On the front page of the NYT this morning, “Trump cut a billion dollar mining deal. His sons stand to profit.”

“Anywhere else in the USA, people would be prosecuted for child abuse. In the state of Texas, our Governor licenses these places (detention centers) and allows for children to be incarcerated with their parents. It is inhumane. It is morally corrupt.”

Since we’re apparently doing this: At 27, Barack Obama was starting Harvard Law after years as a community organizer. At 27, Donald Trump was sued by the DOJ for racial discrimination in housing. One was expanding civil rights; the other was violating them. We know who history will admire.

Republicans in Congress handed out over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% — and they slashed over $1 trillion from health care and food assistance. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in one law in American history.

“DOJ released a controversial memo authorizing states to send Americans with disabilities to institutions, nursing homes, psych wards., segregated schools, rather than fund community based services that allow them to remain at home. This would undo decades of community integration reform.”

A team of former employees and scientists from NOAA created a new site called Climate.us

Do we burn it all down? Or do we retrofit? Do we build parallel systems right now that will overtake the broken ones in time? We don't wait until it's all burned down, we start building out what we need now.

Hopes of finding survivors were dimming in Venezuela. Then rescuers pulled a father and son from the rubble.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

Last week alone, Susan Collins voted to advance four more Trump judges who will serve lifetime appointments on the federal bench. When I'm in the Senate, that number will be zero.

A growing number of Americans are realizing that Graham Platner holds sincere beliefs & speaks truth to power in the possibilities that lay before us. Establishment politicians and corporate purse-string holders know it and are worried. They will pull every dirty trick in the book to hold him down.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to Pennsylvania voter records. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. Another defeat for DOJ. DOJ is now 0-10. 👀 ELG remains undefeated! 🗳️⚖️💪 www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s INSANE that we are simultaneously hosting the World Cup and bombing one of the nations playing in said World Cup.

This is exactly what we need.

Inside a women’s prison, a domestic violence victim began collecting others’ stories of abuse. 156 women answered her call. Together, they became “survivor sisters” — and helped shape a new law offering them a path toward freedom. But would it work? Listen to the full episode:

The Supreme Court has become an institution that serves corporate power instead of the Constitution. If Democrats can’t figure out how to hold it accountable, working people don’t stand a chance.

I might be warming up to this whole swimming thing if I can secure Westley's mechanical fishy. 🎣 I let out 5 tiny Airedale announcements. Next thing I know, the neighbors are outside 👀 The fishy has since been placed in witness protection until the household regains its composure #dogsofbluesky

Ossoff: "Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money. Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease. Our task is not just to contain his wickedness, but to cure the rot that gave rise to it."

Let’s debate then, Senator. And let’s do them town hall style. Refusing to hold a single town hall in almost 3 decades because you cannot defend your own record is disqualifying as Maine’s United States Senator.

Immigrants and advocates in Springfield, Ohio, had cautiously hoped that when the Supreme Court decided whether to allow the expiration of Haitians’ TPS, they would celebrate outside City Hall. Instead, on Thursday, they grieved. For @motherjones.com : www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I agree with Susan Collins that campaigns should be about the issues, our records, and our vision for Maine’s future. The issue is Senator Collins’ record of funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband’s lobbying firm. My vision is to make that illegal.

not sure I can take the right wing of the left party saying stuff I’ve been posting for 15 years just because they suddenly lost a few and are like oh huh I guess those are elections?

Jared and Ivanka's vision includes up to 10,000 “units of villas,” priced far beyond what most Albanians can afford, to be built in an area where many locals lack access to 24-7 running water.

Susan Collins really doesn’t like the “Collins Rule”…

I absolutely love this one.

This DOJ memo would turn back the clock on decades of law. @crampell.bsky.social's latest "Receipts" looks at an authorization that went out last week allowing states to institutionalize more people with disabilities, taking away their autonomy.

We live in the worst of corrupt times. Video: buff.ly/uK0R6n2

SCOTUS made one thing plain this week: It is an anti-immigrant court. There were hints before—big ones, to be honest. But in three rulings this week, the justices voted to green-light Trump administration policies against immigrants that both defy federal law and carry a massive humanitarian toll.

Eliza, 21, planned to study computer science. But after her parents were abducted by ICE, she dropped out of college in order to take over the family’s landscaping business. “She used to be a lot more talkative,” she says about her youngest sister. “I feel like we’re all quiet now.”

The postmaster general told Congress that the Postal Service will decline to deliver mail-in ballots in states that have refused to provide voter data to the federal government. Maine is among 30 states that have refused. https://bit.ly/4eSK0eS

Today, I laid out my anti-corruption plan right outside of Susan Collins’s office: 🇺🇸Ban Billionaires & Corporations Buying Elections 💰Pass the "Collins Rule" (no funneling taxpayer $$$ to your spouse) 📊Ban Congressional Stock Trading 🪖Root Out Pentagon Corruption & Waste

This ruling is a cruel blow to hundreds of thousands of people who came to the US seeking safety after fleeing violence, war, and instability in their home countries, and who built their lives here under protections granted by our own laws. These are our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and relatives.

Thank you for your question and concern Bel. Our focus remains building SNF in the United States. Any international growth will be led by local partners who share our commitment to accountability, transparency, and community standards.

“For the past year, the Trump administration has not only decided that it knows better than these families and their doctors what their medical needs are, but has also sought to obtain troves of sensitive information about patients in New York.”

Public records show the FBI used software from the Israeli firm Cellebrite to secretly extract data from the phones of at least a dozen protesters.
