OPINION by @jordan-s-rubin.bsky.social: “Abrego was taken into immigration custody Monday morning. His lawyers filed a new lawsuit Monday to challenge his latest detention and potential deportation.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

Love this photo of Monarch Butterflies in Ontario Canada probably Point Peel National that i went to yearly in Sept in my twenties as they gathered to cross Lake erie migrating south waited for the wind to change

Just lying on a hospital bed; waiting for @maddow.msnbc.com

As a Marine, I know that loving our country includes studying and learning from its mistakes so we don't repeat them. Trump's attack on Smithsonian museums for teaching "how bad slavery was" is an embarrassment. History hasn't been and won't be kind to Donald Trump's fake patriotism.

Notably, I saw a poll yesterday that showed Elon with a higher approval rating than Chuck Schumer.. (unfortunately I don't have time to find it, but I *think* it was Morning Consult)

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

from today's post, on New York's and California's governors promising to redraw their electoral maps if Texas goes ahead and redraws theirs. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/4fwqlkM (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

In April, Trump approval among men = 48% Now = 39% April, Trump approval among women = 39% Now = 35% April, Trump approval among independents = 31% Now = 21% "This is really bad news for Trump, and for Republicans who depend on independents in close elections...” www.umass.edu/news/article...

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated #EpsteinFiles

This broad complicity by Republicans is unacceptable & requires accountability… Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin just admitted that congressional Republicans are voting against efforts to release Epstein files in full because they’re trying to give Trump “cover.” newrepublic.com/post/198410/...

NEW: There are 2 minutes and 52.78 seconds missing from the end of the first of two clips that make up the FBI's "full raw" Epstein prison video. The first clip cuts out at 11:58:58—at the "missing minute." 🫠 @dmehro.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/the-fb...

In the White House today, Trump tried to wag the dog to distract from his Epstein problems. But if you pull a rabid dog’s tail, you get bit every time. As MAGA falls apart, Putin is Reversing QAnon on Trump. www.mind-war.com/p/reversing-...

“America would be a republic, and the real danger in republics was not oligarchic power but the power of untrammeled majorities.” Excerpt: John Adams and the Fear of American Oligarchy

Grok is doing something very odd right now. It posted blaming DOGE cuts for deaths in the Texas floods, writing, "Facts over feelings." Called out by Musk fans, it doubled down: "Facts aren't woke; they're just facts." Then it backtracked and claimed screenshots of the posts were fake (they're not).

Right-wing conspiracies drove red states to leave ERIC, a data compact that helps states maintain voter rolls, and vow to create their own voter data systems. Two years later, those efforts have instead put voters at risk of disenfranchisement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The high court is defining the contours of Donald Trump’s power on a rolling basis and often provisionally—but consequentially

Donald Trump has successfully hidden his growing power, which has reached "unprecedented" levels, according to an independent political strategist who worked on former President George W. Bush's campaign.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

GS-15 (the highest paid category in the standard government pay scale) is some seriously bullshit for these dumbasses. Long-term employees have to be pissed.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky
