Zohran Mamdani stunned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the New York City mayoral primary race to the 33-year-old state lawmaker. trib.al/KfNebEQ

This monstrous June 23 decision is even harder to comprehend than disastrous — but still understandable — rulings like the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade or the decision creating permanent nearly absolute presidential immunity from criminal prosecution www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Women prosecuted for miscarriages at record levels since Roe overturned | Arizona Mirror flip.it/C892Bf

People: Ken, you have to resist hating and resenting young people just because you are old. Love and cherish young people and their different views. Young people:

Many of the worst crimes are perpetrated —by purposeful arrangement—in third countries. Auschwitz wasn’t in Germany. “Extraordinary renditions” weren’t to the United States. A green light into black holes. www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co... ht @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com @jamellebouie.net

It’s absurd in its truth. A murderer was treated better when taken into custody than an immigrant…

Shameful. I expect they will be sued.👇 "Nearly 100,000 North Carolina voters will be required to take an additional step to verify their identity or risk being disenfranchised under a plan approved by the GOP-controlled state board of elections Tuesday." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Folks should click the links to read story and esp original document - this GAO report cites potential citizens removed from March 2015-2020 (includes almost 2 full years of Obama)

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

The Supreme Court approved this today.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

🚨 Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say: CNN Exclusive 🔗 www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

🚨 LA: “Fake ICE agents targeting the schools” It was only a matter of time. How is anyone supposed to tell the difference? And now @MarshaBlackburn Jack Johnson & Speaker Sexton are codifying masked Secret Police vigilantes into law?

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Trump and the GOP told you that going to college was a bad idea. They hiked up tuition to historically unprecedented levels to make college much more expensive. And now they're cancelling all debt forgiveness and coming for your paycheck. That's punishment for going to college.

This is the use of the military for domestic law enforcement; I don’t see any other way to describe it.

shocker

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

"Alligator Alcatraz" This is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ latest move to curry favor with his cult leader, Donald Trump, by building a facility in the middle of the Everglades to detain immigrants. Its cost? $450 million dollars a year to run this facility youtu.be/bti_l31oxVA?...

UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

“In Pasadena last week, a man stepped out of his unmarked vehicle at an intersection, unholstered his pistol and aimed it at a group of pedestrians before returning to his car… That incident left the police chief of Pasadena resigned to figure out whether it was a crime or part of a federal raid.”

When you think it can’t get worse, it does! thehill.com/regulation/c...

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.  A reminder that abortion bans are not "pro-life." They are pro-poverty & pro-inequality. https://youtu.be/SN3oLwO0OEE?si=eRK9ZK-0doOhECIj

Breaking News: The U.S. strikes on Iran set the country’s nuclear program back by only a few months, a classified report said.

NYT: “.. early findings conclude that the strikes over the weekend set back Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months, the officials said.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Trump & the GOP have: -Killed CFPB rules saving consumers $15B in overdraft and credit card late fees -Dropped 22 CFPB actions against corporate lawbreakers -Halted $100M in restitution owed to student borrowers They're on corporate predators' side, not yours.

No, the Bob Jones University precedent does not entitle the IRS to turn a "public policy" knob and cut off Harvard's tax exemption [Aprill, @eotaxprof.bsky.social, Galle, and Mayer]

whoa! (gift link so you can read without the paywall) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

New from Democracy Docket.👇 "The failure underscores how, for all the talk on the right about election integrity, in many GOP-led states the goal of making the rolls more accurate may have taken a backseat to getting on the right side of the latest anti-voting crusade."

3.75 million children would have qualified!!😡 www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-g...

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

Former Trump lawyer Emil Bove who was “willing to ignore court orders in order to fulfill the president’s aggressive deportation campaign” per a whistle-blower” has a confirmation for a 3rd circuit judgeship Wednesday, a move widely seen as fastracking him for SCOTUS www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Rolling Stone has excerpted an essay from my forthcoming book. It's about what happens when you get all of your info about the world from the TV (cops are heroes!), and then go out into the world and see for yourself. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Geoffrey Robertson Human rights barrister: Trump’s rap sheet is long, but this may be his worst crime 🔥‼️🔥 Although few bother to point it out, Donald Trump has just committed a crime much worse than all the others on his rap sheet. It is the war crime of aggression – 🦋 archive.li/HOorg

By his own account, the military operation that Donald Trump mounted against Iran over the weekend “completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. The reality is more complex. Read our reporting:

The fate of Iran's nuclear programme depends significantly on what happened to the material, enriched to levels just short of weapons-grade. www.ft.com/content/12a8...
