“.. The analysts, a husband and wife, told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and Justice Department policies, the people said, adding that the couple was escorted out of their office ..” @ms.now www.ms.now/news/fbi-kas...

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

The best way to honor the passing of Lindsey Graham would be to make a donation to @drannieandrews.com for Semate. drannieandrews.com

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Incredible news. Illinois Governor Pritzker has signed a law removing testosterone HRT from the PDMP program, a program other states can use to access people's prescription records across state lines. It will protect trans people in IL from places like TX. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NEW: For the first time since 1995, the Bureau of Land Management is rewriting its grazing regulations. The new rule, which governs ranching across 155 million acres of public lands in the West, would heavily favor the livestock industry.

"'equities can actually do quite well in a lawless world, especially if they [have] real assets, pricing power or the right connections',.... On that basis it also looks smart to buy options that reward you if a stock unexpectedly soars if it is embraced by the political elite."

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

The idea of the Supreme Court dissenters that citizenship is a “privilege” that only some deserve rather than a basic right for everyone born in the U.S. is in accord with the view that suffrage is a also privilege rather than a universal right. In both cases, they think universality demeans them.

This ruling opens the floodgates for virtually unlimited money to pour into Alaska. Alaskans should be choosing their representatives – not millionaires, billionaires, or DC special interests – and our fight to get big money out of politics just became that much more important.

Thomas Knapp - aka "chemiclord" - aims to be the first Dem elected to the Walker MI City Commission. Come meet him in the "Running in the Red" series at Balloon-Juice.com balloon-juice.com/2026/06/30/r...

This should have been 9-0 in favor of the plain text of the 14th Amendment. I expected it to be 7-2, figuring that Alito and Thomas were lost causes. But to have it come down 5-4 on the 14th Amendment argument--to have both Kavanaugh *and* Gorsuch go the other way...man, that's bleak.

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

The Constitution remains the law of the land by a vote of 5-4. I’m seriously shook how utterly lawless these justices are.

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

Every Fox News live shot today from Trump's post-rapture-like fair on the National Mall has been hilarious. Here's a supercut:

In 2006, there were 55 total measles cases in the United States. This year, there are already 84 cases in PA, and more than 2,000 across the country.   Vaccines work. Please talk to your healthcare provider about you and your family getting them. whyy.org/articles/pen...

A friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding at the Great American State Fair bc he knows no one is there.

Something about all this is that every position should not just be a march to the white house. Healthy parties need institutions in the house, senate, and state level.

Kim Jong Un thinks this is a bit much

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

The fact that stephen miller is saying the US is closed to asylum seekers from Haiti while granting asylum to white South Africans should tell you all you need to know.

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

I just left court in the second stretch of my fight against Trump's weaponization of DOJ. We know the process is the punishment, but I will not stop fighting for all of us. This is about how we hold ICE accountable and no one can intimidate me out of standing up for New Jersey.

I’m walking into court to fight for your rights. Trump wants to lock me up for 17 years for doing my job, conducting oversight of ICE and holding this administration accountable. The fight is hard, but if DHS wants to terrorize NJ-10, they’re going to have to answer to me first.

NEW: Missouri’s governor says “out-of-state special interests” are influencing citizen-led efforts to amend the state constitution. His own ballot measure, a push to eliminate the state income tax, has received $1.9M from a mysterious Delaware nonprofit.

An astonishing expose of the secret directives Tulsi Gabbard received throughout her political career. They appear to have come from the leader of the cult to which she belonged.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

Part of how we love our country is telling the truth about our story. America's story is one of extraordinary progress and painful injustice. We dishonor both when we pretend only one is true.

The Trump administration is withdrawing all HIV aid from South Africa, which has the highest HIV rate in the world, because they won't end reparation programs for victims of apartheid and their descendants
