Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

Congrats to the NY Knicks on their first NBA title in 53 years. I’ll just point out the only game Knicks lost was the one Trump attended. Because everything Trump touches dies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There’s a rainbow outside the Kennedy Center right now as a crowd awaits Trump’s name to be pulled off the arts venue

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

Cowardly

Oh look -- the Secretary of Energy is lying

SCOTUS just cleared an Alabama redistricting map that just 3 years ago a federal court ruled was illegal racial gerrymandering. Even after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, judges still said this map was unconstitutional.   But SCOTUS is allowing it for this election. Corrupt.

The League and other plaintiffs are seeking a court order for the DOJ to destroy its copies of the Alaska voter registration list that were shared, to void the MOU, and prevent the transmission of any further unredacted voter roll information to the DOJ.

7. Montana's court put it simply: if a cis woman's birth certificate says "M" by mistake, she can fix it. If a trans woman's says "M," she can't. Both want the same document. One gets it; the other doesn't. The only difference is sex assigned at birth. That is a law that by definition hinges on sex.

Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.

Earlier this month in Georgia two pieces of transphobic legislation — HB54, a bill completing a ban in trans youth care and SB74, a draconian book ban — both went down in defeat. This is a real victory, so a 🧵 from @transnews.network, with some more on how it happened, and some lessons...

After passing the largest cuts to health care in American history—all to fund billionaire tax breaks & give ICE more money than most militaries—Trump now wants Congress to defund dozens of programs that help families so that he can send other people’s kids to fight a foreign war.

these are exactly the stakes! embracing trump’s view would be embracing the cramped vision of freedom and belonging that we fought a civil war to banish to the ash heap of history

(WSJ) - The Pentagon is looking at sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East to give President Trump more military options even as he weighs peace talks with Tehran, Department of Defense officials with knowledge of the planning said. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

“…The Treasury said in a statement to Reuters that the first $100 bills with Trump's signature and ​that of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed ​by other bills in subsequent months.”

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up.
