McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general.
I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.
Big win today. A federal judge temporarily halted the proposed Warner Bros. and Paramount merger while our lawsuit proceeds. This is a critical victory for consumers, for objective and independent journalism, and for the workers, actors, artists and fans of our country's film and tv industry.
We just won a court order stopping the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. while our lawsuit continues.
We’re going to keep fighting to keep costs down for consumers, protect jobs, and stop this illegal merger.
NEWS: Epstein survivors just gave Todd Blanche a failing grade after their meeting. "Condescending." "Gaslighting." No plan to go after anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell.
And Sen. Tillis's reaction? Somehow worse.
Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.
lan Austin, Army vet, arrested for protesting ICE, detained/shackled for hours. "We’re something I can’t respect, I went to war to fight this,” he says.
Since arrest, he’s continued protesting.
He says, "How the fuck could I not be out here?”
“My nation is under attack.”
Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo:
There were three others with him in that vehicle. Those individuals are now being pressured to sign self-deportation orders. They’re trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.
SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van.
Gift link in reply.
Todd Blanche is thwarting the court order to release the remaining Epstein files. Clearly, he is in violation and should be held in contempt. Ultimately, he should be disbarred!

BREAKING: Our grassroots campaign raised $30 million since April.
Over 780,000 individuals have donated to this movement.
We’re uniting Texans onto one team to take on this broken, corrupt political system.
Trumpstein's ICE - Outrage is growing after a man who lived in U.S. for 35 years from Mexico was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. Officials say the man was shot after he “weaponized his vehicle” and refused to follow commands. Mexico now considering legal action.
MAGA has unlocked a new level of clown behavior trying to cover up Mitch McConnell’s death for chance at a congressional seat. How long yall think they can hold out keeping this dead man plugged up to a wall? 😂

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN.
The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something.
Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.
NEWS: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace”
THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY
Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts:
Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan…
🧵
Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people.
By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s.
Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
Trumpstein - ICE - this administration's "Christian" movement arrested and detained a Nun on her way to Church... These idiots are not about "Christian" or "Family Values", they are Old white men and boys trying to bully for what they believe is some sense of power.

You know what’s a greater threat to our country? Having a president so stupid he doesn’t understand the differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.
Literally everyone saw this coming.
🚨 Turns out firing respected journalists and blowing up 60 Minutes wasn’t a winning ratings strategy after all. CBS is paying the price.
The scaffold crew that took down Trumpstein's name are going to tell their grandkids about the time they performed their job under the lights as midnight approached before a crowd giving full-throated cheers as every new level was completed just so they could take his name off a building.
Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."
Obama: Shared values that make democracy possible. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections.
In Atlanta during the FIFA World Cup match between Spain and Cape Verde, a heartwarming moment unfolded when a Spain fan noticed a Cape Verde supporter and gestured asking if he wanted to swap jerseys. The Cape Verde fan enthusiastically agreed, and the two exchanged shirts before sharing a long hug
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
My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.
If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250
These centers suck in more water and electricity than countless major cities, which's literally displacing communities and farmland and generating billions for the greedy owners!

#California is testing water conservation and #renewableenergy generation. Instead of building solar farms on new land, engineers are installing #solarpanels above irrigation canals, allowing the same space to produce electricity while helping reduce water loss. #ActOnClimate#Renewables
