Dear America Voter, This is what the Trump admin is focused on today, when they aren’t insider trading, making everything more expensive, selling pardons, and taking bribes from cronies. Vote out all Republican enablers of this corrupt and pathetic regime.

Put a sociopath in the White House and he’ll not think twice about using his own staff and other humans as decoys/potential collateral damage when he learns that HIS safety could be at risk if he flies on the ill-equipped Qatari bribe/lux AIr Force One. Not surprising, but utterly disgusting.

So does Trump also think that Flo Balogun is a citizen or nah? Could somebody who is a White House reporter ASK HIM ABOUT THAT instead of merely republishing his press releases??

Silly me for thinking nobody could out-corrupt FIFA’s Sepp Blatter, but Gianni Infantino really said, “Hold my beer.” Peak corruption.

TONIGHT: While Trump holds his little birthday cage match at the White House, we’ll be joining the nationally livestreamed night of joy, music, and action with Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Julia Roberts, Lily Gladstone, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, and many more friends of the First Amendment.

For all the studious, self-serious, resource-sucking attention on every utterance from the president, I'm surprised this one very unique, very consistent tic of his hasn't had more attention: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Here’s my plea to the national security press: don’t report what he announces at face value. You’ve been suckered over and over to cover his fake trade deals and ceasefire “announcements” like they are real. He’s desperate to look like he’s got a plan. Make sure it’s not fake.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Ohio’s small business owners have worked hard to create millions of jobs in this state. 

These community leaders deserve a Senator who sees that hard work and fights to protect it.

I thought his father was born in the U.S. and his grandfather was born in Germany…. Is Trump the child of undocumented migrants, or is so mentally shook he’s mixing up his father and grandfather. Neither is a great look.

What a disgusting display of privilege. Meanwhile, investigations go on in Trump assassination plot, Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, and hundreds of other cases. Serving as FBI Director is a responsibility, not a license to party with celebrities. www.facebook.com/share/r/18Ec...

A 6-3 Court tells Trump he lacks the power to impose tariffs under IEEPA

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Why did BBC state that Pam Bondi apologized to Epstein's victims yesterday in her hearing, when she, defiantly, did not??? This headline was on the news with @lucyhawkins.bsky.social this morning. I count on you to report the truth. Please make this correction #bondihearing

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech. Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Every accusation is a confession.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Share far and wide. These guys shot and killed Alex Pretti. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone. I’ll never regret voting for them.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

THIS! 👇🏼

🤣🤣🤣

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Is there NO ONE who has standing to sue the government to force the release of the Epstein files??? It’s a damn law!

In response to the regime’s political violence, over 100,000 people have signed up for tonight’s mass call on exercising our constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents. We hope you can join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

ICE wants to use violence to stop us from exercising our constitutional rights. Over the weekend, they murdered a man. Tonight, 87,000 new people (so far) will get trained to continue his work. Join the No Kings coalition for a mass ICE Watch training:

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life. But 5 minutes later….

Yes.

@espn.com You can't afford to have a decent in-studio expert commentator on the desk for tge SC v Vandy game??? Instead, you have less than impressive, McKewon, dialing in from home? Where are the real experts? McGraw? Vargas? Carter? Ogwumike? Do better! #everyonewatcheswomenssports

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

The government is LYING to you! #wakeupamerica

What we’ve seen in Minnesota should make you furious, but it should also inspire you.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

In the face of hatred, Dr. King inspired us to build a society filled with hope, kindness, and love for our neighbor. Together, we must continue to work to enact his vision of equal opportunity for all.

Damn right.

By free speech these people mean, ‘things they agree with’ and/or racist and misogynist stuff. Free speech free me, but not for thee Republicans 24:7

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Powell standing up to Trump is the same thing as the Minneapolis residents standing up to ICE - both rely on the realization that all of their power flows out of their ability to make you afraid, and you don’t have to be, and then they have barely any power over you anymore.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

TWO. Two chances this Supreme Court had to make the right call. One was the simply call January 6 what it was: An insurrection. Even the liberal justices couldn’t do that. The other was to not make sham and politically-motivated investigations an “official act.” And here we fucking are.
