Acting AG Todd Blanche says securing safety for everyone is his job. But obviously that safety doesn't extend to immigrants driving to work.

Scarborough to Spineless Speaker Johnson: “I’m not gonna mock you, Mike, I’m just gonna call you a liar. Because that’s what you are. You know EXACTLY what happened in Maine.” #AbolishICE

I was really hoping that we could have the joy 🥲 f the World Cup without the Trump of it all.

Doug Burgum followed the MAGA talking points today, claiming the reflecting pool had clearly been vandalized with boxcutters/blades and that 7 people had been arrested. He left out that no one was arrested for cutting anything and despite 24/7 video cams there’s no evidence so far of that. #WordGame

Is this what we want? Proud of this on our 250th? Disgusting. It is beyond time to TAKE OUT THE TRASH.

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

Happy Fourth of July, New York City

I’m just gonna say it’s been fun watching some folks get their knickers in a knot because it’s been such a joyful summer in NYC. Everybody stay cool and help each other out please. Much love!

Today’s Parade of Sail on the Hudson River was stunning. I’m so proud to be the Mayor of New York City — our nation’s first capital — and to be celebrating America’s 250th anniversary on its historic shores.

I woke up thinking about the Cape Verde team inspiring us to BELIEVE, and the incredible scenes of joy and sportsmanship at the World Cup! And about the Scots bringing THE party to Boston. ALL of what we’re witnessing is a repudiation of hate and despair. It’s a reminder to LOVE and HOPE!

Thank you, Cape Verde, we will never forget!! What an absolutely stunning run!! You are EPIC. #WorldCup

Jack Smith on MS NOW: "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."   "I think the state attorney generals have a tremendous role to play here … And I would also say that I think a thing that all of us can do is support election workers and election officials."

Pls take a moment to

Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that firm

MacFarlane: What's alleged here by Democrats on the House natural resources committee, Pamela, is that there was a hostile takeover by Freedom 250 of the congressionally approved America 250. Freedom 250 is Trump aligned.

Trump hijacked America's 250th birthday celebrations. Freedom 250 diverted donations funneled $100M+ taxpayer dollars to his cronies & sold presidential access. Corruption masquerading as patriotism. Trump's grifting again. #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

You know why it's easier to love the US soccer teams than it is the US a lot of the time? It's because those teams look like us. They're kids of immigrants, they're from all sorts of backgrounds, and they all come together to play scrappy against the world. They're the best of us.

The “pro-America” crowd loves cheering on a team of immigrants and dual citizens while trying to deport their families. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This is America 👇 #USWorldCupTeam ✊

Damn. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

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.

What an incredible World Cup by the DR Congo team, who overcame a devastating Ebola outbreak and war, and brought unity and hope to so many through dark times. Fimbu!

This is like a movie about Harry Kane

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on Kushner & Ivanka: “Now Albania's anti-corruption police are getting involved… do you think Jared Kushner would get special island-buying privileges if he weren't the President's son-in-law? And isn't he supposed to be doing diplomacy, not shady land deals?”

🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to Pennsylvania voter records. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. Another defeat for DOJ. DOJ is now 0-10. 👀 ELG remains undefeated! 🗳️⚖️💪 www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Ossoff has mastered the art of narrative.

A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by Katie Phang. Read the details here: joycevance.substack.com/p/finally-a-...

“It was the most harebrained operation I’d seen in my 38 years with the U.S. government,” one career diplomat said about the second Trump administration's wholesale slashing of foreign aid. “Who knows how much damage was done.” (Published Dec. 2025)

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

Donahue is Hegseth’s superior in every possible way. The purges of the military and national intelligence are making us far less safe.

Vandalism has indeed occurred in DC. By the person who ordered the paving over the Rose Garden, demolished the East Wing, tore up the South Lawn, and turned the Reflecting Pool into green sludge.

Maybe we should rename it the Deflecting Pool.
