If you’ve got today off from work, you can thank CONGRESSWOMAN SHEILA JACKSON LEE for making today a federal holiday!
But in all seriousness, Juneteenth is a reminder of what those who came before us went through
My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems
I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right.
3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!
I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.
These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment.
Read my full letter to my colleagues here:

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."
Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:
George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
Vice President Harris: "The checks and balances upon which we have historically relied have begun to buckle."
"When the checks and balances ultimately collapse, if Congress fails to do its part, or if the courts fail to do their part … Well, friends, that is called a constitutional crisis."
Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.
Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.
FLAG: Kash Patel says the FBI has arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan and charged her with obstructing an immigration operation.
It's the first known instance in Trump's second term of DOJ prosecuting a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement.
Trump’s organization is out here selling Trump 2028 hats like the Constitution is just a suggestion.
Reminder: The 22nd Amendment exists. You can’t run for a third term.
It’s one insane thing after another with RFK Jr….now it comes out that HHS planning to cut the National Suicide Hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth that gets 2,100 contacts per day….cruelty is the point with this heartless bastard www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Jasmine Crockett: ''I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped that plane from taking off last night. Because deporting folks with no criminal record and no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. You can’t scream 'law and order' while breaking the law at every turn.''
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
The National Park Service quietly edited its website about the Underground Railroad to remove key references and quotes from Harriet Tubman and soften its language about slavery
How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country?
They called it from day one.
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.
Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people.
Blazing your own path for the W
👏👏👏👏👏
Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.
Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.
We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.
And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.
The time to organize is now.

Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.
I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is
All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.
Their finances will be turned upside
Crockett: Free speech is not about whatever it is that you all want somebody to say. And the idea that you want to shut down everybody that isn’t Fox News is bullshit
I love that with every lie told by the Trump administration, Goldberg released an additional piece to show that they were lying and then they put out another lie explanation and then he debunks it again with screenshots
Stop what you’re doing for one second and watch @cameronkasky.bsky.social on Gavin Newsom and his new podcast.
He sums it all up perfectly in 90 seconds.
Isn’t it funny how the media and certain members of the public don’t care that JD Vance is virtually invisible during all this chaos but there were routine hit pieces on Kamala Harris about her unlikeability and constant attacks on her whereabouts?
Hey Greenland, why are you letting Americas planes land there?
Why don’t you deny Usha Vance and the crew landing clearance?
Fight back now or don’t be shocked when you can’t
AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress
We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress
We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress
Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us
