! That’s “closeed,” I presume.

The purpose of the National Mall and its monuments is, in effect, loitering. You’re supposed to hang out and enjoy it. Maybe even learn something, if you want. One more thing ruined.

Oh come on. This is ridiculous.

Trump says he’s nominating Lance Schroyer as permanent director for ICE, a man who appears to have no previous leadership or immigration experience. He is apparently a long-time Oklahoma State Trooper and former Marine. If confirmed, he would be the first Senate-confirmed ICE Director since 2017.

This is amazing

👏👏👏👏

Horrid. What is wrong with people?

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

How’s that “deal” going?

Just the Speaker of the House pledging that if you vote Republican he will continue to make sure all the corruption and criminality happening in the Trump admin will be covered up by him and his do-nothing committee chairs. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Which Bible?

"And we in the Republican Party are committed to helping President Trump finish destroying them."

What? I looked down for a second and Norway got a goal??

Vive la France!

Note he points out that the ship is “expensive.” That’s all that matters to him in this.

I just saw that @emilymandel.bsky.social has a new novel coming out on 9/15 and yes I did just put the date on my calendar!

“The Reflecting Pool is a metaphor so perfect, it feels almost valedictory, as though symbolism as a whole gave up and decided to sign off. On its way out, it killed a duck.” @petridishes.bsky.social is a delightful writer. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

a giraffe disappears and tom kean jr shows up and we’re supposed to pretend these are two separate stories. wake up sheeple

NOTUS: The U.S. military will reinstate the flu vaccine requirement – just months after Pete Hegseth called having the choice a matter of “simple medical autonomy.”

NEW: Judge Emmet Sullivan (Clinton/DC) finds acting AG Todd Blanche 'conceded' violating Epstein Files Transparency Act. Acting on suit by @katiephang.bsky.social, judge gives Blanche a week to remove redactions or explain why he can't. w/@kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

It is the highest indictment of the Republican party that Stephen Miller-a fully racist, xenophobic man with a heart filled with hatred-has risen to such a vitally impactful position in the Trump administration

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...

In another installment in this govt’s full-on embrace of white supremacy. I do not want one dollar of taxpayers’ money going to support this. An absolute disgrace. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

He is equating “the deep state” with the law and those who uphold and respect it. This is the opposite of the right lesson, FFS. (Also, I wasn’t aware they traced “the deep state” back that far. I presume they’re eventually going to walk it back to the Civil War?)

Come on

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

What

The Supreme Court's fourth and final decision is Mullin v. Doe. By a 6–3 vote, the conservatives hold that federal law prohibits judicial review of non-constitutional objections to TPS terminations, and the constitutional claims here fail. The liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

we are not a serious country.

Tsunami alert issued for Venezuela, Curacao and surrounding islands after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake west of Caracas.

I wasn’t aware he knew that

Today was the hottest day ever recorded in France, breaking the record set just yesterday.

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.

This is all so ridiculous

BREAKING in Kennedy Center case: Trump's latest request for a stay DENIED. Now we will be able to move to discovery & get to the bottom of his corrupt, failed attempt to seize this national treasure. The court also put admin on a timeline regarding the tarp. They will need to explain themselves.

BREAKING — Judge in Coe vs. Blanche provisionally certifies plaintiffs as a class and grants temporary restraining order against DOJ accessing private medical records of trans youth treated at NYU Langone

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...

I hope this letter is released soon; I think the world would love to read it. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly

Once again, I’m wondering where the Constitution is in all this.

🚨BREAKING: Maryland Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to state voter data. A big victory for our clients Maryland/DC Alliance for Retired Americans and democracy. DOJ is now 0-9 in these cases. We are undefeated.🗳️💪⚖️ www.democracydocket.com/cases/maryla...

At Buckingham Palace so my daughter could see the changing of the guard. At the conclusion, the band played “He Had It Coming” as part of a Chicago medley, and I have never loved British humour more.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Oh. So Tulsi Gabbard wrote a report showing that voting machine vulnerabilities didn’t flip any votes. And now she’s not the DNI anymore. Hmm. www.reuters.com/world/white-...

OK that’s enough for me today
