DC Dad here: If your big boy’s special day is in late June, that’s an indoor party.

No Thug Fund. No DoJ “settlements” to rioters and other henchmen. No free pass to fraud from the IRS.

“Hostile sexism” — defined as the belief that men should dominate — strongly predicts dislike of Taylor Swift, particularly among Republican men.

Pam Bondi's letter to Minnesota on Saturday demanding the state's voter rolls is now showing up in court:

"He’s not even really pretending any longer to give a shit about working people in America. It’s why he’s been so widely rejected, because it’s clear his politics is really about enriching himself & his friends and screwing over everybody else. People have figured that out." — @simonwdc.bsky.social

So…the whole world, then?

Marco Rubio is the acting Archivist of the United States, as it happens

The irony is so thick, you could make bricks out of it.

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

New in PN: Chairman Trump's Great Grift Forward "In his second term, Trump is at last unleashed to fully realize his vision, and on economics, that means a new kind of mobster state capitalism."

“If Trump is untouched by either a third impeachment or criminal prosecution, it will be an extraordinary miscarriage of justice. Even so, his presidency will still go down in history as the embodiment of injustice, malfeasance, cruelty and transgression.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

LICCARDO: Capital One contributed $1 million to Trump's inauguration. And what happened as a result to the CFPB case? HARPER: They got their case dismissed LICCARDO: We're watching the defunding of the financial police happening

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

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Aaaand there it is.

The First Amendment still applies to speech about abortion even if Texas doesn't want it to, EFF’s Jennifer Pinsof told @taylorlorenz.bsky.social’s Power User podcast.

Justice Allison Riggs sworn in following a six month election battle against her GOP opponent

40 years ago today, Philadelphia police bombed a neighborhood killing 11 Black people, including 5 Black children. The only person who went to prison was Ramona Africa, a Black woman who survived the bombing. Chances are this is the first you've heard about it. www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-mark...

Last month I wrote about how the Trump regime is enacting Structural Eugenics that is killing women, low income, Black, & Latino Americans. Here is that piece: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-is-e... I'm publishing Part 2 later today, because he's doubling down & corporate media is still ignoring it.

I see lots of fellow leftists & pro-Palestine ppl celebrating at the seeming ‘rupture’ between Netanyahu & Trump. Folks, it’s Trump. Don’t pay attention to what he says; pay attention to what he does - & what Israel does with his support. Right now, it’s the starving of Gaza.

So now a group spawned by Stephen Miller is suing Chief Justice John Roberts, demanding that the Chief turn control of the Federal Courts over to The White House. Even if it’s just clickbait, it provides a peek into their fevered dreams! talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

Hopefully this report will help Americans understand that there _wasn't_ a prior period during which Elon Musk was a mensch who cared about the environment. He's always been a robber baron who cares about nothing but profit and his own glorification. Environmental issues were merely a tool for him.

I just voted to help @credomobile.bsky.social decide how to distribute its monthly funding to progressive nonprofits. You can vote, too! It's free and takes less than a minute. Vote here: bit.ly/3hA7arP

Common law: Birthright citizenship is given by native birth, with very few exceptions for agents of foreign powers Supreme Court: Cool, but not Black people, no matter free or enslaved Republicans in 1866: Let's fix that Two law professors in 2025: Well, things are really very complicated. No.

38% of people living in Mike Johnson's district were enrolled in Medicaid last year. Yet Johnson is pushing for devastating cuts to Medicaid — all to pay for tax cuts that will predominantly go to the rich. Is there a better encapsulation of the Republican Party?

There’s a word for it.

The level of incompetence is of these F&@/ing idiots is shocking. I think it’s a function of zero guardrails and zero accountability that breeds this level of impunity.

This is...nonsense

The measles virus spreads like wildfire, and case counts can quickly explode. One person, on average, infects 12 to 18 others who are susceptible to measles. Therefore, if one patient infects 15 others, who each infects 15 more, 225 cases suddenly result. If each of those people infects 15…

Here's how it happened. www.mediamatters.org/trumprussia/...

Martin has repeatedly violated the oath he took to uphold the Constitution—not just the parts of it he likes—and should be removed from office. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.” Uh....

When Trump declared that the "age of rule by unelected bureaucrats is over!" Democrats audibly laughed and many pointed in Elon Musk's direction.

All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

“We have a president who has indicated that Russia is not an aggressor. He is sending a message that he really does believe that he's above the law. I think we have to do as much as we can as fast as we can to prevent him from becoming a dictator.”

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying. Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

I mean, of course they are

Of course if you do that the risk of escalation before breakout is substantial. Which is why what Trump is doing is crazy.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

JUST NOW: Vance and Trump disrespected and attacked Zelenskyy together in front of the world. Somewhere Putin is smiling. More: www.instagram.com/reel/DGoB-xG...

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

FL, the christian state, is home to the Rapist Repatriation Program nice job, desantis!

Has anyone interviewed the parents of the DOGE bros yet? Their exes and former roommates?
