Make no mistake—this has nothing to do with securing elections. It’s all part of Trump and Republicans’ very obvious scheme to restrict access to the ballot box and rig elections. NO president has the constitutional authority to unilaterally control elections. The fight isn’t over.

At least seven people have been charged in connection with vandalism of Trump's vanity projects, but when extensive records implicate powerful people in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation, this DOJ looks away. That contrast says everything about the Trump Administraton's priorities.

War isn't free. Every missile, every deployment, every minute of conflict gets added to the national debt. That means higher costs for everything at home—healthcare, roads, schools—because we're paying interest instead of investing in people. We deserve a say. Call your reps. #ProudBlue #Pinks

Josh Shapiro's success opposing Trumpism in a purple state provides a vital model Like some other D leaders, Shapiro's supporting a slate of congressional candidates; but his slate is in swing districts key to Ds' chances of retaking the House-just as Pennsylvania is key to retaking the White House

NEWS --> Gov Josh Shapiro confirms to me that Pennsylvania won't join Trump 250 gala. “This president routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal—it shouldn’t be that way,” Shapiro tells me, noting that PA businesses didn't want to participate. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2123...

Everyone with a job has contributed. Social Security isn’t a handout; it’s an earned benefit. Every paycheck we’ve ever received had money taken out so the system would be there when we need it.

Holy hell. Kilmeade threw Vance under the bus. “This is his (Vance) deal. It’s not the president’s deal. And it’s his deal and Witkoff and Kushner together. I just hope they didn’t let the president down. Because the president is putting a lot of stock in them. He can’t do everything himself.”

Trump staffing cuts left Social Security at near 50‑year lows, with closed offices and endless waits. Republicans underfund the agency and then call it “dysfunctional” to justify more cuts. That’s sabotage. Fund SSA and protect every earned benefit. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets in Albania in what started as a protest against a luxury resort project linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and evolved into a sweeping anti-government rally. Read more from Ines de la Cuetara:

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only as long as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

CPI inflation hit 4.2% and wholesale inflation hit 6.5% in May — the highest levels in three years. Do not forget this is the result of the reckless and deadly decision-making of one man: Donald Trump. We are paying the price for his warmongering.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

Talarico: It looks a lot more like professional wrestling, right? You've got these old guys lathered up in their fake tan, throwing cheesy nicknames at each other. And those nicknames, they don't lower the cost of groceries.

Exactly!!

So Trump says the US is looting Venezuela: "We’ve taken millions and millions of barrels of oil out of Venezuela. We brought them to Houston and various other places" Now he want to loot Iran? And Congress is allowing this? And if we're stealing all this oil, why are gas prices so high?

Trump called the Epstein files a hoax. Meanwhile, his White House held Situation Room meetings over what might come out. JD Vance was in the room. Blanche was in the room. Put them under oath. On camera. Now.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.
