I oppose the Duke Energy rate hikes. Michael Whatley has the opportunity to do the same and refuses.

One of the best things about being alive is that there are dogs. Remember, if you're having a tough time, there are dogs.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Donald spent Saturday complaining on the Internet. 6 hours, 52 posts… and when not posting he’s trying to rob us. He sued the 🇺🇸 government he commands for $10 BILLION, then settled with himself for $1.776 Billion to cut checks to cronies and 1/6 foot soldiers.”

I STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS If a detention facility can’t withstand public scrutiny, congressional oversight, and media attention, the problem isn’t the protesters. The problem is what’s happening inside. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

#Maddow Cartoon Of The Day

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

Black Farmers Sue USDA Over $127 Million in Canceled Grants More than two dozen organizations say the agency violated its due process rights when it eliminated their grants.

Netanyahu has crossed every red line of international law. HRW and the ICC have documented unlawful attacks on civilians, including white phosphorus strikes. At some point the world has to stop “expressing concern” and start issuing handcuffs

Democrats have appealed a ruling that refused to block President Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order as the administration moves to carry it out — a major escalation in one of the most consequential voting rights battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

If you agree that it’s time to do something about the corruption in the Supreme Court—let’s start by impeaching Chief Justice John Roberts. Critics said it couldn’t be done. But there’s real momentum behind this campaign. Join the effort. Send your letter to Congress here ~

At the same site where our government interned people of Japanese descent during World War II, ICE is holding people in dangerous conditions — including denying medication to people with diabetes. ICE is required by law to provide livable conditions. When they break the law, we take them to court.

Get ready with us as we pack for the AFL-CIO’s 30th constitutional convention! This is union democracy in action. The labor movement is coming together, building solidarity and strategizing for the fights ahead as we work to create a strong and secure future for every worker.

Happy Pride, California! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ As governor, I will fight for our LGBT community and make sure that everyone has the right to live and thrive as their true selves - including our transgender community, whose rights, dignity, and freedom must always be protected.

For more than a century, Allen Temple Baptist Church has been a pillar of faith, justice, and community service — bringing people together and helping shape generations of leaders. I’m inspired by a congregation that continues to serve Oakland and the Bay Area with purpose and compassion.

Our campaign is powered by real people. Vote in person or drop off your ballot at a polling location by June 2.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

Display of a Bohemian waxwing. These are largely found in the northern boreal forests of North America/Eurasia, and are social birds that form large noisy groups-sometimes in the 1000's- as they scour the landscape looking for fruit. 📹 wildsafarisaga on IG

Hello everyone. Today I've been living my best life by hanging round in a rainy graveyard in a plague village 😍

One of the greatest Kennedy Center Honors performances ever: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jason Bonham on drums, and Shane Fontayne on electric guitar. It moved Robert Plant to tears as he watched alongside Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Edited for format)

The rule of law isn't just about statutes and courts—it’s about the fundamental promise of equal protection under the law. ​

Scary stuff…

Searches for Adam Hoffman are skyrocketing as reports go viral of Ken Paxton’s office offering the admitted child molester a one-day jail sentence after serially abusing a young boy.

As Attorney General, I put criminals behind bars and took on large corporations exploiting consumers. As Governor, I helped make North Carolina the best state for business three of the past four years. Together, we will continue to fight for a better North Carolina.

Tennessee attempted to put Tony Carruthers to death on May 21. He was subjected to multiple punctures to access his veins for the lethal injection, before Tennessee's executioners declared they could not execute him.
