We knew this would happen. They came for the media. CBS is fully captured. All the corporate destroyers are in the boycott guide: www.ms.now/news/60-minu...

NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests. The WH has wanted more arrests. The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

Holy shit! This tour of the White House trail of destruction is painful to watch. Trump isn’t renovating anything. He’s taking a wrecking ball to history & sending us the bill. Based on what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be a shoddy build that will need to be redone sooner rather than later.

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

Mitch McConnell should resign Immediately…..

Alito's father was an Italian immigrant. Or a "birth tourist" according to Alito himself.

absolutely vital to win the senate this november. need to basically blockade judicial confirmations for the next two years.

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.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor accused the Supreme Court of giving President Donald Trump "power unknown even to the English Crown," in a 6-3 ruling that removed a precedent to protect the heads of independent federal agencies from being fired at will.

The Roberts court continues to reshape the American Republic into a governing system dominated by an Imperial Presidency.

SCOTUS upholding the firing of the FTC commissioner but not the Federal Reserve board member is such a blatant reveal of how this Supreme Court sides with the interests of capital over consistent jurisprudence and precedent.

One of the biggest stories in America is hiding in plain sight. I followed a pattern across DOJ, HHS, Medicaid, and the states, and it raises difficult questions about the future of community-based care. My latest investigation is available on Substack—gifted.

Tijuana 4:00 am last night :the Iranian Soccer team arrives. This is the most shameful #WarCup in history. They have had no recovery after matches, immediate flights to the airport,management/logistics staff denied visas. Shame on America. Shame on FIFA #WorldCup2026

When they said, "wear a suit," I just assumed…  Find a public pool near you at nycgovparks.org.

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

Gift Link: Justice Alito could not bring himself to quote a single example of 47’s statements about deporting Haitians in his majority opinion ― remarks "so repellent & racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print." ―Justice Elena Kagan👇🏾 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/u... #PINKS

Asylum is a human right.   The Supreme Court just gave the Trump Administration the green light to strip protections from hundreds of thousands of people seeking refuge from war, violence, and persecution.  Sending families back into danger is not justice. It's cruelty masquerading as policy.

Let's compare where we were before Trump dragged us into the Iran War and where we are now.   SPOILER ALERT: We're not better off.

What began as a “flamingo revolution” to protest the $1.4 billion development on Sazan Island has spiraled into mass protests against a ruling party that thousands now want out.

The message from this court today is blatantly clear. If you are rich, if you are white, if you are a corporation with a well-paid legal team and billions in profits, this court is your court. A big “fuck you” was sent to the rest of us!!! 😡😤🤬🤬🤬 app.rawstory.com/story/267710...

Today I learned that one of the principal architects of the Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine is a Black woman named Kizzmekia Corbett. Why didn't I know this before? #Racism #Sexism

Spotted some birds today in Chicago with some @dailybeanspod.com listeners! 🖕🚫 👑

A nearly +70 point differential. An undefeated record in qualifying games. Our very own New York Liberty are the hosts of this year’s @wnba.com Commissioner’s Cup. Let’s go Liberty.

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!

ANY other President would have been removed, disgraced, and castigated.

Very proud to have contributed to this project. fieldnotesbrand.com/products/the...

"I am not a politician. I never wanted to be a politician. I don't want to be a politician. I am not benefiting from the PACs that are opposing Alex Bores because it's not about me. It's not about a career in politics. I'm committing to serve just one term...

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Happy Juneteenth, DC. Fannie Lou Hamer said it plainly, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Today is Juneteenth, a celebration marking the day the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas.

Headed back to ABQ to celebrate Juneteenth today at Civic Plaza. Chicago Midway ✈️ getting this party started in the terminal right now! ❤️💛💚🖤

Happy Juneteenth everyone! Still feeling all the feels from yesterday. Let’s let this sense of pride, purpose, and hope propel our fight forward! ❤️

COME THE FUCK ON

Barack and Michelle reminded us today of what leadership in this nation truly looks like. What an incredible day for Chicago and for Illinois as we celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

Obama: To Michelle. She did me wrong. She wouldn't let me see her speech. She knew she was going to mess me up and she did it anyway. But she's always made me better. And I could not be more grateful.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

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.

53 years in the making.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

If you talk about Michelle Obama today, please make it about this video

Kamala Harris visit the Abbey in West Hollywood. 🏳️‍🌈💙

Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.

NOOOOOO! Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra — a UNESCO World Heritage site and priceless cultural landmark — has been struck and is burning.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

Tom Hank's WW II History Channel Documentary is phenomenal but disturbing to watch. "Kristallnacht" "Night of the Broken Glass" unfortunately sounds like it's happening again in my lifetime as immigrants are being targeted & deported by force 😢😢
