I don't think people realize that every time some politician says that a vote is illegitimate or fraudulent, they're literally slandering the people who vote by telling everyone we cheat to vote. I have NEVER cheated to vote in my entire adult life. Not for ANY politician. Be insulted. It is one.

In addition to contributing to advances in science & technology, immigrants have historically contributed more in tax revenue than they receive in public benefits. The data is out there, people. www.brookings.edu/articles/the... #Pinks

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

There are many in the fallen world of American politics who are more mendacious, more corrupt, more self-aggrandizing. But no one -- and I mean no one -- is as empty, soulless and craven as this man.

Today’s Litigation Tracker updates: -Judge strikes down $100K fee to apply for skilled foreign worker visa -Judge orders prisons to keep transgender plaintiffs housed in women’s facilities for now; Gov’t appeals -D.C. locals sue NPS over exemptions granted for UFC Cage Fights at the White House

Let me show the mess created. Midtown paralyzed, travelers are barely getting to and from penn station. Girl’s dad was stuck at Macy’s and she had to get him trying to convince NYPD that it’s her dad.

If "logic" or "facts" mattered to this guy: Calif adopted "no-excuse" mail-in ballots nearly 30 years ago. And—until Calif GOP blew itself up under Pete Wilson—the late-count ballots were seen as big *GOP* advantage. Just ask Gov. George Deukmejian. (If M.Johnson or Trump had ever heard of him.)

This is the camel's nose under the tent, a trial balloon. Right now, they are focusing on criminals to establish the norm. But the list of "undesirables" is always amorphous. "US Justice Department says it moved to strip citizenship from 17 naturalized people" www.reuters.com/world/us-jus...

Trumpists consistently undermine faith in elections because they hate universal suffrage, democracy, and the things that make America America.

Yes "we" fucking did. In a republic, every election is the collective act of the citizenry and the whole of the citizenry is then representated by those elected. Distancing yourself from the collective act is gratifying and irrelevant. Everything done by this man is done in every citizen's name.

The collective decision was just that. He now governs in every citizen's name and his actions and statements shame us all. That's what a republic is.

This is a ploy, part of a long game to discredit elections and provide fodder for steps he intends to take to try to steal or suppress election results in November.

Federal immigration policy is always changing, but the changes in recent months are quicker. Immigration advocates and lawyers in Minnesota have been working with clients to navigate what it all means.

Want some good news? Just found out the SAVE act died again in the Senate. It was close, but your pushbacks and your calling and your rage worked. They wouldn't be working overtime to silence all of us if it didn't matter. Keep fighting, keep resisting. 💪

In 2016, Leslie Stahl interviewed Trump and questioned him about his constant attacks on the press and why he did it. Trump replied: "I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you" THE. MORE. YOU. KNOW. 💫

Our ongoing national embarrassment . . .

Of course.

The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.

Don’t forget that Bongino saw the files too.

ZELENSKYY: Ukrainian attacks on St. Petersburg and Moscow region, on military and energy targets, are our response to Russian attacks on our energy sector. This is also our answer: we will not just silently die — we will respond, and we will grow stronger each day, day by day.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”

Eighteen people have died in ICE custody in the first five months of this year. ICE is on pace to pass last year’s toll, which was already the highest in two decades. So what is ICE doing about it? It is making the deaths harder to count.

Trump wants to raid taxpayer money to pay off his felon friends. This is straight-up corruption. Congress must stop it now. Take action:

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

Countdown: this Friday, the MAGA DOJ has to respond under oath to a federal court concern that DOJ slush fund lawyers committed a “fraud on the court.” I’ve never heard of senior DOJ folks ever accused of such a thing. Four days left!

I'll be fighting like hell between now and June 12 to ensure Congress doesn't cave and renew Section 702 of FISA without real reforms. Security and liberty aren't mutually exclusive, and it seems like Congress is finally starting to understand that.

Trump has ruined people going to the Garden for the Knicks. In response, Mamdani has put up screens in Bryant Park.
