"As the nation prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of our independence from a king, the Supreme Court & our current president are doing everything possible to resurrect a king in America." School kids know America's independence was most important yet some justices choose King Trump instead.

WASTE FRAUD and ABUSE of my tax dollars!!!! 😡

On Birthright Citizenship: “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” -Justice Ketanji Brown 💅💕

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.”

Thou shalt expand and reform the Supreme Court. Thou shalt only support candidates who promise to do so. Can I get an amen?

This is the basis for the conservative majority finding standing in today's SCOTUS opinion striking down a key campaign finance law -- that J.D. Vance is running for Senate in 2028.

In the first year of his presidency, Trump made more money than in the rest of his life combined. A total of $2.2 billion from the presidency. Meanwhile, most Americans worked hard to just break even. This is the cost of corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...

“I do think people are beginning to understand that this Court is really problematic and maybe even anti-democratic in certain ways.” @profmmurray.bsky.social joins @preetbharara.bsky.social & me to discuss this SCOTUS term on a new @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider episode: cafe.visitlink.me/NTvc44

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

The dissenting justices’ understanding and interpretation of the Constitution is worrisome. Maybe they’re being paid, threatened, or truly aren’t pro-Constitution.

Cruelty will have a lot of company with the many other defining words: grifting, ignorant, self-serving, destructive, lying, etc etc etc

I’ve signed my final budget as Governor of California – on time, balanced, and structurally sound. Not just for this year, but through June of 2028. For the next two years, California will have a $0 deficit. We’re leaving the state in good hands for the next Governor.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seems to have acceded to a court order and shut down the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database for use as a voter registration list citizenship checker. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump could not do/have done his damage, grifting, pardons, etc etc etc without rich, powerful, and easily fooled enablers.

The Supreme Court has issued the last of its opinions for this term, but the fight for free and fair elections in court continues. If you appreciate the work of Democracy Docket in tracking cases and keeping you informed, subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

As they ban trans athletes from sports to "protect women," I'd like to know how they're "protecting women" by standing behind a known rapist.

“.. He also reported earning $636 million in royalties from Celebration Coins.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

From Saturday: “Speaking with host @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social, attorney George Conway claimed, ‘I hear a longstandingly mentally ill man, a narcissistic sociopath who is cognitively declining in his elder years, becoming increasingly disinhibited.’ ... www.rawstory.com/amp/trump-un...

14th Amendment (1868): “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” It couldn't be more clear. Alarming that this ruling was so close.

This morning, the Supreme Court struck down the limits on how much a political party can spend in coordination with its federal candidates. This required it to ignore prior precedent and to adopt a strained reading of the Constitution. The fight continues... elias.law/press-releas...

Liking Mayor Pete Buttigieg 👍🏼.....

If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's that there's too much money in politics. But the Supreme Court just decided to demolish some of the last safeguards we had left - creating an even bigger role for special interest spending.

His court also destroyed #RoevWade.

Project 2025 architect, Russ Vought, doesn’t believe his department’s USAID funding cuts have killed children & adults globally. 600,000 “entirely preventable” deaths worldwide are most likely the result of Vought’s directive.

Ever the relentless liars….

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

Mitch McConnell should resign Immediately…..

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

On #TheLastWord, #DavidBlight said re dissenting justices: “…they have a racial vision of this country, they have a political & racial ideology in search of a history that’s not there. But they’re going to insist on finding one…” @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social #birthrightcitizenship

When Trump’s father Fred was born in the US to immigrants, he was automatically a citizen. If not for #birthrightcitizenship, Fred & thus Donald would not be citizens. Donald couldn’t run for president - he could never pass a civics test like naturalized citizens do + he lacks good moral character.

A big voting rights win in SCOTUS today. But, tomorrow we get an opinion in the campaign finance case (NRSC v. FEC) as well as birthright citizenship. If you appreciate the hard work of Democracy Docket and want to stay informed, subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Made with a sharpie...

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denounced SCOTUS for allowing Trump to shape the federal government through arbitrary dismissals. “Put simply, today the majority reshapes our Government,” Sotomayor wrote. https://bit.ly/3SrtZF8

Sat down with the great @hcrichardson.bsky.social today to reflect on this remarkable nation turning 250. Was a wonderful conversation. Enjoy, share, and keep working hard all 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/a-conversa...

Probably ordered it himself and used tax dollars to pay for it. Wouldn't be surprised since he's lied about funding for many other things.

Most Americans need stronger safety nets and deserve a bigger piece of the economic pie. They need protection from those who seek to exploit working people for every last penny. Some decry this view as "socialism." I call it fair.

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

First meeting with this terrible thing…..

He only knows and cares about Trumpism

The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Me to @jaketapper.bsky.social tonight: “Now that [the Carroll] litigation is final, it's henceforth and forever more accurate to say that he is an adjudicated sexual abuser, that he is an adjudicated digital rapist—that Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist.” video.snapstream.net/Play/5swQXKB...

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the Trump admin to permanently abandon its efforts to suspend funding for a $16 billion rail tunnel under the Hudson River — describing those attempts as "flagrantly" illegal.

For the GOP, the battle against mail voting is purely a matter of partisan advantage — the pool of so-called "late-received" ballots skews young, minority and Democratic. Today, the Supreme Court rejected Republicans’ scheme to disenfranchise voters. Today, democracy won. https://bit.ly/4v65laF

👏👏👏👏👏

Today's Supreme Court decision in Watson was a victory for free and fair elections. It was the latest in a string of victories we have had in court. Let's hope they continue.

Today’s decision in Slaughter will destroy the independence of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which will have a cascading effect on all federal employees, who have been free from political interference for 150 years. The spoils system is back, baby!
