The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Multiple sources tell NPR that, as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

Florida’s move on vaccine mandates will lead to avoidable illnesses and deaths.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Today’s ruling in the Abrego Garcia case is important to upholding the rule of law against a lawless president. It’s clear Trump would rather deport him to a third country without regard for his due process rights than argue the case in court — but it just doesn't work that way:

This bill that Republicans dragged through the Senate will take funding from public media which is especially crucial in rural areas, cede our leadership on the world stage, and undermine future budget agreements. This was shortsighted and it is going to hurt the American people.

The longer they wait to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, the more it seems like they're hiding something. Today @durbin.senate.gov and I sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the immediate release of the Epstein files — in line with our bipartisan, unanimously-approved amendment⬇️

Epstein is the story. Stay on it

🙂

Why, for the first time, do I not feel in a celebratory mood today?

Happy 4th of July, Batman.

Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that: -Cuts $900B from Medicaid -Kicks millions off their health care -Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans -Adds $4.2T to the deficit All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.

Congratulations, the universe sent you this dog because you have been chosen. Joy awaits. 13/10
