Students with disabilities are students first. For 50 years, the Dept of Education has been tasked with ensuring students with disabilities have the opportunity to learn & grow. The Trump admin's decision to move that responsibility to HHS & DOJ will only hurt these students. It's shameful.

One year post One Big Beautiful Bill passage, 800,000 kids have lost SNAP benefits. Nothing says "pro-family" quite like taking food away from children.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social ) #BribeForceOne

“All Pay the Chief.” Editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich’s take on what was once unthinkable and is now common practice.

This shit is BEGGING for a walker photoshop.

🎯 No Labels was a cesspool of dark money. Completely unsurprising to find Susie Lee on this list.

Donald Trump could have signed an affordable housing bill this week. Instead he had a tantrum and torpedoed it because he’s obsessed with suppressing the vote.

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.

This is probably one of the most interesting @thedailyshow.com interviews I've ever seen. There's a ton of information left unsaid, and halfway through, Jon adopts a personal mission to crack their impartial, professional shields. youtu.be/xdmdGTrJ2nI?...

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions. Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company. Unprecedented corruption.

This is unprecedented. A company owned by the President's family, is seeking approvals from a federal agency over which the President has total control — including to hire & fire the people granting approvals. The company, the deal, the entire process is corrupt to the core.

Donald Trump is spending more than $300 million in taxpayer dollars on his luxury ballroom. He said Americans wouldn't pay "one dime." He's a LIAR. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

#HealingHearts I never thought about it from this angle before but it's validating. To talk about what happened during abuse or traumatic events is so very uncomfortable and I would never choose this. Believe survivors. #CSASurvivor #Pinks #ProudBlue 💛💚💜

trump will NEVER beat President Obama. He is smarter. He is classier. He is better in every way. trump's deal will NOT measure up.

Focus: 👇

Make no mistake: in California, our democracy is working as it should. But our President is doing everything in his power to make you doubt that with constant lies. His baseless, anti-democratic rhetoric has no place in our electoral process.

Glad to see this bill introduced. Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social!

NEW EPISODE: As California counts its votes, Trump and his allies are calling it rigged, weaponizing the DOJ and laying the groundwork to reject results they don't like in 2026. I explain what they are up to and why we need to fight back. youtu.be/2LQeLY3Ltpg?...

NEW: Donald Trump Jr. invests in a co. trying to build an oil refinery in the U.S. Then the richest man in Asia invests... in the same company. Then... his co. gets policy concessions from the Trump Admin. @josh-kaplan.bsky.social & @justinelliott.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

Their bravery changed the course of history and reminds us that democracy is never guaranteed—it must be protected and passed on to future generations. Today, we remember those who gave everything in the fight for freedom. May we be worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸 (2/2)

On this D-Day anniversary, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and extraordinary service of the troops who landed on the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and democracy. (1/2)

the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

Meanwhile, in Europe: "As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war against the 3rd Reich and entitles this comic book nobody to lecture the actual heroes.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I cant get passed his chief of staff pleading guilty to corruption. Hes not even governor and its already a tainted administration. My mexican friends are even telling people just cuz hes a minority dosent mean jackshit. Corruption is corruption and becerra knew exactly what was happening

Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a plain-as-day violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause: "The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]." Art II, S.1, cl. 7.

The Roberts Court plays Calvinball on standing. Keep your eye on this different case, based direct harms to plaintiffs from Florida giving President Trump emoluments in the form of land gifts: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

for them, the whole point is keeping white people in control - the "white solidarity" that Elon Musk says America needs to survive

Heads-up Louisiana. We need all hands on deck. The redistricting vote has apparently been moved to tomorrow, 5/12, instead of Wednesday, because they found out a protest was planned. So they want to sneak it through. Please share. And be there. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #Louisiana #FairMaps

The Tulsa massacre in 1921 destroyed the prosperous Black community of Greenwood.

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.

ICYMI, there's a scam to use $2B of your tax dollars to buy out offshore wind leases and push companies to redirect their investments to oil and gas. It's illegal and outrageous on every level, and Jamie Raskin and I are all over it. heatmap.news/energy/huffm...

It is unconscionable, but of the character of this administration to use a potential tragedy to fuel the effort to create a grand and unnecessary ballroom to throw lavish and gaudy Mar-a-Lago-style parties. Here's what I have to say to Trump: consider taking care of Americans first for once.

In the midst of an affordability crisis, when Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and gas prices are soaring thanks to an unnecessary war of choice. Republicans want to spend $1 BILLION of your tax dollars on a ballroom for the President. It’s tone deaf and a gross misuse of funds.

The Trump admin is plotting a massive water grab in Northern CA. My message to them and anyone else involved is: you need to come clean. And if that’s a problem, it’s going to be a bigger problem at this time next year.

(4/4) Any other company that wants to try and pull this kind of scam should be ready for the same fate.

(3/4) We’re going to get every document, every email, every last receipt on this deal – and every person who had a hand in this is going to answer for it.

(2/4) The Republican-led Congress might not have a spine or shred of respect for the American people, but we sure as hell do, and we won’t let this happen without a fight. Rep. Raskin and I are opening an investigation into TotalEnergies’ backdoor deal with the Trump admin to kill offshore wind.

(1/4) If TotalEnergies thinks they can get away with taking a billion dollars from American taxpayers, they’re in for a rude awakening. The administration is flat-out lying to the public and trying to stop anyone who stands in their way.

Two days ago they were supposedly “begging for a deal” again for the 29th time in 9 weeks.
