I sent out an SOS call to Save Ocean Sensors—and succeeded!

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

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan has GRANTED Katie Phang's preliminary injunction concluding she has standing, has been harmed, and will likely succeed on the merits of her case demanding the full release of the Epstein files. Blanche has until 7/2 to respond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Congratulations to Katie Phang on winning the preliminary injunction motion to further the release of the Epstein files. Love her!

PRIORITIES. 🙄

Just moments ago the President was supposed to sign a bipartisan housing bill here in the capital. Except, in a bizarre chapter, he didn’t and is a no show—because he says he’s mad at the Senate. Here’s what’s happening ⬇️👀

Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov led the entire Democratic caucus to oppose the President's attempt to hijack USPS. The Postal Service has one mission: to deliver mail to millions of Americans reliably and affordably — not to act as an election administration agency.

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

Tell lawmakers you deserve the right to control your own voice and likeness 💪 Take two minutes to support the NO FAKES Act. #nofakes Make your voice heard here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

BIG: The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years!! Now it’s headed to the House for a vote—let’s get this done!

Had a great book & magazine giveaway this weekend to spark, reading & discussion in our community. @e-linn-indivisible.bsky.social

We used to have presidents who exhibited character, honesty, integrity, kindness, and empathy. Those are all things that I think all of us long for once again. We were reminded today by Barack Obama that we can have that.

I just watched the replay of The Obama Presidential Center Dedication Ceremony on C-Span. This was exactly what my heart needed💙 I have not felt hope & joy like this for the longest time. Michelle's speech was so powerful, and Barack's reminded me what integrity, intelligence & conscience look like.

Talarico: Ken Paxton let a pedophile back onto our streets. Adam Hoffman should have served 25 years to life in prison, but instead served less than 29 days. And that's because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein style sweetheart deal. 

On Juneteenth 1865, enslaved Black people in Texas learned that they were free. Today we have the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. This gives me hope... #juneteenth❤️🖤💚

“The finding comes as ICE is eliminating its requirement to report deaths that occur within 30 days of people being released from its custody, and as the Trump administration continues to detain large numbers of migrants." Abolish ICE. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer dollars on his birthday UFC fight on the White House lawn, as families face soaring prices at the gas pump and in the grocery store. Totally wrong—I’m working to reverse his families lose, billionaires win vision.

How did you spend your day? @e-linn-indivisible.bsky.social #RegisteringVoters #DonateBooks #NoKings #FlagDay

🌈A double rainbow just appeared in the sky at The Kennedy Center…talk about symbolism!!!🌈 #KennedyCenter

"A match official who was set to be the first Somalian to referee at the World Cup finals has been dropped after he was denied entry to the US.." Why isn't FIFA demanding this decision be reversed? That's a rhetorical question. We all know why.

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...

BREAKING NEWS: A court just overturned Trump’s unlawful $100k tax on H-1B visas, which created costly barriers for Oregon employers, weakened the economy, and disrupted essential services in healthcare and education.

A new USPS rule created to carry out Trump’s plans to restrict mail-in voting is an “unconstitutional attack,” the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) said. Congress created the USPS as an independent entity from the White House, the union says. https://bit.ly/4v0an9x

Was this an illegal attempt by DOGE to weaponize Social Security to carry out Trump’s cruel immigration agenda? I'm fighting back.

Trump’s DOGE team wanted to declare 2.7 million living people dead, report says www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

House GOP pushes to make Trump’s ‘Department of War’ name change permanent www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Todd Blanche finally got the permanent nomination for AG. He covered up the Epstein files, led Trump’s bogus charges against his political enemies, & went along with his $1.8B slush fund. He should be fired not hired. My colleagues in the Senate must reject his nomination.

BREAKING: The Senate just passed a bill to add an additional $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol’s already giant budget without any reforms. The House must hold the line and refuse to give ICE a blank check to violate our rights.
