Donald Trump is bragging about how much he and his family are making from insider deals It's illegal, he and his family should be in jail Every single person in the USA is paying for this corruption, this money does not just appear out of thin air but is stolen from the USA

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

@jeffsharlet.bsky.social how about an update on The Family in this second term? Cause it feels like he just raided all the "small groups" taking all the young, inexperienced, (white) yes-men he possibly could to fill up positions.

I don’t know the story of this painting but not only is it obviously what it is but note they chose a depiction in which Lee appears to *receive* the supplication—the surrender—of Grant.

Earlier this week, Intelligencer ran a piece called "ICE Won." We definitely don't agree with the title, but its gist—that the normalization of federal police violence is accelerating—is proving accurate. ICE arrests roughly doubled in Chicagoland in June over May. Some more thoughts on that:

The same company that managed logistics for Trump's January 6 rally is now overseeing his Great American State Fair after being awarded $68 million in taxpayer funds.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social ) #BribeForceOne

"Donald Trump has been adjudicated, finally and forever, as a man who sexually abused E. Jean Carroll and then lied about it for years. And he’s about to have to pay for it."

Here is what Democracy Docket is tracking today: Total Active Cases: 196 Active Voting Rights Cases: 155 Active Redistricting Cases: 41 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 77 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 74 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 28 www.democracydocket.com

Mississippi police shot and killed a 1-year-old child who was in the car with his mother. Autopsy reports reveal the child was shot through the side of the car, contradicting officers' claims that the car was heading towards them.

So you are saying that these parents invented a fake teenager to be mad at? And that you think that should influence policy?

The nerve of the US government to do this shit, they sent letters to Canadian and Mexican steel and aluminum producers asking them to move production to the US, this is insanity and foreign interference. www.supplychaindive.com/news/us-offe...

Democratic socialists are still partying in New York City… 🎉 Wait — *checks notes* — sorry this is Colorado. Apologies! We got confused since we were told this only happens in NYC 😬 @melatkirosco.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DaO9NqR...

Trump-endorsed Montana Senate nominee Kurt Alme allowed a police officer who sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl to serve less than a year in prison and avoid being registered as a sex offender.

ICE has arrested a nun and registered nurse while she was walking to attend Mass.

That three justices dissented on the birthright citizenship ruling shows how extreme and lawless the conservatives are.

"America’s extreme right wing is by far the country’s big problem, and it’s hard to address that problem when powerful elites insist that the trouble is with “both sides.”" newrepublic.com/article/2125...

First, the White House doesn't date back to July 4, 1776, idiot. It opened on November 1, 1800. Second, the tackiest man in the United States and its president should *not* be the same person. Third, nice inspiration, fascist.

Love it ^^If you know original artist, please let me know so I can tag and credit them

this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!

🚨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/...

Best argument ever.

“When did Fox become a tabloid? Are you even a real news organization?” Amazing

So "Promise to America" is led by Lauren Boebert's 2022 Democratic challenger's college student son?

TEXAS EVANGELICALS: "You MUST follow our religion!" THE REST OF US: "You first."

So Trump, using taxpayer cash, overpaid a Bribery-accused ex-con pal by 1000% via a no-bid contract with kickbacks, that guy ruined the Reflecting Pool, Trump then drove on the Pool out of laziness and further destroyed it, and now they're arresting civilians to cover their asses

Trump claims farm bankruptcies rose to the highest level ever during Biden's last year in office. (Under Trump, farm bankruptcies are 46% higher compared to Biden)

Admiral (ret.) William H. McRaven: "In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation." {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

NEW: Mamdani’s rent freeze APPROVED. Tell me again how he’ll “never get anything done.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/n...

Blade Runner was released 44 years ago today.

My guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ is #D4VD defense will be “Celeste showed up hysterical, and stabbed herself, and I panicked, and I knew the cops wouldn’t believe me, and, and, and” #femicide #JusticeForCeleste #CelesteRivasHernandez

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum forced Trump to loosen the rules for Park Police to allow them to pursue vehicles. Months later, an innocent bystander was killed during a Park Police car chase.

Anyway, these are from the Progressive Party platform of *checks watch* 1912: - Strict limits on campaign contributions - A national living wage - Abolish prison labor - Affordable living costs - National health service - End monopolies - Tax the rich www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/pr...

All he got was probation? Yet again an example of the judicial system rigged to support corrupt and violent "law enforcement" officers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In this era of unprecedented corruption, it is essential that we keep our terminology precise.

Frankly I don't see the current crop of Dems dropping any hammers if the recent past is anything to go by. bsky.app/profile/idio...

This is FANTASTIC news!!! #sicklecell #HealthcareEquality

Just today: Trump threatened CA elections. RNC filed a voter suppression lawsuit. Ohio is on the verge of a new anti-voting law. Stay informed. Support pro-democracy independent Democracy Docket by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

@murray.senate.gov Senator Murray, please work to stop this. It's endangering our world. maritime-executive.com/article/trum...

Republican states’ desire to kill the planet should not outweigh California’s right to self-governance

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

Wait...what's his job again?

Since flagrant corruption is apparently no longer a crime worth prosecuting; where/when does it end? #DOJ #AmericanCorruption
