“If you believe in a multiracial democracy — join us.
If you believe in free and fair elections — join us.
If you believe in fair Black representation in the South and across America — join us.”
Leader Hakeem Jeffries
I had the opportunity to interview Xavier Becerra.
I appreciate that he’s not blowing smoke up our ass when it comes to single-payer healthcare.
He understands the political & financial hurdles, but also made clear he’s committed to doing the work to move California closer to making it a reality.
Every official who participated in this corrupt DOJ process should face termination or impeachment, followed by a full criminal referral for prosecution. Public trust demands consequence.
Thomas Massie isn't going quietly:
“Today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.”
(The US gets little credit.)
The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts.
This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.
Thomas Massie risked his career to pass the most popular & consequential bipartisan legislation in modern history with me.
He won young voters who believe the system is unfair by 45%.
A new generation will build a movement against the corrupt status quo.
NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors:
"Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"
The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal:
“[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”
The National Voter Registration Act was passed 33 years ago today.
Instead of working overtime to redraw state maps that dilute our voting power and pushing for anti-voter laws like the SAVE Act, lawmakers should heed the promise of this critical legislation and make voting more accessible to all.
“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr:
In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine.
She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation.
Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3
The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged.
Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

Whew!
Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart:
“This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”
This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.
As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."
