It's so awkward when awful people you deeply dislike say something you 100% agree with.

Airbus is putting its data beyond America's reach. They will run on Scaleway, a French provider, instead. A US law lets American authorities request data held by US firms, including data stored in servers outside the country. Europe is slowly trying to lean less on American technology.

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

When the federal government fails us—or worse–turns against us, we have to come together to support each other and get through it as we fight back. Now is one of those moments. gofund.me/53c8523d9

Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend! Independence Day celebrations took us through Lincolnwood, Glenview, Skokie, Evanston, and Crystal Lake, and every stop was a beautiful reminder of why this work matters.

Happy Fourth of July!

There is nothing radical about telling the truth about our history—and trying to make things right. That's the work Evanston began, and we won't let that progress be dismantled.

China is eating our lunch in almost everything. (no sound needed) China builds solar parks over reservoirs. This design improves the efficiency of the panels by keeping them cooler and lowers water loss from evaporation

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

In Evanston, we have put in years of thoughtful work to address a legacy of discrimination. We going to fight for our city in court and stop Trump from rolling back the clock.

Evanston came together in a beautiful way this Juneteenth. Today, we walked 2.5 miles to symbolize the two and a half years between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the moment of freedom, which was finally enforced in Texas on June 19, 1865.

You made have seen the news that the Trump administration is suing the City of Evanston over our first-in-the-nation reparations program. Read my latest Substack for more ➡️ open.substack.com/pub/danielbi...

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

The new terminal at #O’Hare in #Chicago looks like it will go vertical soon. 😊🎉🥳

Congratulations to Xavier Becerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor, and I look forward to standing with him as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

Major news in the California governor race: – Gavin Newsom officially endorses Xavier Becerra – Tom Steyer concedes and throws his support behind Becerra: "It would be a travesty for Steve Hilton to win the governorship, and Californians must unite behind Xavier Becerra to ensure he does not."

Senate Republicans have voted to hand another $70 BILLION to ICE/CBP to continue to terrorize our communities. Enough. Every dollar for these thugs is at the expense of our healthcare, our veterans, our schools, basic needs of our communities. It is shameful.

Happy Pride, California! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ As governor, I will fight for our LGBT community and make sure that everyone has the right to live and thrive as their true selves - including our transgender community, whose rights, dignity, and freedom must always be protected.

Tonight, I'm surrounded by the people who made this possible. We don't have final results yet — ballots are still being counted. But tonight feels good. The California Dream is alive. And we're just getting started.

Palm Springs The centerpiece is an official world record attempt for the largest gathering of Marilyn Monroe look-alikes ever recorded, running from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Downtown Park, centered around the city's "Forever Marilyn" statue.

Beautiful morning in Palm Springs meeting with voters and community leaders about the future of California. Just FOUR days left to make your voice heard — let’s get out the vote!

California, our primary election is on June 2. Make sure your ballot is filled out and submitted on time. To everyone across the country, this is your reminder to stay engaged. Know your election dates, check your registration status, and make sure you are prepared to vote.

A pleasure to walk through Chinatown with San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu, Supervisor Chyanne Chen, and fellow local leaders, meeting neighbors and business owners along the way who are helping power this moment. It’s time to carry this momentum forward to the ballot box on June 2nd.

When workers rights are under attack, we stand up and we fight back. Proud to stand with Starbucks workers tonight in their fight for fairness on the job. #nocontractnocoffee

The conduct of US Attorney Andrew Boutros in the Broadview Six case has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the office he leads. Prosecutorial credibility is based on public trust — and Boutros has shattered that trust. He should resign.

Latest poll from Kreate Strategies has @xavierbecerra.bsky.social consolidating voters. Hooray! 🥳

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

There are not enough words to convey the gratitude I have for every person who’s been a part of this campaign. Fired up from the energy of the room at our kickoff event yesterday and ready to fight for Democratic victories, here in the 9th District and across the country!

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Proud to have the endorsement of SEIU CA and the working people who power California every single day.

SEIU CA agrees: workers over billionaires. Grateful for the trust and endorsement of the workers who are the backbone of California - keeping our hospitals running, our schools and colleges supported, our public services functioning, and our communities cared for every day.

May Day in Los Angeles! It was incredible meeting so many of you and hearing your stories. The energy was unreal—feeling fired up for this campaign. Let’s keep it moving.

Happy May Day, California! I’m here at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles standing with workers who power our communities and move California forward. As Governor, I’ll be your fighter - standing up for working people, protecting your rights, and making sure every family has the chance to thrive.
