And yet insurance companies are making them harder and harder to get!

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

This IS extra corrupt. The fund is gone but not the immunity from tax charges?

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

I would love to see Trump having to get his name taken down. This is / was always a travesty

A concert that I can be proud of!

DHS will require every green card applicant to leave the country before applying, even if they qualify for a green card or leaving would disqualify them. The agency has already cut green card approvals in half over the past year. Remember: it was never about legal immigration.

Being anti-Trump is not good enough. Democrats need a progressive agenda.... 👏

Speaker Johnson sent the House home until June because we were about to vote to rein in Trump & end his war in Iran. Republicans knew they'd lose, but they'd rather bow to Trump and continue this unauthorized war than help families here at home. The people deserve better.

Random reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

A beautiful moment in this obit:

He's right. We have to speak out. What Trump is doing is wrong and corrupt and I am not okay with it

Agree. This is disgusting. Trump does not have the moral fiber to be president

I agree, but I think they are the minority, so the majority needs to stand up and stop them

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

BREAKING: The DOJ is now 146 days overdue in releasing the Epstein files.

This must not be ignored. We need to fight back against the racism of the Trump administration

Pearl Harbor is hallowed ground. It is absolutely disgusting that anyone, let alone our FBI director, would desecrate the site for a snorkeling tour. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

Shrunk by ownership and management, the WaPo news room at least still effectively covers their own city.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

Trump gutted the National Science Foundation’s workforce. Tried to cut its budget in half—twice. Now he's fired NSF’s board without any explanation. This is Trump's anti-science, anti-innovation agenda at work. We demand answers, now.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Sad thing is, I expect most Americans to not know about this.

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Justice Elena Kagan Isn't Mincing Words, About The Voting Rights Act........

EXCLUSIVE: When ICE arrested a Connecticut high school student last week, it was trying to rearrest his father — a former interpreter for U.S. forces in Afghanistan who spent three months in ICE custody last year. My latest at @ctinsider.bsky.social — www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/... #nutmegsky

Lrp I am once again humbly recommending everyone to read these two novels.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump’s immigration thugs detained the wife of a newlywed soldier who was training to deploy in the next few months. ICE detentions and deaths are still at record highs. Even though it’s not in the headlines, ICE is still carrying out Trump’s campaign of cruelty. Never forget this.

"The White House calls a lid —meaning no public appearances or activities are expected from the president for the rest of the day." — 11:00am, per today’s pool reporter, Hugo Lowell This can't be good.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Despicable

No. It is the Republicans who are so embarrassing

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Killing civilians because they aren't the same religion as you is genocide. I don't care who you are or what you believe

The world is looking at us with great unease.

Just going to leave this here... Just in case someone tries to tell us something different.

Thune has the votes to override a veto if he needed to so that TSA, etc., could be funded. The GOP too cowardly to do it.

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

I appreciate that my home state is doing this

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation said it chose to honor Twin Cities residents “for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members from an unprecedented federal law enforcement operation."
