“‘I’m so happy about the news,’ Dong said in Mandarin, choking up with tears in her eyes. ‘It was really tough after everything that happened. We thought our life savings and our hope were all gone.’”

While the Senate is asking Trump why they started a war to kidnap a foreign leader perhaps they might also ask why Trump freed a former foreign leader convicted of the same kind of crimes.

Plausible pathway (from a month ago)

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

What a motherfucking psychopath. #Venezuela

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him. Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...

Pelosi retiring. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 A legendary and historic leader. Here’s my favorite clip of her, saying she’s gonna punch out Trump. #NancyPelosi

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Thrilled for our friends in the great state of New York 🗽

I love that Mamdani’s ad features a short conversation with a bodega cat. Every vote matters.

he’s not wrong, unfortunately.

“You’re no Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo. I KNEW Mario Cuomo!” A thing Curtis Sliwa just said to Andrew Cuomo’s face.🤣🤣🤣 #NYCMayoralDebate

if only the left put the same energy into registering voters as they do into whining about #EzraKlein.

listening to Hanselman on @oxide.computer's podcast and always kinda figured he was a bit of a curmudgeon—and I have affection for curmudgeons usually—but jeez lol.

The press’s double standard for MAGA is maddening. THEY SOLD ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ MERCH!!! Profiting off bloodlust that alligators might eat brown people. Good on Warren for being incredulous.

“founder mode” = publicly glazing dear leader

Mr. Rogers successfully defending The Corporation for Public Broadcasting from a threatened $20 million budget cut (67% of their funding) in 1969.

It was abundantly clear that the people working at the ICE facility in Baltimore have been instructed to hide the inhumane treatment of the people in their custody.

“Blow on the embers, the fires in your own heart and conscience that need to be stirred,” Grant said in an interview with CT right before sound check at the concert. “Engage, come on, come on, engage!” Grant has described PEPFAR as a “pro-life” program 👇🏽

“Hi, Senator Hagerty, hi, this is Amy Grant,” she said. “I’m standing on stage singing to over a thousand people … We want you to know that here in Nashville we want to see full funding of PEPFAR so we can stay on track to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030.” www.christianitytoday.com/2025/06/amy-...

“Beyond its political donations, GEO Group has also lined Trump’s pockets by spending at Trump businesses. In 2017, the company broke tradition & held its conference at Trump Doral rather than its own headquarters, & its Vice President had stayed at Trump’s DC Hotel at least 10 times by June 2019.”

Luis Florencio Fernandez, a beloved server at NYC's century-old Square Diner for 7 yrs, was suddenly torn from his community of 35 yrs & sent to an #ICE detention center. His heartbroken family, coworkers, & customers—who knew him as part of their daily lives—are fighting for his return.

Diego Luna, guest hosting for Jimmy Kimmel, shares how he found community in the U.S., the amazing things #immigrants bring to America, and how unfair it is that they are living in fear.

"the biggest load that we've seen"

In June, a Philadelphia man impersonating #ICE robbed a store & tied up a female employee, getting away with $1,000 in cash. In April in Indiantown, FL, a man was caught threatening to deport 2 Latino men; he was arrested & charged w/impersonating an ICE agent. prospect.org/justice/2025...

“… Don’t let them intimidate you into thinking that you’re doing something wrong by telling people what their actual, legal constitutional rights are. There’s nothing wrong about it, and there’s nothing illegal about it. And if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.” THIS IS THE WAY

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Businesses should start itemizing the Trump tariff costs on their receipts.

“Japanese Americans in San Jose, CA, one of three Japantowns remaining in the United States, say the deportations are a painful reminder of the WWII hysteria that inspired the mass incarceration of their community.”

boom times for people who worked to undermine the civil rights laws calling me because they've been fired and want to use the laws they've worked to undermine

“The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it”: exactly. You and I might pay dearly for what meager public institutions remain, through tariffs — but the wealthy, as long as they remained in the party’s good graces, would shirk their tax obligations with impunity.
