It turns out that preventing a flesh-eating parasite from spreading across the continent was, in fact, NOT waste, fraud, and abuse. This is the problem with indiscriminate cuts. Some programs exist because they solve real problems before they become expensive crises.

🤦‍♂️

Remember when DOGE claimed programs protecting agriculture and public health were just “waste, fraud, and abuse”? Now the cattle industry is alarmed over the spread of the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that can devastate livestock and wildlife populations.

The amendment was filed late Tuesday night and added during a committee markup of the Wildfire Prevention Act rather than through a standalone hearing focused on the Roadless Rule.

Sadly this morning, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects roughly 45 million acres of national forest land.

Trump was booed during the national anthem at the Knicks game. Now, reports indicate his administration is planning a major ICE enforcement surge in New York City.

US Judge Sorokin, Boston, has invalidated Trump’s $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, ruling it an unlawful tax that violated federal administrative law & the constitution. Sorokin found that the fee amounted to a tax which only Congress has the power to levy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Knicks fans: "Trump at the Finals? Please! He barely claims NYC, now he's courtside while real fans get priced out. I was hyped for a watch party, but nope, security circus and elite access strike again! This isn't for us, it's for him." And: "I don't really think Trump should be here."

“There were other rich and powerful men, in particular billionaires, friends of Epstein’s and his orbit, who they were also trafficked to and who also abused them.” ~ Rep. Yassamin Ansari If those leads were in the Epstein files, why weren’t they followed? #SheShed

Harry Enten: "Trump is now 30 points underwater in New York. Trump's approval rating in New York with incomes under $50,000-right down there into the Hudson River! He's now 36 points underwater." You can't fool a New Yorker. They know a crook when they see one!

Not exactly confidence boosting material here. The felon and the worm guy have screwed us www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

The "No New Wars" pledge by the liar in chief during his 2024 presidential campaign, Felon47 repeatedly promised to stop ongoing conflicts & said in his November 2024 victory address, "I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars". The pathological liar strikes again! #SheShed #TrumpLies

They call themselves the Gulabi Gang. After surviving abuse, Sampat Pal Devi helped build a movement of 400,000 women in India determined to protect each other and fight back against violence. When nobody came to save them, they saved each other. #SheShed

New Hampshire! The Granite state deserves great representation in the senate! Elect Chris Pappas! Chris has been serving in the House & is ready to move over to the senate. His priorities are: ✔️Affordable/Accessible Healthcare ✔️Fight the Opioid Crisis ✔️Create a Better Economy #ResistanceUnited⬇️

Someone on Truth Social go ask Trump what “evidence” he has that he has any control over Netanyahu when it comes to the ceasefire. Then ask him if he will celebrating Obama Appreciation Day on June 14th. He will lose his sh:t.

Broadview 6 defendants: dismissing a case that should have never been brought does little to set things right. "It is scary to realize your government does not exist protect you.” The case symbolizes Trump’s efforts to recast protected dissent as criminal conduct. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“There was a thumb on the scale for the president’s version of events that I felt was a level of political influence that I had never seen in 37 years at CBS News” Scott Pelley, describing how Bari Weiss tried to make 60 Minutes lie about Renee Good for the benefit of the Trump administration

When militaries integrate command structures, weapons systems, attacks on 1 require response from both. The USA-Israel integration exports Middle East conflicts directly onto US service members without Congressional approval. Integration means obligation, & US security issues. Contact reps now!

RFK Jr is talking about building a larger pool of kids who are “fit” to fight. He claims “77% of our children can no longer qualify for military service” & warns we will “lose our country” if their bodies do not change. That is how he measures success: how many kids can pass a recruiter’s physical 🤬

Ken Paxton's own impeachment defense lawyer just endorsed Democrat James Talarico for US Senate in Texas. That is a public break with Paxton and a win for pro-democracy Texans!

Every week there’s a flood of outrage designed to keep us looking in the wrong direction. This week’s piece looks at the stories that matter most—from ICE funding to surveillance to retirement accounts—and what you can actually do about them. open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

These moves show you everything about MAGAGop. They're not on your side. At all. Work to elect blue candidates so we can begin rebuilding a more fair, just, Constitutional, people-centered democracy. #EndCitizensUnited #Project2025 Gifted: wapo.st/4uk1wOI #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy #DV1

@nycja.bsky.social explains why counting ballots in California takes SO DAMN LONG! (HINT: we want every eligible voter to vote, and for their votes to count)

When called out for destroying the Iran nuclear deal and leaving us less safe, Trump deflected to the sky: "Hear that sound? That's the sound of thunder, lightning, rain." Literal gibberish to dodge accountability for a foreign policy disaster. He wants the interview over.

Trump’s strategy for nuclear threats involves breaking things, doing nothing, and throwing a massive temper tantrum when Welker asks why he hasn't delivered. His desperate "if I were a Democrat" pity party is pathetic, but please, keep telling us how you're a master negotiator.

When you hire incompetent, corrupt, morons to lead…

TN remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Make sure all your elected officials hear from you! Follow the lead of @blountdems.org

Ken Paxton’s lawyer, Dan Cogdell just endorsed James Talarico: “Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.” Republicans are saying Cogdell is a Democrat but he gave $6,500 to Paxton’s Senate campaign about a year ago. www.texastribune.org/2026/06/08/t...
