"One of the Declaration’s grievances was that George III had 'obstructed the Administration of Justice.' So much of the second Trump administration is summed up in that short phrase." And wrapping themselves in the flag does nothing to undo it.

So he’s just gonna burn down DC? Watch it be like 840,000 sparklers and 10,000 bottle rockets.

Donald Trump doesn't want you to read this A criminal president saw opportunity in the celebration of America's 250th birthday -- a distraction from the only story that matters: his family's more than $2 billion grift, cashing in on the presidency My July 4 column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

WOW. Todd Blanche IGNORES the court order to produce certain Epstein files or explain redactions, and INSTEAD claims it needs more time, and should be able to do it UNDER SEAL. We saw this deflection coming a mile away. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Central Oregon Irrigation District has rights to more than half of the Deschutes River. Only 1 of every 4 gallons was consumed by crops, our analysis found, while the rest leaked, ran off or evaporated. With @opb.org

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Wow. Wasn't expecting that from the 5th Circuit.

Very important questioning of OMB’s / Project 2025’s Vought. Thank you, Congressman Pocan. Video: buff.ly/GqPJOgs

Trump: "Almost anything my kids do -- if they buy a truck -- they have inside information"

JACK SMITH: "We did this case the way I've done cases throughout my career. You prove what happened, you prove the intent, and you're thoughtful about what the defense is going to be. And we did that (in the Trump case)."

Bigot and antisemite Mike Collins, under federal investigation for illegal misuse of tax dollars and only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, is scared to debate. He'll have to defend health care cuts, tariffs, war. He'll have to keep pretending Trump won 2020!

Last year, Trump and Republicans celebrated the nation's birthday by cutting healthcare for over 8 million Americans. Republicans are making life HARDER for the working class, not easier.

An eight-month expedition will set off soon from Norway on a mission to find new species before the climate crisis and pollution changes the northern ocean forever

The United States government has highly funded armed hit squads roaming the streets and most people are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"As it speeds away, [at least] one of the agents fires a shot at the vehicle." www.wgal.com/article/pa-h...

ICE agents shoot off their guns wildly in the streets at a fleeing vehicle after they fail to fully block in a car in Philly while attempting and failing to make an arrest yesterday. They are totally incompetent and reckless.

this will be a big story: the mythological "censorship industrial complex" was partly based on this case

“.. The next day, Trump posted that it was a ‘GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!’ before announcing a partial tariff retreat that helped send the S&P 500 up roughly 9.5% in one of its best days on record.” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2026/07/02/t...

NEW evidence shows executives from 3 egg companies plotted to raise your prices. Price fixing is ILLEGAL. But Trump’s Justice Department is giving them a mere slap on the wrist. How small? The largest egg company only has to cough up 0.001% of its profit last year. Shameful.

The fair’s main contractor was also behind the ellipse event just prior to the January 6th attacks, and has raked in $39 million in federal contracts since 2025 👇

Canada is aiming to announce around 10 founding nations for a global defence bank at next week's NATO summit in Turkey, the lead Canadian negotiator told Reuters on Thursday.

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from requesting or receiving patient information about those who have received gender-affirming medical care as minors at Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford). The is the second order blocking these grand jury subpoenas: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-trans-...

Just one day before he announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariffs, Trump's investment accounts made stock purchases worth as much as $12.8 million. Then when Trump announced the pause, the S&P soared nearly 10% — one of the biggest single-day gains in the index’s history. Unusual indeed.

Among working class voters, Platner is behind by 37-58 in the NYT poll and by 41-56 in the Fox poll. And here's a key finding from NYT polling: Of all the Dems in the red state Senate races, Platner is the only one running behind generic support for the party: newrepublic.com/article/2126...

Stephen Miller's reaction to the Supreme Court ruling upholding birthright citizenship was draconian at best.

"The United States, according to some of the officials, went so far as to ask other countries in the region to warn Iran about the possibility Israel could target the two officials." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

🚨 The number of ICE activity reports we’re receiving is overwhelming. Communities across the country are reporting enforcement at a rapid pace, and we’re working to verify and share as much information as possible.

Very disturbing report but also very illustrative. I keep hearing people say that with the revocation of special protected status for hundreds of thousands of people we're likely to see surges like we saw last year in Chicago, LA and Minneapolis. But this suggests ... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

ProPublica and @startribune.com interviewed 20 people who said they were sexually abused, almost all as children, in OALC communities, along with parents of victims as young as 3. Many of the victims said church leaders pressured them to keep quiet.

"Coalitions that are expanding their power will, by definition, include people who have changed their mind. Granting people the space to shift their political behavior without shame is all the more important under authoritarianism."

We would recommend getting an ICE whistle and staying connected to local alert networks as we continue to receive reports of raging enforcement activity affecting neighborhoods. Please do what you can to protect your loved ones and your community! ✊💚

Did you know wolves are born with blue eyes and as they age malanin develops in their eyes and the color gradually transitions to a golden-yellow.

Yet 0 arrests over the Epstein Scandal. Weird. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Trump is pocketing BILLIONS while everyday Americans foot the bill His enablers in Congress will get shown the door in November More on this with below

⚠️ An election denier who has attacked mail-in ballots and voting machines could become Colorado’s top election official. James Wiley, who ran unopposed in the Republican primary, will face Democrat Amanda Gonzalez, who has spent her career protecting elections. https://bit.ly/4p1dmMA

A federal judge in Washington just blocked the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out changes to its delivery of mail-in ballots — writing that recent policies directed by Trump ran afoul of legal terms the agency accepted more than four years ago to ensure timely delivery of mail ballots.

Trump is holding bipartisan legislation hostage to try and force the Senate to pass the SAVE Act.

“That’s the White House’s message to Americans who are struggling in their daily lives and looking up at this guy and his family swimming like Scrooge McDuck in a sea of corruption and greed that is quite literally unprecedented in American history,” says Chris Hayes.

Iowa has been reliably red for years. So why is Democrat Rob Sand leading the governor's race? @eggerdc.bsky.social went to Iowa to find out. lnk.thebulwark.com/4eI3Zhu

Just fyi, someone being near you w/ an anti-racist shirt is not harm. You aren’t oppressed bc you felt discomfort at being called out on your pro-gcide position. You + your 17 + 20 yr-old sons were not in danger, @mayimbialik.bsky.social Kids in Gaza are being murdered and our tax $$ pays for it.

Many of the babies’ autopsy reports were clear: Vitamin K deficiency was the immediate cause of death, or contributed to it. The reports also included details about parents refusing the vitamin K shot, a long-standard injection, for their newborns. (Published May)

Tragic news: Kelly Davis, a wonderful journalist who published a lot of important reporting on San Diego and on the horrid jail conditions there, has passed away. I was really lucky to briefly be Kelly's colleague at @theappeal.org many years ago, and to work with her on a story at @boltsmag.org.

Yet Melania still walked away with $10.7 million. How? Turns out you don’t need an audience when Amazon just writes you a check regardless. The documentary could have been two hours of static and she still would have cashed a $28 million production deal.
