Blowed up good! Blowed up real good!

Good morning bluesky!

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court UPHELD a Tennessee law restricting gender transition care for minors. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

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.

Kristi Noem was rushed to hospital for an allergic reaction. Logic would dictate that she accidentally swallowed her own venom.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.

Trump is truly TACO 🌮 even in his immigration policies. Trump’s recent flip flops on his positions on farms, restaurants, and hotels shows how easily he is manipulated. My latest on the Katie Phang News channel: youtu.be/--ez1Wr48aQ

NYC Comptroller, Brad Lander, repeatedly asks for these masked people (purported federal agents) to produce a judicial warrant.

I hope the good people of Utah fire him in 2028 - though he should resign now.

ICE is driving through the inner city now in military tanks to kidnap children off the streets and @governor.ca.gov thinks his lawsuit is enough

Happiness

Psychopathic

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

This sums it up perfectly

Agree 1000%.

READ THIS: One of Smith’s top aides sent a scathing email to Mike Lee's staff calling them out for exploiting “the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats.” charliesykes.substack.com/p/have-you-a...

Before Elonia deleted the tweets, after they drank the flavor aid, while JDoom grows up to be closeted.

WITHOUT VIOLENCE, TRUMP IS NOTHING. The Minnesota MAGA Murders, Trump playing with his toy tanks, and the assault on Sen. Padilla prove it anew OTOH Trump just TACO'd the mass deportations because Rotting Harvests GET THE NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/58av9yec

Remember who you voted for.

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

“Lee spread unfounded claims about the alleged gunman across multiple posts, making light of the killings and attempting to blame the violence on the political left[,] [and] falsely tied the slayings to Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.” www.sltrib.com/news/politic... I

Photo from The Hill's Al Weaver (from Xitter) catches Tina Smith confronting Mike Lee.

The reactions to the Minnesota shooting have been unhinged and insane. There is no room for violence…. It only gets worse: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POY9...

NEW: Federal judge Allison Burroughs has briefly extended a temporary restraining order to June 23, that temporarily blocks Trump's plan to bar foreign nationals from entering the U.S. to study at Harvard University. www.reuters.com/world/us/har...

I’m on my way back to the East Coast! I’ve missed everyone, but really enjoyed seeing (some small parts) of Alaska, our 49th state! I especially enjoyed the hospitality of the most lovely Canadians in Vancouver! 🍁 Took lots of pictures and will be back in the saddle tomorrow! See you all then!

The framers understood moral turpitude. Trump eats it for breakfast. That should sum it up.

What he said... ✊ Rage against the machine

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences.

Federal prosecutors are not charging Vance Boelter with domestic terrorism. Spraypainting a Tesla is terrorism to the Trump admin but what Boelter did was not?

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

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.

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.”

I lost my dad on Father’s Day 2019. Doesn’t matter how long the time goes by, it’s never any easier for me. I’m grateful for the gift of my wonderful father. He was the best of us. Happy Father’s Day to you amazing dads, father figures, and folks who are stepping up in all of the ways. ♥️
