If you were waiting to read my essay + many others in the @liberalcurrents.com Reconstruction Papers on how to normalize the immigration system when, not if, liberals retake power, it is now un-gated. My piece begins on pg. 98. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-pdf-of-t...

This bill is the most common sense thing ever, so I’m not surprised every Republican voted no.

An iPad inside Independence Hall tells visitors that a second floor room was used in the 1850s to hold individuals “accused of crimes of the period.” The room was for holding fugitive slaves, so the "crime" was fleeing their masters. The Trump view of history. www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Today’s Litigation Tracker updates (1/2): -SCOTUS rules 6-3 that Trump can fire FTC commissioners at will, overturning 90-year-old precedent that shielded independent agency leaders from removal without cause -SCOTUS rules 5-4 to keep Fed Governor Lisa Cook in office while she challenges her removal

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac no longer require home-insurance policies to cover the full replacement cost of a roof.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS *denies* certiorari in one of the two E. Jean Carroll cases ("Carroll II," to the folks who follow closely). That presumably clears the way for Carroll to collect the $5 million judgment (the $83.3 million judgment in Carroll I remains under appeal):

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

You know what’s a greater threat to our country? Having a president so stupid he doesn’t understand the differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.

I’m grateful that I have known hunger, poverty and loneliness in my 74 years. I will always remember living on instant mashed potatoes. I added mustard for flavoring. It’s made me a better human being, more empathetic to the needs of my brothers and sisters. We’re all in this together. Fuck greed!

He tested the limits of presidential power & won. This absolutely was not the Framers’ intention. “Originalists” my ass.

There's no sugar-coating Slaughter. It's an enormously important ruling (far more important than the other three decisions #SCOTUS handed down today). It's a huge win for Trump/the executive. And it's going to have massive ramifications for the functioning of the government long after Trump is gone.

I went to the Great American State Fair this weekend…and it really was as empty as reported. **And where did the rest of our taxpayer dollars go?

Here some good news from SCOTUS for voting rights.

Story got excellent play on the front page of The NYT print today. Good to see that. Transparency matters. Here again is a free link to the online story. (also translated in Chinese online) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.6 billion, to $5.9 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

"Effectively, DOJ said that Blanche couldn’t be bothered to step away from his day job prosecuting Trump’s adversaries to comply with a law passed via unanimous consent in the Senate."

Senator Schiff explains that a Boston judge recently ruled his order letting USPS withhold mail ballots from states that won’t hand voter data to DHS is unconstitutional. Your vote is worth fighting for! Make sure you’re registered. Make sure you vote. 🗳️ #USDemocracy #Pinks

I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Don't care how you feel about the Iranian government, these athletes got done dirty. Really disgraceful.

The Stonewall Uprising was a riot for equality, love and the freedom to be who you are. We won't let today's bigots erase this pivotal moment for progress and undo everything those brave LGBTQ+ Americans fought for.

We wanted to amplify this because it’s genuinely sad that this isn’t how America’s 250th birthday is unfolding. America’s 250th birthday should have been about bringing people together through our shared culture, history, music, art, and traditions.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?
