been thinking all morning about this graf in @micarosenberg.bsky.social and @jeffernsthausen.bsky.social's story

The President of the United States is attacking a group of kindergarteners because of the clothes they wore to school.

Thousands of people lost coverage over as little as $8 in delinquent payments. They didn't know their zero-dollar premiums had gone up and they owed money. Most now can't get coverage until 2027.

I personally want to lay a bunch of blame at the door of the fundraising apparatus that means I'm bombarded by begging texts from people who present themselves as "the person running against (GOP incumbent)" whether or not they've won the primary yet.

Courts just blocked the Trump DOJ from accessing state voter rolls for the 10th time — this time in New Hampshire. A federal judge dismissed the Justice Department effort — saying it didn't comply with a section of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 pertaining to federal election records.

This week’s firehose of news threatens to drown us all: massive corruption in the Trump administration, escalations of electronic surveillance, a particularly nasty swatting attack on Pete Buttigieg’s family & 4-year-old twins, and Timothy Snyder’s cogent analysis of “an alternative Nazi reality.”

Ossoff: "You've got the American govt controlled by Donald Trump backing a Trump family tungsten mine in Kazakhstan w/ a billion plus dollars of federal commitments at the very same time that they are cutting healthcare, defunding hospitals, & nursing homes, & doubling health insurance premiums."

First, the White House doesn't date back to July 4, 1776, idiot. It opened on November 1, 1800. Second, the tackiest man in the United States and its president should *not* be the same person. Third, nice inspiration, fascist.

when it zoomed out I gasped

Wow. Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak ordered a bond hearing w/this note: "If the Court is wrong, let another court declare that a noncitizen with no criminal history, no history of flight, & an adjudicated right to asylum may be detained indefinitely without running afoul of the Due Process Clause."

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

Two awful Supreme Court decisions • TPS • Asylum and Metering • Who is Affected: Haiti, Syria, and Beyond SCOTUS allowed Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, Syrians. SCOTUS also allowed Trump administration to refuse asylum applications at the border.

NEW: In the slush fund case in Virginia, Judge Brinkema does not buy DOJ's argument that Blanche's prior statements to Congress are sufficient to moot the case or its Article III argument, finding the case is not moot and will proceed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Supreme Court's decisions today, on TPS cancellations and blocking border asylum access, enable arbitrary, capricious denials of protection in the United States. Many vulnerable people will die as a result. No moral code can justify this.

Fed. judge holds that Trump's Federal Election EO is ultra vires and violates the separation of powers. All agencies, including importantly USPS, are enjoined from implementing the EO with respect to the Nov. 3, 2026 election. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What I’d like more explanation on is why the mainstream media no longer things it newsworthy that the richest man on the planet has been sharing clear calls for murder.

'Raise Doubts'??? C'mon, @nytimes.com How about: - 'Show Otherwise' - 'Counter His Claim' - 'Tell Different Story' - 'Prove Claim False' - 'Don't Match Claims' - 'Show Another Lie' [ok, too far.] Etc. Headline gives him 100% underserved benefit of the doubt.

The George W. Bush appointee “wrote in a highly critical opinion that ‘the dominant purpose of the challenged subpoenas is to coerce Minnesota officials into assisting the federal government with enforcing civil immigration law and to harass and retaliate against them for failing to do so.’”

On June 16, Kash Patel announced on social media that an alleged plot to mount a drone attack on Trump’s UFC fight had been “stopped cold.” Even Patel could not spin it as a left-wing plot. Those arrested came from home-grown, right-wing accelerationists.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

In ordering his immediate release on his own recognizance, U.S. District Judge James P. Hanlon explained in a 29-page order that “Mr. Sarsour has raised a ‘substantial’ First Amendment retaliation claim”: www.aclu-il.org/press-releas...

Federal prosecutors charged 15 Minnesotans with conspiring to impede law enforcement, based on their resistance to Operation Metro Surge. The feds say they participated in Signal chats as members of Direct Action Minnesota and antifa. A judge ordered the 12 arrested released from custody today.

Alright MSP, heads up. The FBI showed up at the house of a friend of mine (a vet with no criminal record) and threatened her vet benefits because she was a legal observer in January. She took no guff and immediately called the ACLU. So, be vigilant for more bullshit, and remember:

And this. morning, they are trying again.

DOJ announces list of Minnesotans who will never pay for their own drinks again

What's starting in Minneapolis today is going to be just like the Broadview 6 case. A desperate attempt at a show trial pursued by dumb, vicious prosecutors performing for an audience of one. An attempt to discourage and scare people from fighting back. It's not going to work.

Beyond grateful that we were able to secure Andrea’s release. Her ovarian cyst could have lifesaving complications if left untreated, and she was in incredible pain. Now she’ll be able to get the lifesaving medical care she should have been able to receive back in February.
