Graham Platner shouldn't be a United States Senator -- and neither should Susan Collins -- and I really really hope there's a way for both of those things to be true.

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas dissent. How tf is this not unanimous

It’s important to keep today’s birthright citizenship decision in context. First, SCOTUS left the status of a fundamental, explicitly articulated constitutional right uncertain for over a year all to affirm what was clear from the issuance of Trump’s EO. Birthright citizenship cannot be abridged.

JUST IN: The Supreme Court *upholds* birthright citizenship as a right under the Fourteenth Amendment. Justice Roberts writes the 6-3 decision, with only Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissenting.

Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST TRUMP'S ORDER LIMIT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender girls from school sports. This is a devastating ruling for trans students across the country who simply want the freedom to play with their friends.

The Supreme Court's second opinion is NRSC v. FEC. By a 6–3 vote, the court guts another campaign finance statute and overturns a 2001 precedent that upheld restrictions on political parties' coordinated expenditures with candidates. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, holds that federal coordinated party expenditure campaign-finance limits violate the First Amendment. Kavanaugh has the opinion for the court. Kagan has the dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

After bold pledge, EPA shelves microplastics testing in U.S. drinking water

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

All right, let's get this over with, America

thomas simply couldn't join the opinion, this corrupt, misanthropic bigot had to throw in his two cents and put his bigotry into the record

The Supreme Court's first decisions are the trans athlete cases. By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that Title IX and the equal protection clause do NOT stop states from excluding trans women and girls from female sports teams. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

NEW: In 2020, the Montana U.S. Atty cut a plea deal that let a tribal police officer who sexually abused a 6-year-old girl serve less than a year in prison + dodge the sex offender registry. That U.S. Atty is now Montana GOP Senate nominee Kurt Alme. www.huffpost.com/entry/montan...

Chief Justice Roberts just announced from the bench that *tomorrow* (Tuesday) will be the last day for opinion hand-downs this term. So we'll get birthright citizenship, the two transgender discrimination cases, and the big campaign finance case in some order at 10 ET tomorrow.

Sotomayor: "The Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once-coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws."

Reminder that Trump issued an executive order to boost production of glyphosate, a chemical in weedkiller linked to cancer. His DOJ also defended chemical manufacturers in the Supreme Court case that was ruled on today, which helps shield them from liability claims. “Make America Healthy Again.”

As the U.S. prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, former national park rangers are hosting teach-ins and sharing history that the Trump administration has sought to erase from federal land.

Homan: "We had a record, historic year with deportations. But now we've got 10,000 more agents on board. Wait until next year."

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...

"As soon as the Administration bought the warehouses, local communities began to rebel, including in conservative areas..." Yep. And they changed history by doing so. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

In what a scientist called "a crippling loss of information," the Trump administration is dismantling a network of ocean sensors, including those off Oregon and Washington's coast. The network helps scientists monitor everything from ocean circulation and climate change to ecosystems and weather.

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Morris Day and The Time responds: "Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair.'"

Stephen Miller, the nation’s chief xenophobe, posted this ignorant, hateful nonsense about James Talarico. Trans hate is central to the Trump regime’s agenda. It’s their go-to move in every setting now. But it should still be shocking to us that a senior WH official trafficks in such slop.

🦫 OREGON: Democrats have the votes to draw out Rep. Cliff Bentz’s (R) seat, in theory. But the Oregon state legislature allows the minority party to effectively shut down any proceeding by running away. They would need a supermajority to get past that hurdle, and that seems unlikely.

I got inside the "Great Israel Real Estate Event" at Park East Synagogue on Tuesday evening. Everyone's talking about what happened outside. Here's what I saw inside: ads for illegal settlements and defiant scorn for international law via @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/05/05/z...

Pope Leo’s message to Trump ain’t subtle. He just appointed a former undocumented immigrant as the new Bishop of W Virginia. Same day, he named a Howard University chaplain as auxiliary bishop, who’s been clear: Trump’s attacks on DEI are a dangerous “regression” in the fight for racial equality.

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended

OHSU has kicked off formal negotiations with the National Institutes of Health on the future of the Oregon National Primate Research Center.

The cut to SSI for families who also rely on SNAP was not the Social Security Administration’s idea, even though that agency runs the SSI program. Instead, it was initiated by top White House and DOGE officials last year, ProPublica has learned.

Checking in about my oversight at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. Here’s what we saw: Oversight is working and forcing accountability. It is painfully clear that access to justice in this country is not guaranteed. And as we’ve always known: DETAINING CHILDREN IS IMMORAL. Full stop.

This entire thing is ridiculous.

A former North Carolina police officer was arrested in Florida after law enforcement authorities determined that he had planned to travel to a large festival in New Orleans to carry out a mass shooting and “commit suicide by cop,” officials said.

Body camera video released Monday shows a St. Louis police officer shoot a 17-year-old in the back of the head as he fled, contradicting an earlier police statement that the teen pointed a gun at officers.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing. (Published Feb.)

The president does not - and never will - have the power to regulate elections. This is about control. He knows his wars and harmful economic policies are unpopular, so he's now trying to control elections. And we're fighting back. #orpol
