I haven’t seen *any* coverage of this and worry people have just become numb (or are too distracted by the World Cup, Knicks, etc.)

Gov. Jared Polis passed over other deserving inmates to give clemency to Tina Peters, according to two members of his clemency board who revealed Polis overruled the unanimous recommendation of his experts. Polis has now fired both of them.

"While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know Talking about a revolution? It sounds like a whisper Poor people gonna rise up And get their share"

Education debates are full of speeches about standards, but none address the workload that keeps pushing teachers out... #education

By now you’ve heard that the Supreme Court shot down Trump’s executive order that attempted to eliminate birthright citizenship. SCOTUS did the right thing — but the fact that the decision was so close is alarming. It makes serious court reform all the more important.

NEW EPISODE: Hillary Clinton joins me for a wide-ranging conversation on Trump's Justice Department and blatant corruption, the Supreme Court's assault on voting rights and the decades-long right-wing machine that made it all possible. youtu.be/4dS4KzU5q00?...

Corrupt lounge lizard Trump flying on his gilded Qatari jet to honor trust-busting outdoorsman Teddy Roosevelt pins the irony meter to the peg.

If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Trump's lawyers asked for E. Jean Carroll's consent to delay the $5 million awarded to her. Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, informed Trump's team that "Carroll does not consent." Kaplan says Carroll wants the immediate disbursement of the funds she has waited years to receive.

“Eat the rich” is an ideologically reprehensible statement. Proportionally, there just aren’t that many of them. They’re not a viable long-term solution to food insecurity.

ACTIVE DUTY AIR FORCE MAJOR CALLS FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF TRUMP! This speech is historical ✊

The court has spoken: Trump's attempt to get political revenge by shutting down the Hudson Tunnel project wasn't just illegal, but "flagrantly" unlawful. This ruling is good news for the thousands of workers building the project and the hundreds of thousands of commuters who will depend on it.

In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

This preposterous application should have a probability of success of less than zero

CORRECTION: After yesterday's rulings, it's now "legalized *SCOTUS-sponsored* bribery."

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else. I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

Federal law bans purging voter rolls 90 days before an election. That deadline hits August 5. Republicans in Arizona and Ohio are in court arguing it doesn't apply to them. Virginia already purged eligible voters. The Court let it happen. Check your registration. #VotingRights #VoterSuppression

He should have been made to retire a very long time ago. We must institute age limits as well as term limits for public office. The Boomer generation has clung to power to the bitter end when they should’ve stepped aside 20 years ago and let a new generation take over. We have been robbed of that.

He comes from a place and a time that is no longer connected in any way to modern American society. He is far too old to be making decisions that will impact people even yet to be born. Generational change is a proper and necessary thing. It is not ageist to say this.

NEW: In 2020, the Montana U.S. Atty cut a plea deal that let a tribal police officer who sexually abused a 6-year-old girl serve less than a year in prison + dodge the sex offender registry. That U.S. Atty is now Montana GOP Senate nominee Kurt Alme. www.huffpost.com/entry/montan...

Yesterday, for Mel Brooks' 100th birthday, 7,000 fans gathered in the main square of Bologna, Italy, to sing “Happy Birthday” to him. Mel himself replied with a video message, and then the crowd watched Young Frankenstein together. ❤️ #Filmsky 📽️

Trump’s vanity ballroom is three times more expensive than initial estimates, with taxpayers on the hook for half of it. Now, it’s been revealed that it’s being built through a $500 million no-bid contract the White House secretly awarded last year. What else is Trump hiding?

Today, the Epstein survivors launched their website. They put a lot of time and effort into putting their stories together for the general public. They deserve our support. Please check it out if you have the mental capacity, and please share widely. ❤️

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Wow.

Ever the relentless liars….

So I assume that they are now going to get all of those AMERICAN CHILDREN out of the detention centers now, right? Right?

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Congress has blocked Rep. Massie and my amendment to prevent the integration of our military with Israel. This is unconscionable. They’re not even giving us a vote on the amendment.”

It’s like these people don’t actually believe anything

Tom Kean Jr. was healthy enough to authorize stock transactions up to $190,000 during his nearly 4-month absence from the House. There’s more to this story than he’s saying.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

No commentary needed…

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

Every time I watch PBS Newshour, I’m swiftly reminded of what an actual news broadcast should be.

SCOTUS refused to hear E. Jean Carroll. So it’s official: he is a predator.

Massie Announced The Amendment On June 24th, and Finalized His Amendment Text On June 26th, via Social Media Sites.

The magic of Wegovy, which has surpassed 3M prescriptions was discovered in lizard venom in 1990. The #NIH funding behind this & most breakthroughs is <1% of the federal budget. That 1% fuels local economies w/ a 250% ROI. A non-scientist would not see value in studying the Gila monster. 🧵🧪

My own mission. If anyone implies that we won't have more elections, correct them. That wish comes straight from Trump and Putin. Americans own American elections. Trump is a conman and liar. It is not his call on our elections. "Do Not Obey in Advance" Timothy Snyder@TimothyDSnyder on X

Biden: Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Whoa. What a loser.

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

A Nobel laureate held the world's richest man Elon Musk responsible for the deaths of millions of children in a scathing takedown.
