i am glad that more people are catching on to the fact that mike lee is a total degenerate

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

we are living in the golden age of scamming and grifting

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

The Republican Senate Finance draft cuts to Medicaid are deeper and more devastating than even the Republican House’s disaster of a bill This could lead to even more than the 16M people expected to lose health insurance and the hundreds of hospitals and health centers facing higher risk of closure

Finance Committee text is out - this has the Medicaid cuts and the tax cuts. Will go through it in this thread. But what we can say for certain is that, like the House version, this would be BY FAR the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking many millions of people off their health insurance.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

THIS: "sexual harassment tells you everything about someone's relationship with power" Thank you for this concise and on-the-mark framing, @ourobororoboruo.bsky.social

DOJ adventures in proofreading. This court filing was signed by the Acting U.S. Attorney, Criminal Division Chief, and Deputy Criminal Division Chief of the district behind the prosecution of Judge Hannah Dugan. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying

Terry Moran has no regrets. The now-former ABC News correspondent sat down for two interviews on Monday, speaking out for the first time about losing his job at the network after he posted a social media missive last week against President Donald Trump and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

Melissa Hortman was murdered in her own home. Not a random act. A political assassination. We cannot afford silence—or soft language. Or hope as a plan. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Now that's an orange king I would support! #orangecat #cat #gingercat #nokings

Dear Squeaky Tank, Thank you for your service. 🫡

It’s hard to believe that the Senate Republicans would put forward a bill that’s even worse than the House bill on Medicaid, but they did. Even more people will lose health care Even more hospitals will close Even more people will have their health insurance costs skyrocket

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Birds of a feather always flock together

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

Just heinous people.... Guy from the Good Liars says at the military parade he met a guy who told him he wears ICE jackets and goes to Home Depot just to scare the immigrant workers. Heinous, disgusting people.

What role did his wife Jenny Boelter play in this mass murder? Police stopped her with a car full of cash, firearms, and passports—then let her go. Contrast this leniency with the cruelty of ICE raiding, arresting, & deporting US citizens of Latino backgrounds. www.qasimrashid.com/p/mn-terrori...

Great line here: "Considered individually, defendants’ legal arguments are meritless. Considered in the aggregate, they are terrifying."

New: From retired General Mark Hertling on the need for the military to maintain public trust… @markhertling.bsky.social

Kinda wild that we all get to pay taxes to fund a civil war against us

GUYS, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT INVESTIGATE

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

I just got called “arrogant” by a man for talking about a subject area in which I have more than 50 years of experience. Just another day as a woman on the internet.

I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ. VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says. Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

I think we are dangerously underestimating how many jobs we will lose to AI and how deep the spiritual cost will be. The industry tells us strong restrictions on AI will hurt us and help China. I wrote this to explain how they pulling one over on us. www.chrismurphyct.com/p/in-our-scr...

When does the “great” part start?

Big news a few wks back when 4 Paul Weiss partners annc'd they were leaving to form a new firm. At least 6 more PW attys have left since (3 partners/3 assoc) & the new firm now estimates ~19 PW attys have/will be joining. That's...a lot. If anyone's doing a costs-of-capitulation study, I'm all ears.

No words needed. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads. op: mantalks

The March of Dissent occurred in downtown Fort Worth on 6/14/2025, and it was breathtaking. It was the brainchild of Sabrina Ball and featured a lot of very brave marchers. I cut together this montage of the photos to give you all a sense of it. #fortworth #wakeup #nokings #seeitnameitfightit

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Political violence must always be condemned.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.
