BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

This is what fighting for healthcare in America looks like. Seniors in wheelchairs are demanding no cuts to Medicaid and they are getting arrested. Nothing says ’Land of the free’ like cuffing grandma for defending healthcare!

Jamie Raskin-Constitution expert extraordinaire Explaining article 1 & how the framers defined the role of the President.

I was honored to speak at the Cleveland City Club today. I made clear that, as Governor, I would veto any number of provisions from the current state budget. But the truth is, the entire budget is an example of why Ohio is sliding backwards.

Trump:  "The intelligence was very inconclusive. The intelligence says we don't know. It could have been very severe. That's what the intelligence says. So I guess that's correct. But I think we can take the we don't know. It was very severe. It was obliteration."

The panicked, unfit, twice impeached felon is out of his depth launching our country into war, emotionally unhinged and cognitively defunct.

It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard.   After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots.   I’ll be voting no.

No new wars.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

At my request, federal authorities, @ilstatepolice.bsky.social, and local law enforcement have kept me updated on any potential physical and cyber threats to the homeland that could affect Illinois. We will remain vigilant and publicly communicate if there are related incidents or concerns.

After 20 years of giving tax cuts to the wealthy, what did the Ohio Senate GOP do in their budget? You guessed it. They gave another tax cut to those who don't need it. That's one of the reasons zero Democrats voted for their budget. We discuss it in this week's ICYMI.

The budget passed by the Ohio Senate last week (with bipartisan opposition), was the worst collection of public education policies I have ever seen. It makes me wonder if Statehouse Republicans are simply trying to put Ohio's public schools out of business. We discuss it in this week's ICYMI.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

Happy Juneteenth from Cleveland, Ohio

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

What are some good orgs for trans youth that could use some donations on this awful day? Reply below.

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject
