Oh, this is good...

Days before the 4th of July, Jack Smith reminds us what patriotism looks like and pays tribute to civil servants. 🇺🇸 “I love being a prosecutor & love the people who do this work. There are still a lot of people there (DOJ) who want to do the right thing and not be part of a retribution campaign.”

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: "There is no way I'm going to be intimidated." Former special counsel Jack Smith tells @nicollewallace.bsky.social why it's important for him to speak out.

Jeanine Box-o-Wine Pirro right now doing a press conference to justify why her office has indicted three-time U.S. Olympian, David Hearn, for destruction of federal property. Per Pirro: Hearn “ripped a piece of recently installed sealant on the bottom of the Refecting Pool...He damaged the pool!!!"

It’s time for politicians to stop whispering about court reform and start saying it out loud. That includes expansion. THIS 👇🏽 Sen Markey: "The Republicans stole two Supreme Court seats in 2016 and 2020. That's what's giving them their supermajority.”

Two people in a Volkswagen Beetle died after the massive battery-powered truck struck them at a highway intersection in Nevada, not far from the factory that builds it.

What an incredible World Cup by the DR Congo team, who overcame a devastating Ebola outbreak and war, and brought unity and hope to so many through dark times. Fimbu!

Mitch McConnell is going to die soon. Happy Birthday, America.

Your Wednesday trivia.

The critical thing to understand about this air conditioning debate is that fossil fuel companies should be held accountable for destroying the planet.

It's almost as if... scientists were right about C͟l͟i͟m͟a͟t͟e͟ C͟h͟a͟n͟g͟e͟...

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

146 Venezuelans were deported from Texas to Caracas on June 24. Hours later, while the deportees were in a guarded hotel, powerful twin earthquakes struck. n.pr/4p0y0fY

Somewhere between 1976 and 2026, Trump took “We the People” and rebranded it as “me, myself and I.”

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court holds that federal Election Day statutes do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterwards A huge victory for our clients and the Elias Law Group team. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good news that SCOTUS preserved mail ballot grace periods but very disturbing that 4 justices led by Alito amplified Trump's conspiracies about mail voting, including debunked claims of "voter fraud" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS overrules a 91-year old case (Humphrey's Executor v. US) & expands unitary executive theory to allow Trump to summarily fire members of the FTC because he feels like it. The majority held Humphrey's violates the separation of powers between the 3 branches of government.

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on…

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.

We’ll never get into another country

Just another look at my family, my community, my people in South Deerfield Massachusetts! I didn’t know them until this chaos but we came together in resistance. I love these folks ❤️

The timing is interesting — judge orders Epstein files released, and suddenly a high-ranking DOJ official personally jumps in overnight. Nothing says "nothing to see here" quite like sending your top guns to bury the documents.

Oh hello, Stanley. It's been a while.

Challenge accepted! We’re counting down the days until we drag every last one of you into congressional and impeachment hearings. 🇺🇸

One thing Republicans will always try to do is separate parents from their kids.

Another day of heavy news almost buried something wonderful. A rare billionaire driven by a simple mission: doing good because it feels good.

i bet vance was eating when the atlantic published this

I speak to Haitians, both in Haiti and the U.S. on nearly a daily basis. SCOTUS decision repealing TPS for Haitians is heartless and so misinformed. Things have never been worse there, violence and starvation. So,so depressing.

Thanks for posting this, Jewelz! We can all follow them here on Bluesky! @climate.us 🙏

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan just granted my Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ordering Todd Blanche to produce TO THE PUBLIC, on or before July 2nd, specific UNREDACTED Epstein Files documents or show cause as to why they should not be produced. Details to come! www.courtlistener.com/docket/73246...

Yep. The fat friend Trump was talking about on Ozempic is himself. People keep saying he only has X amount of time left, but he isn’t living by normal rules. He’s a billionaire and the president. He gets healthcare and treatments the rest of us will never see. And here it is.

Please speak up. Record your objection. This is crucially important.

Here's the link to combat the new government rules:

Every so often, you have to stop what you’re doing, sit down, meditate for a couple of minutes, maybe have a sip of cool water, then refocus your attention — free of all other distractions — on the reality that this dumb motherfucker is somehow the President of the United States.

First, a tarp to hide his name was scrubbed from the Kennedy Center. Now a fence around the Reflecting Pool to hide that he literally lost a war against pond scum.

Trump installs fence: Reflecting Pool finally secure from dangerous threat of being seen.
