Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

We’ve seen schools do this before. If this one-year party suspension doesn’t turn into a permanent ban, then it’s just a message to fraternities that they have true impunity. That even the worst, most violent behavior will result in a temporary slap on the wrist.

Air conditioning keeps us cool, but it also heats the 🌎. As temperatures rise, demand for cooling is set to triple by 2050. But keeping cool doesn’t always mean cranking up the AC. From shade & ventilation to cool roofs, here are 5 ways to beat the heat with less energy: https://bit.ly/4zexrmn

We need to get over the finish line first! You a U.S. citizen abroad? Know one? Gotta vote!! Go to VoteFromAbroad.org for ballots and help with questions about voting.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Texans, if you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it! trib.al/OP3mVj5

Studies show that engaging with stories offers several cognitive benefits. Since fiction helps readers understand complex social dynamics and enhances empathy, reading it may strengthen the social skills we use to understand and connect with others. https://wapo.st/4ggFGq7

"Ultimately, the gadflies don’t seem to actually understand how being a transgender athlete works. The idea that cisgender men like Enes and Royce would voluntarily undergo chemical castration to try to join the WNBA and make a minuscule rookie salary is farcical on its face."

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

These are the armbands with the stars on them in case you didn’t know.

Graphic in English: Days with temperatures over 40 degrees C in Austria since the beginning of temp recording in 1767: seven. Six of those days were this year.

"It’s unbelievable to subject kids to these kinds of invasive medical exams that have no basis in health or safety. One of my daughters is a rising fourth-grader, and she played a sport last year. Are you going to ask a fourth-grader to undergo this?” s/o @momsrising.org

Priorities.

Here's your shocking statistic for the day.

They’re kids!

A big reason for Democrats to promise prison time for Republicans in power and the use of the state to undermine the Republican Party as an organization is because our former allies need to believe that someday soon, America will cease to be like this.

Nearly 1 million people lost a combined $3.8 billion buying Trump’s crypto coin. Trump walked away with $636 million. That is a SCAM.

Waking up in Germany to find out they did! Well done, Belgium!

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Why does he have to ruin everything??? It’s sports and it’s not always fair. Ask Germany about that goal they were denied. Germans weren’t up in arms and the Chancellor didn’t call FIFA. Thus is such BS.

Pride month may be over, but if you have the means, please support Margie’s Hope which runs a trans-affirming clothing store in my area! They’re only 45% of their goal right now. thebuckeyeflame.com/2026/06/22/w...

Long shot, but if anyone in North #Oxford has lost a tortoise with a surprising turn of speed in the heat, do get in touch..

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

WIC used to have bipartisan support because even Republicans said "Well of course we want to make sure pregnant women and babies have enough to eat, we're not monsters," but now they say "Screw those freeloading babies, we've got a gold-plated ballroom to build"

That’s quite a chart www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

Excellent. People are pissed. Now do something about it. Have you registered to vote? Do you have all the documentation you need in order to do so? Start planning now. Anger is good. Action is better.

It should alarm everyone that, as our HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. has no clue how his dismantling of the Hep B vaccine recommendation harms Americans.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Articles about Jared Kushner's diplomatic role with Iran that mention Kushner has received billions from the Saudi government (2/28-4/19): NYT: 5 of 58 WashPost: 1 of 43 WSJ: 0 of 40 AP: 0 of 26 CNN Wire: 0 of 18 NY Post: 0 of 17 Chicago Tribune: 0 of 4 LA Times: 0 of 4 Boston Globe: 0 of 2

I mean there it is.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

It's amazing what it says about income inequality that the math on this proposal actually works.

Eisenhower

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.

Massie goes full beast mode today. Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

Make no mistake – for around 10% of the cost of his billionaire handouts, Trump could have extended the critical health care tax credits that helped millions of hardworking Americans afford their insurance.

I had the great pleasure of hearing U. S. Congresswoman Sarah McBride @mcbride.house.gov speak at an event here in Munich: "Defending Democracy: LGBTQ+ Representation Across the Globe," organized by @victoryinstitute.bsky.social . McBride’s a fabulous speaker and I’m glad we have her in Congress.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Even with the so-called "drawdown," many Minneapolis area activists say little has changed since hundreds of agents left and they're preparing for prolonged resistance. The anxiety remains palpable after two fatal shootings of US Citizens by federal agents in January. https://cnn.it/4rAFZ34
