I love how Flavor Flav has become the hype man for women’s sports. ⏰ This piece from @forbes.com captures what @flavorflav.bsky.social and his manager @audrhi.bsky.social are up to with SHE Weekend. ⛹️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏌️‍♀️🚴‍♀️ They are doing good things in the world. 🌎 We need more of that.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

FLAG: The Postmaster General confirmed at a Senate hearing that under a new proposed rule, the Postal Service would not deliver mail-in ballots in states that decline to hand over sensitive data about voters to the federal government. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Talarico: Dan Patrick has spent decades selling out the sick and the poor and the vulnerable, all to enrich his donors. And now he's accusing me of blasphemy. Love sometimes feels blasphemous when you worship power.

Ken Paxton let a pedophile back on our streets. Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—should have gotten life in prison, but Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.

We're all focusing on the statewide and congressional primaries in Colorado this year, but there is A LOT happening — and a lot of money being spent — on the statehouse front: coloradosun.com/2026/06/18/d... #copolitics #coleg

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Please keep running with this line. It will destroy the Democrats, sir.

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.

Tina Peters went to prison for compromising election equipment and now she's branding herself a "champion of election integrity." She's learned nothing — and I’m fighting to make sure she never sees a taxpayer-funded payout.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

Remember to thank Donald Trump for those higher grocery bills.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Barack Obama meeting James Talarico’s family

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

Our media is controlled by just a handful of billionaires and their corporations. And Trump is making things even worse. Here's how we stop it.

Man pleads guilty in Colorado firebombing attack on pro-Israel demonstrators

James Talarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

Epstein survivors will have a public forum midday on Capitol Hill led by Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA)… after not being permitted an audience with King Charles tomorrow

Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable.

Free speech absolutism.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

A group of parents and advocates are heading to Capitol Hill this week in a renewed push for online safety legislation, hoping to build on the momentum of court wins against social media companies last month.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

D.C. and 33 states now have to argue in favor of specific remedies and fines, which could be paused if Live Nation appeals. Experts say the long-term impact on ticket prices isn't clear either. n.pr/4vxt3xM

When a group of people all work together toward a common goal, nothing is impossible. Artemis II is a perfect example of that. Last week they proved again that America’s diversity is our strength.

A lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence platform alleges a state consumer-protection law passed in 2024 violates the company’s constitutional rights.
