The League will continue to stand with the election officials who protect our democracy & will oppose any effort to undermine the integrity, independence & public trust that free & fair elections require. Rise up. Do your part: electionheroday.org bit.ly/4aJ3f9l @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

Even Fox is warning that Trump’s Iran war is spiking oil and fanning inflation. Yet, Republicans still have the nerve to howl about prices they helped set ablaze.

ICE is still kidnapping and killing people. 4 kidnapped today in Long Beach alone... And one killed in Houston...

Unless McConnell comes out and publicly rebukes this on camera, I'm going to assume it's true.

I think Judge Dugan’s ‘bad decision’ was both sound and ethical, but applaud this decision in her case. apple.news/A4503CE-uSPG...

If the USPS establishes a precedent of declining to deliver ballots, it is claiming the right to chose which items of mail it delivers: your medications, your rent check, your car payments, your personal correspondence.

A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel. The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/doj-accide...

Damn. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Republican Party is just a criminal enterprise at this point.

Trump purchased up to $5 million in shares of Axon Enterprise just weeks before ICE issued a notice seeking a contract worth up to $220 million for equipment that experts say only Axon is positioned to provide. The White House has said there is “no conflict of interest”. 🙄

I want to examine Vance’s recent bizarro comments because in a few months he’ll be actively campaigning to be the Republican candidate for president in 2028. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/is-jd-vance-even-more-dangerous-than

Raising , or eliminating, the contribution cap seems so self-evident. Why is it set so low?

Fewer than half of Americans can afford healthcare, the lowest rate since 2021. We’re saddled with the highest healthcare costs with the worst health outcomes among other rich countries. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All? We do not have to keep living like this.

Freedom is never complete. It is never fulfilled. It is ever evolving to this day. Today is Juneteenth. There is more work to be done everyday. @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is shutting down after more than five decades, and U.S. Sen. Susan Collins had the chance to stop it. mainebeacon.com/collins-cave...

Trump was booed during the national anthem at the Knicks game. Now, reports indicate his administration is planning a major ICE enforcement surge in New York City.

Two months ago today:

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees are now warning the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032. As I've said for years, there's only one way to reverse this trend. Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-senate-should-not-confirm-this

This is a big deal. The American Diabetes Association is about as nonpartisan as it gets.

Former employees of private prison companies like GEO Group continue to score top roles in agencies like ICE and DHS. Those companies own & operate torture centers that masquerade as detention facilities. @kim.senate.gov on exposing the corruption & horrible conditions. youtu.be/IJFvNfq09Lk?...

Friends — We need to talk about what's currently going on at CBS News. “60 Minutes” — the most successful television news broadcast in U.S. history — is being dismantled before our very eyes. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-murder-of-60-minutes

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Shameful.

For the first time in United States history, a Chief Justice is facing six articles of impeachment. Rep. Steve Cohen just dropped the hammer on John Roberts for weaponizing the Court and placing Trump above the law. Read the full charges: 👇

Happy to share our first campaign ad!! Www.Harrydunnformd.com

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran. What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

Memorial Day message.

Data centres 🤮🔪

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

If Trump was intentionally trying to destroy American Democracy and eviscerate its standing in the world, what would he be doing differently?

An ad that argues private equity has too much power is taken down off the air by a private equity funded company that owns the team, the TV station that airs the team’s games, and the newspaper that covers the team. Platner couldn’t have written the script better himself.

Not only does Trump's IRS settlement hand him a $1.8B slush fund. It also bans the agency from auditing Trump and his family, allowing him to avoid nearly $100M in penalties and get away with any future tax-dodging. He is the most corrupt president in American history.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”
