Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

lollllll -- Ossoff proposes a motion that would ban senators from trading stocks and crypto, prompting Sen. Lummis (who loves crypto) to immediately object

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

“You can breathe in outer space if you ignore the need for oxygen.”

this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan

ICE plans to sell or give away seven warehouses it bought for $700 million to detain migrants, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. The decision, a major reversal, is a rejection of a signature initiative under the previous homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem. trib.al/o5iUEu3

We flew B2 bombers halfway around the world we fought for 40 days we killed their supreme leader and then we handed them $300 billion. That’s not a win that’s what happens when you give a clown a flamethrower. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

NEW: Records obtained by ProPublica detail at least a dozen SpaceX investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong or Russia who acquired stakes in SpaceX years ago through a middleman firm in the U.S. called Tomales Bay Capital.

A petition to rename the road outside of Trump Tower to Obama Ave. is picking up steam in Chicago.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Jared Kushner ain’t waiting in line at the Knicks game with the peasants.

Daily Memo: Another Death In Detention As GEO Punishes Detainees In Hunger Strike. We are now in year two of the ICE siete.

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game. You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

Fair wages, good benefits, safe working conditions, and hours that lead to a balanced life? Yes, please and thank you! I stand with Labor. And I'm grateful for this endorsement! In solidarity!

Love is love. Happy Pride! Politicians need to get to work on actual issues.

Data centers don’t just magically appear. Texas didn’t become the data center capital by accident. They go where politicians offer billion-dollar tax breaks, cheap power, weak regulations, and a giant welcome mat. If we’re serious about fighting these projects, follow the incentives.

😡😡

Endless corruption: “A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House following a ProPublica investigation revealing a top aide to the president intervened to secure a $620 million Pentagon loan to a startup linked to his eldest son.” www.propublica.org/article/dona...

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

Don't plan to come to the US for the World Cup. Trump will deny you entry last minute and cost you thousands. Especially if he thinks your country was mean to him. www.bbc.com/news/article...

June 4: 107th anniversary of 19th Amendment. But it only gave white women voting rights. BIPOC women waited decades more: •1920: White Women •1952: Asian Women •1962: Native Women •1965: Black Women •1975: Latino Women Now the "SAVE" Act & gutting of VRA repeals those rights. The fight isn't over.

And to think the industry told me a magical HBCU story with a Black teen boy lead wasn’t “marketable”. Hmmph. 🫣 Want a signed copy? malikbooks.com/shop-1/ols/p... #booksky

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

🚨BREAKING: ICE shoots pepper balls at protesters in front of Delaney Hall ICE Prison. Newark PD currently not letting protesters & journalists bring protective gear/backpacks near Delaney Hall—leaving them unprotected against ICE. When we challenged, they said call Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social

The good news: You are still allowed to bring your middle fingers.

Spencer Pratt said he'd leave Los Angeles if he lost. He should start packing his bags.

Look at the clouds, exactly the same….they are really stupid!!!!

BREAKING: CBS News fires veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley a day after he reportedly excoriated the show’s new leadership

Fox News is so out-of-touch that it thinks being against the construction of data centers, which are wildly unpopular, is a "far-left" policy. Keep up the good work of making progressive candidates more appealing to voters, Fox.

Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland won the Democratic nomination to lead New Mexico, giving her a path to become the first Native American woman in the U.S. elected as a governor.

There was a mass shooting yesterday near my hometown in Iowa, killing six people plus the gunman, and gun shootings are so common in the U.S. that I didn’t even hear about it on social media or national news; only from my parents. It’s believed all were family members. www.abc27.com/news/update-...

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

Uh, he was literally dressed in drag in the video for this song.

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

Trump being fined *$200* for being late to report his stock trades while he made BILLIONS on his office is a perfect encapsulation of where America is at… Morally bankrupt and greedy AF!

Getting 30/30 would be impressive (if only it were true). Getting tested four times raises an entirely different set of questions.
