Last night, President Trump went on a conspiratorial rant trotting out the same old lies about voting to make excuses for his 2020 election loss. But being a sore loser changes nothing about reality or election law. What matters is that voting rights keep winning in court.

Not the first animal to get gayer when the temperature goes up.

Oh man: the White House teleprompter operator has been betting on Trump's speeches on Kalshi. abcnews.com/US/white-hou...

A lot of coincidences these days.

Thank god there are no gender studies classes anymore otherwise we might be able to figure out what's going on here.

I’m not a lawyer, but is it good when an opinion has an entire section titled ”Other Mischaracterizations.”

CREW and @publiccitizen.bsky.social will be on Instagram live at 5pm debriefing the corrupt events of last weekend around America's 250th anniversary. Join us! www.instagram.com/citizensfore...

Nice that all of them got exactly 20 minutes.

He just didn't want to miss Catherine Tate in OH, MARY!

Looking at the Egyptian team respectfully.

Trump is bragging about letting crypto execs off the hook just days after we learned that he made $1.4 billion from crypto and memecoins last year, while the people who bought his memecoin lost $3.8 billion

NEW: As acting attorney general and deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche has repeatedly elevated the president’s interests over the DOJ’s and the American people’s. Every senator should reject his nomination. We just sent them a letter saying so.

Crazy warehouse fire in my hometown this weekend (that football field was where my high school graduation was). www.wvnews.com/news/wvnews/...

Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.

Gonna rent out Metro Center for my wedding.

Found an important new research database. www.reddit.com/r/SVU/s/ut8R...

JUST POSTED: A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last year came as hundreds of thousands of his fans bet on a #$TRUMP memecoin. Trump won big. His followers, financially at least, were big losers as Trump profited at their expense. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

It’s so strange how Polis has decided defending an election denier is the best way to end his Governorship. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

NEW: Trump is turning America's 250th anniversary into self-enrichment instead of celebrating those who have advanced our democracy. Now it's up to us to hold power accountable and fight for a democracy that will endure another 250 years, CREW President @donaldonethics.bsky.social writes.

Guest entry ends at 6, but his speech doesn't start until 9:45 and fireworks are at 10:30 or 11. It's a hundred degrees. You can't bring lawn chairs or your own food and drink. Can't believe they're worried. www.cnn.com/2026/07/01/p...

Donald Trump made more money last year than ever before in his life. That's thanks to his failure to separate himself from his business (which is expanding abroad), cryptocurrency schemes and literally selling access to the presidency.

A beautiful day in our nation's capital

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

That's right.

NEW: The Supreme Court ruled today that limits on political parties' coordinated spending violate the First Amendment—giving wealthy donors more influence over our democracy. This decision further prioritizes special interests ahead of the American people.

Ahead of its 250th birthday, I make the case that the greatest work of American art ever produced is made of garbage and was assembled at the behest of God by a Black man working the night shift as a janitor in DC johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/americas-g...

Just remembered this from another bad Roberts Court campaign finance decision.

"It is general knowledge in our practice that for $2 million, you can have a pardon." theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is actually the 11th loss for DOJ, out of 11 tries. Another GOP judge. 5 Trump appointees. DOJ has racked up 3 more losses in just the last week!

"there's cake in the kitchen!"

Everything is just so tacky now. www.hcn.org/articles/peo...

The TL;DR, as always, is this: SCOTUS will allow Donald Trump to wreck separation of powers and the rule of law, but they draw the line at wrecking capitalism.

Humphrey's Executor is dead and the president can fire anyone in the executive branch at will but NOT Federal Reserve governors is really a parody of the difference between the money power and everything else in America

Catching up on this weekend's event and shocked to learn Scott Wiener is ~56~ years old.

Big news for me, personally.

What’s remarkable about all this stuff is the stolen valor. You didn’t build shit, you won a birth lottery. You are a podcaster not Emperor Vespasian. bsky.app/profile/just...

NEW: President Trump reportedly played an outsized role in awarding contracts to his associates for renovations to the Reflecting Pool and Lafayette Park—potentially violating federal laws. We filed a complaint asking the Interior Department OIG to investigate.

Sam Alito: It is the worst kind of discrimination to create majority-minority congressional districts and so we are going to kill the Voting Rights Act. Also Sam Alito: There is nothing we can do if the president cancels legal status because he thinks the United States is a white country.

Alito, wearing an 'I hate immigrants' t-shirt: "It's not prejudicial, it's a policy objection"

I saw Maddie's Secret last night and as a longtime John Early and Kate Berlant fan, it's so refreshing to see a movie that's so original and funny with some truly thrilling moments. Recommend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjfX...

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...
