🚨SCOOP: Republican Rep. Tom Kean repeatedly voted against legislation to give Americans paid family/medical leave, before Kean took 4 months of paid medical leave from Congress for depression - all while somehow finding the time to raise himself $160,000 worth of campaign cash.

It takes an entire city to prepare for extreme weather, and that's exactly what we're doing. We've activated our Heat Emergency Plan ahead of tomorrow's heat wave, bringing every agency together to protect New Yorkers.

From Senator Sanders Insta page…. This is absurd.

Sean Duffy reporting from the world’s saddest company picnic.

Birthright citizenship is explicitly enshrined in the Constitution of the United States, making Vance's position literally and blatantly un-American

Wow. What an asshole.

House Speaker Mike Johnson abandons floor agenda and sends lawmakers home after hardline conservatives force him to scrap GOP priorities for a second straight week. https://cnn.it/4oUDB7g

This is Penny. She came up with her own trick. Really hopes you like it, and will repeat it as many times as necessary until you acknowledge that you do. 14/10 (IG: pennycorgipoo)

Tom Kean had the ability to leave work to attend to his illness because he has excellent, government funded healthcare, something he selfishly deprives other Americans of having.

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

Ask every Democrat if they support Supreme Court reform, and if they don't, you primary them or support someone who does. That's it. Without the Supreme Court, we get nothing.

BREAKING on MS NOW: Mike Johnson's latest effort to force through the SAVE America Act to rig elections just failed. The House failed to clear a procedural vote 198-224 on the NDAA largely because the SAVE Act was attached.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Heads up!

This is simply not true. Congress cannot do this without a Constitutional Amendment. No gray area here.

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Congress has blocked Rep. Massie and my amendment to prevent the integration of our military with Israel. This is unconscionable. They’re not even giving us a vote on the amendment.”

So did this change his view on medicaid work requirements or bsky.app/profile/atru...

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

Polly Cooper’s story is one of the reasons I keep saying Native history is American history. As we get closer to 250 years, I wanted to share a piece about the Oneida Nation, Valley Forge, George Washington & the truths this country struggles to face Please share open.substack.com/pub/juliefra...

NPR posted a story that said Alito is retiring and then quickly retracted it.

The only surprise here is that it was close. Fuck this court. Expand it*

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

I understand SCOTUS, know who they are, & by all rational accounts it feels so naive to say: "I can't believe 4 of 9 justices said the Constitution doesn't protect birthright citizenship." And yet, I can't believe 4 of 9 justices just said the Constitution doesn't protect birthright citizenship.

NEW: SCOTUS strikes down Convicted Felon Donald Trump's Executive Order that attempted to restrict birthright citizenship.

My toy is real….

My hockey training….

A unanimous federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to eliminate federal limits on fine particulate pollution, commonly known as soot. The court ruled 3-0 that the EPA’s rollback could not move forward, leaving the current protections in place.

Sienna 7 months ago in Thailand versus her new life now in Wales. Down but not out ❤️

Independent agencies set standards that keep us safe across a wide range of areas. Imagine Trump’s friends want to market an unsafe product - for children, for elders, in construction. And the Consumer Products Safety Commn is run by Trump cronies who will approve whatever he wants.

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.”

Today, House MAGAs obliged to their cult leader and passed the SAVE Act. Here are the receipts on the SAVE Act, how it will fully gut voting rights for Black people, women, and low income people, and why we must make sure it does not become law. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/the-save-a...

NYC is opening city grocery stores in every borough — and we need the right spaces to make it happen. If you own or know of a site in Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island, submit to the NYC Groceries Sites Portal by June 30: grocery.nyc/portal

First meeting with this terrible thing…..

Remember scientists aren’t giving up. After the Trump administration redirected Climate.gov and dismissed many of the federal employees who maintained it, former staff members launched a new independent website called Climate.us to help keep trusted climate information available to the public.

Who says America doesn't build great things anymore. (I would've painted those two-by-fours that are keeping the vinyl sheets from flapping in the wind, but I'm no expert.)

Alice hunting for the fish I’m cooking right now

“The one thing that does appear to be clear going forward is that chaos will follow.”

Between this and Justice Alito’s no-show on the bench today, I am not having a good feeling about what is in the works.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

I’m truly disturbed by this. Are people seeing people who aren’t there? Is this a mass hallucination? Psychologically, this is real time mass delusion right?

They just continue to insist that there are massive crowds showing up to this thing despite the fact that this is also the 200th anniversary of the invention of the camera.

Trump: Nobody knows more than housing in the history of the presidency. Nobody did well like me in housing. I made a lot of money with housing.

Q: What are your plans for the housing affordability bill? Trump: I don't know. It's so unimportant

Unfuckingbelievable.

Volunteers are working to restore Scotland's endangered Atlantic rainforest by collecting over 11 million rare native seeds to plant 8 million new trees. This grassroots effort involving hand-picking seeds from remote terrain showcases the power of community action in reversing biodiversity loss 🌱

Wow, look. Survivors and their families and many who know and remember true history. The true history this administration wants to erase forever, along with current atrocities.
