Congresswoman AOC has introduced a bill that would ban Supreme Court Justices from accepting lavish gifts from the ultra wealthy. Love that, but what I find insane is that this isn’t already illegal.

The ICE shooting in Maine has upended Susan Collins’ re-election race Graham Platner’s exit had dominated the contest, but the killing of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero starkly shifted Mainers’ attention.

🚨 Two more Americans are dead. An Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan killed 2 American service members, left 1 missing, and wounded 4 more, according to CENTCOM. That brings the toll in this war to 16 Americans dead and more than 430 wounded.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

The U.S. government is breaking up families without an ounce of compassion. ICE is detaining migrants at court—asking judges to dismiss cases so they can arrest people as they leave & shove them into fast-track deportation. Word’s out: Show up, risk deportation. Stay home, lose your case.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money: “My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

Bennet: Did you know the President’s Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread? This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for him is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

More accurate, fewer words; "There are plenty of contractors going under". A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary. PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.
