Reuters: US JUDGE TOSSES JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S LAWSUIT CHALLENGING FOUR NEW JERSEY CITIES' 'SANCTUARY' IMMIGRATION POLICIES

May have been a tactical error to go "Now you done it, New York, you're gonna see what REAL SOCIALISM looks like!!!" right before the snow got cleared and the Knicks won

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Trump: "I won three elections. We did great on the second one. It was a rigged deal."

In a new court filing, SPLC provided evidence that the prosecution into the org came directly out of a letter that extremist groups sent to Stephen Miller complaining that they had been included in SPLC's Hate Map. emptywheel.net/2026/06/23/h...

apparently the bassist for the Oregon Symphony wore a shark costume for their performance of the Jaws score, you love to see it www.reddit.com/r/Portland/c...

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

I had one rule this week: no one plays on Home Court until some old friends and I get some shots up. Who’s got next? 🏀

⚠️ WARNING: ICE abducted a pet owner, leaving two dogs to starve for a week. Only the landlord saved them. This isn't a mistake; it’s a sickening pattern. When agencies treat people as disposable, innocent lives become collateral. This cruelty must end.

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.

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

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

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.

this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

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.

Michelle Obama appreciation post just because.

His voice is spectacular

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

"Hussein said he was in disbelief that he was told to convert or leave — for the first time in his life — at a Republican convention with the tagline, 'Unity drives victory.'"

“We have been receiving troubling reports that you may be using part of the budget of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a personal slush fund to make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in unlawful ‘bonus’ payments to loyalist MAGA henchmen who have engaged in misconduct”

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too. The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.

Chicago, it’s good to be home! Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!

In addition to being assholes, these guys are also shitheads stateline.org/2026/06/12/r...

This is so cool.

If Texas’ MMRC is not reauthorized, Texans will lose the most important source of data about preventable reasons for maternal deaths and severe illness.

Iran we’re getting $300B and $24B in frozen assets unlocked. Trump no money is going to Iran. What a mess!

WTF LAPD???? The LAPD showed up with 20+ officers and even sent a HELICOPTER for a noise complaint in an apartment complex in Canoga Park. And they shot and killed Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. He wasn't dangerous. He wasn't a threat.

Aaaaaaand there it is…

In honor or today, #barakobamaappreciationday, I had thought I might dig out my stored copy of the @nytimes cover from when he won the first time circa 2008, and post it up here. But… then the Knicks EFFING WON, and the party began … and I figured @barackobama.bsky.social would understand.

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/...

Now they're fighting... the Weather Channel

TOMORROW!!! #NoKingsDay 🇺🇸

I have to say, removing a usurper king's name from a building really is a great way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding.

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels. They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF." They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.

OK, I get it: The Kennedy Center operation is proof that it will be a slow and cumbersome process to remove the stain of Donald Trump. But make no mistake, democracy-loving Americans will not be deterred.
