To little surprise, the national preparedness level was raised to PL4 today. As of this morning, there were 10 Complex IMTs committed. Tomorrow morning's report will show more.

America defeated fascism. We don’t need its aesthetics decorating the White House.

Emily Barker was one of two women who died fighting a large forest fire in Colorado this week.

“You have to respect the president. If you don't respect the president you're going to have a problem.” —Donald Trump Also Donald Trump:

“There are tons of people here” - Dean Cain LOL

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.

You can’t convince me this law’s purpose is anything other than making sure cops know to hassle trans people. (The state has dropped the charges)

Ossoff: "Handing an out-of-control executive even more unfettered power just makes it even more vital that we restore checks and balances and constrain this president using our power as citizens as voters in these midterm elections."

If this were just Ketanji Brown Jackson walking the halls of the Capitol, meeting with “nobody” the day before final rulings, Trump and Republicans would be going ballistic.

"A 3-Day-Old Baby. An IT Student. A Missing Father. Three Stories That Show the True Cost of Trump’s War on Iran" While there is much talk of who ‘won’ and who ‘lost,’ it’s always the people who did not choose war who pay the ultimate price. Zeteo reports:

Evacuation of Beulah, CO ordered due to wildfire, dangerous heat wave, & World Cup forecasts in today's update for the All-Hazards Consortium. Small chance tropical development off Carolinas. Wildfires, heat pose serious threats, please stay weather aware & safe. 🧪🔥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFQt...

🎉 HUGE WIN FOR VOTERS: The Supreme Court said states can count ballots postmarked by Election Day. Justice Samuel Alito argued that the decision risks undermining public confidence in elections. Justice Amy Coney Barrett addressed those arguments in the majority’s opinion. https://bit.ly/4eO75PL

HELD, Trump's decision to withhold funds for the Hudson Tunnel was unlawful, and the funds are ordered released. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

To be crystal clear here -- the nun was **wearing her habit** and walking to Sunday mass when ICE arrested her and hauled her off: apnews.com/article/nun-...

Submitted and emailed.

A JetBlue pilot said that a drone hit his plane as it approached Kennedy International Airport on Monday morning, less than three days after a United Airlines flight crew encountered a drone on arrival at Newark Liberty International Airport.

While I am an optimist, I must also admit that I will be shocked and surprised if SCOTUS does right and actually protects birthright citizenship—as enshrined in our Constitution and upheld by every single Court since the Civil War. My expectation of this rouge MAGA SCOTUS is they’ll tear it down. 😐

Donald Trump's idea of "The worst of the worst". ICE arrests Catholic nun from the Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy congregation while she was on her way to Sunday Mass. South Texas lawmakers scramble to intervene with ICE to get her released: www.tpr.org/news/2026-06...

Today’s ruling means independent agencies are less independent. That should scare anyone who depends on government watchdogs to protect them from fraud, corporate abuse, unsafe products and unfair practices. The Roberts Court is helping build a presidency with fewer checks and more room for abuse.

Public schools should be places where all students feel welcome, not where children are pressured into religious instruction.

Insurance, how does it work?

“I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but frankly by Americans from coast to coast, for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it.” —Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Oh my god we **did not have a president** for the first, we date America's birthday to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, I'm losing my mind.

Is this a scene cut from The Godfather, a new Democratic Party campaign ad, or both? Today’s Republican Party no longer has any purpose other than achieving whatever Trump wants, which is mainly to make Trump richer and more powerful. The GOP is now effectively Trump’s mafia organization.

Another great one.

Sotomayor's dissent warns about this. The majority doesn't admit it now. But Slaughter may be the beginning of the end for a merit-based civil service. Do we want qualified people inspecting our food and making complex decisions about medical care, science, etc...? Or ppl who passed a loyalty test?

every Fox News live shot from Trump's fair is hilarious. I've seen more people gathered around our neighborhood Little Free Libraries

Donald Trump correctly understands that the Opus Dei court's decision in Slaughter is all about giving him dictatorial power of a type that no prior president ever had, overturning a century old Supreme Court ruling in the process.

somebody painted a subtle "8647" on a Trump state fair display and Newsmax is on it

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Not long after SCOTUS ruled to protect Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook against Trump's attempts to remove her without due process, the president all but vowed to try and fire her again talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scotus-...

1/2. The Supreme Court has ruled that the manifestly racist policy of deporting Haitians theoretically might not have been racist on another set of facts aside from the one that actually obtained in our real world. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

New: In two new cases (Slaughter and Cook), SCOTUS eliminates long-standing precedent that protected independent agencies from at-will firing by a vengeful president — BUT also creates a Federal Reserve carveout. Some baby splitting here as Court protects Fed from Trump's whims. Roberts writes both

Our independent federal regulatory agencies were created to protect the public from corporate harms. The only reason to end these protections is to give corporate America even higher profits by shifting the risks of harms to individual people. The shame of the John Roberts court.

The heatwaves are getting worse.

We’re back to the Sunday market manipulation loop, folks

Ha! Things that were better attended than Trump’s Great American State Fair this weekend include Minneapolis’ annual Cat Tour, Iran’s World Cup match in Seattle Friday night, and NYC’s Dyke March. Boom from @lebassett.bsky.social (No offense to cats 😹) open.substack.com/pub/laurabas...

Here, we have a president who, by his own account, personally called a federal prosecutor to intervene in an ongoing election — and the story has barely registered. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

That's funny... I thought the greatest threat to our country was having a kleptomaniacal octogenerian rapist as our sitting POTUS with a complicit Congress, Senate, Supreme Court, DOJ and military. Silly me. 🤷‍♂️

They spelled freedom wrong

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... “Vance resembles Trump in every way — he lies effortlessly, he’s utterly without principle, and he’s intent on gaining power — except that he’s smarter and more ruthless than Trump. Take note and beware.”

You better believe we will take back the House, we will issue subpoenas, and we will continue to fight for justice. Full stop.

In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm

The funniest thing about the Spinal Tap arch is Trump is going to 1AM post some deranged defense of it that he's been workshopping all day. "The Freedom 250 Arch on the mall is an ARTISTIC abstract representation of the actual ARCH which will be magnificent the likes of which nobody has ever seen."

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

Trump and Republicans radically raised health insurance premium costs -- doubling them on average -- and so 5 million Americans who used to have health insurance now can't afford it. More than half the people who have this kind of health insurance live in GOP districts: www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

I’ve been marching for LGBTQ+ rights since Pride was considered a protest. And I’m proud to keep marching as a celebration of hope in our state today. The LGBTQ+ community has a proud ally in the Governor’s Office 365 days a year.
