Today was the first day of early voting in NYC, and my favorite thing about it was the line of 20 people outside waiting to get in. And we were told that it had been that crowded all day. Yay! We weren’t impatient — just happy to see the crowd. Let’s Go Vote!!

Yes! This is the time when we soon might be able to get the remaining states we need to sign on to the National Popular Vote Compact! www.nationalpopularvote.com/state-status

Wow. Had no idea that Newsom opposes any wealth tax. Definitely don’t need him in 2028!

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Mike Johnson really has them working hard for you, America.

Hey, TX — Worth another shot!

Just this year, China banned the import of Argentinian beef because it contained a dangerous antibiotic banned in beef intended for human consumption since 1995. Trump is still importing Argentinian beef to make beef prices go down. He doesn’t care about *your* health, only *his* poll numbers.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured nearly $670 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Spot on.

The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Wow. They should NEVER live this down. Let’s *all* repost this Meidas Touch post!

It’s even truer now.

He didn’t change. They did.

Epstein’s best friend says what?

😢 Can only imagine. 😔

@32-3w.bsky.social Can’t remember whether you’re on X, but in case you are and you see a post from me, know that it’s not me; my account was hacked yesterday.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Well worth reading this excellent piece by Robert Reich, warning us against a faux centrist org trying to peel Democrats away from progressives who will favor people over corporations.

Democracy Docket just published my latest about Trump's gutting of the Election Assistance Commission. These are dangerous times. I hope you read, learn and share. newsletters.democracydocket.com/-ltrump-just...

For anyone interested, a reminder that the July 4 classic “Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest” in Coney Island will be airing at noon on ESPN2.

Must-see TV. On today’s *Deadline White House* Nicolle Wallace will be interviewing Jack Smith.

Good op-ed. www.nydailynews.com/2026/06/13/t...

SPEECHLESS. LFGK

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

This is today in Minnesota. A swarm of ICE thugs bashed in the door with guns aimed. Everyone has to watch and share. This is now Sunday in America.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The good news is that the Nassau County DA, who worked on this case with the US Attorney’s office, has the goods to bring State charges against Santos — and may well do it. (And of course no federal commutation or pardon would work if he’s convicted.) thehill.com/regulation/c...

FACTS

Spot on. Not surprising they deleted it from the official record.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Clear that Trump knew the election was being rigged for him — thanks to his tech bros.

Mike Johnson shamelessly lies: "We strengthened Medicaid. We improved healthcare access and we lowered premiums with our legislation."

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
