜poll’ numbers were bad, and he was like, ā€˜Well, then let’s add two more POLES.ā€™ā€ šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Despite noncitizen voting being already illegal and rare, Republicans have used false claims to fuel voter purges and lawsuits across multiple states. Even after Trump won in 2024, the push to restrict voting access hasn’t stopped. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As the first Black Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, I’ve lived the American dream – but I recognize that history can’t stop here. This Commonwealth will continue to work for everyone, creating more opportunities for everyone to live their American dream. Happy Juneteenth!

Republicans are—and have always been—the party of needless foreign wars, attacks on free speech, and tax cuts for the rich.

This Juneteenth, I think of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who reminded us that ā€œdarkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.ā€ There’s serious work ahead as we build a more just nation.

On #Juneteenth, we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States. Today, we also recommit to fighting for racial justice. I will not stop fighting to root out the systemic discrimination that infects our country, and set our country on a better path.

On Juneteenth, we pause to commemorate the effective end of slavery. I’m also taking the opportunity to reflect on our history — the good, the bad, and the ugly — so we can learn from it and build a more equitable and just future.

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans learned they were free. Today, we celebrate Juneteenth. A milestone and a reminder that progress demands persistence. We reflect on how far we’ve come, and recognize how far we still have to go to achieve true equality.

Juneteenth is a celebration — the anniversary of when the last enslaved Black Americans were freed. We carry the weight of slavery’s legacy every day. But today, we honor freedom. We honor joy. And we celebrate!

On @chrislhayes.bsky.social, I called on @schumer.senate.gov to support @kaine.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, Rep. Massie & my resolution opposing a war in Iran. This is a defining moment for our party where too many blundered in supporting the Iraq war. Now we need to be clear — no war in Iran.

Peace be upon us.

"Construction on the White House Rose Garden is underway, and the historic garden’s green grass is now completely torn up... Trump told Fox News he planned to remodel the space with pavers, saying the grass 'doesn’t work'...ā€ www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/p...

The Tijuana River sewage crisis is in serious need of a long-term solution. I’ve secured hundreds of millions in federal funds to fix it and won’t stop until the job is done. Listen to this explainer on where we are now and what u comes next.

🚨 STAGFLATION WARNING: The Fed now predicts a brutal mix for 2025: — Inflation UP to 3% — Growth DOWN to 1.4% — Unemployment UP to 4.5% They’re holding rates steady for now—but still expect 2 cuts this year.

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

🚨 WSJ: TRUMP HAS PRIVATELY APPROVED ATTACK PLANS ON IRAN, FINAL ORDER ON PAUSE

😬

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: ā€œThere was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.ā€

Wild how the Senate version of Trump's pork filled BIG RIP OFF bill cuts Medicaid MORE than the House version THEY'RE DEFUNDING HEALTH CARE A trillion in cuts to pay for largest billionaire welfare giveaway ever Repubs are trying to sneak through the HEIST OF THE CENTURY!

So now that Elon’s gone, does that make Stephen Miller the ā€œPresidentā€ now???

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Welch: I have no faith in him all because he acts like a guy who got a day pass from the memory wing of a nursing home. When you see him on TV, he's slurring. He's not competent. It is just terrifying when you see the chyron that says Trump is reviewing war plans.

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is ā€œdangerously closeā€ to normalizing behavior ā€œconsistent with autocracies.ā€

Trump’s ICE is NOT going to care that these young men are in uniform when federal agents go to detain their mother. What a travesty that these wonderful young men who are serving our country have to accompany their mother to her immigration hearing.
