Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

A federal judge asked DOJ to put it under oath: Is the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund really dead? Todd Blanche said no. DOJ called the request “unnecessary.” If the fund is truly gone, why the refusal to swear to it in court? That question isn’t going away. We know why. Of course we do.

Marilou & I are still on a high from The Presidential Center Opening! A non-stop party with inspirational speeches from Barack & Michelle, followed by a FANtastic 🎶 concert (check out the artists below)! By the time Stevie Wonder performed "Higher Ground" the crowd nearly passed out from sheer joy!🥰

Mississippi called a special session TODAY to erase the only Black congressman in this state. Mississippi residents showed up. All of them. On their doorstep. In their streets. To show them what they're fighting against. ✊🏼 #mississippi #democracy

There is not a single insurrectionists MFer who beat a cop that should get a penny of our money. Not one. And the people making this decision will all be appointed by Blanche and will meet in secret. This is an impeachable offense by Blanche.

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

Ben Meiselas on the Comey indictment: You frickin’ snowflake losers. I mean, aren’t these people just the biggest losers in the world? It’s a crew of snowflake losers. Who likes this crew? They’re weird. They’re losers. And they’re going to lose this criminal case.

🚨Florida voters are being shut out of approving the new electoral maps. Ron DeSantis knows they’d reject them — so he’s ramming them through, just like Texas did. It’s ILLEGAL. California and Virginia let their voters decide. Stop the rigged power grab! Demand fair maps NOW. #NoIllegalFloridaMaps

I wish we would quit pretending he is a legitimate president and get rid of him through the Democratic process. I would love for democracy to bring the thing that brings down fascism.

Am I the only one who finds it absurd that the US government seeks to punish a comedian for a joke, yet ignores a presidential threat to demolish an entire civilisation?

DeSantis rammed through a gerrymandered map that violates Florida’s own constitution — and leaked it to Fox News before the legislature even saw it. California and Virginia let voters decide. Florida deserves the same. DeSantis is shredding fair districts for partisan gain. #NoIllegalFloridaMaps

A child rapist who fomented an armed insurrection against the US government would reallllllly like a big tacky bunker in the People’s House but probably not for any nefarious reasons. He wants this more than he wants Americans to eat. Call your reps: 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump #8647

Something to watch: Three Republican senators voted against the DeSantis map in committee today; four more would need to vote no on the floor, which seems unlikely though at least an outside possibility, in part given bad blood between the legislature and the governor.

LANDSMAN: You've cut healthcare by nearly $1t & now you're gonna cut the EPA by 50%. ZELDIN: I hear from Americans across the country happy to get more back in their tax return LANDSMAN: You don't talk to folks. That really isn't true. Nobody is saying 'thank you' for cutting their healthcare

Is it just a coincidence that the DOJ indicted James Comey today after a judge ruled that his daughter Maurene Comey’s termination lawsuit can move forward? 🤔 Probably just a coincidence, huh? Probably also just a coincidence that she was a lead prosecutor on the Epstein case too.
