Looking forward to all the schoolchildren in Texas, being taught the Bible under Texas's new Christian nationalist law, finding out that Ken Paxton and his mistress should be stoned to death for committing adultery. Glory!

Tom Kean Jr. was healthy enough to authorize stock transactions up to $190,000 during his nearly 4-month absence from the House. There’s more to this story than he’s saying.

An extraordinary cancer stat recently just dropped: zero. That’s how many UK women in their early 20s died from cervical cancer between 2020-24. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com is on 20 years of HPV vaccines--& how the US could better maximize the potential of this critical public health tool (🎁):

This morning, the Supreme Court struck down the limits on how much a political party can spend in coordination with its federal candidates. This required it to ignore prior precedent and to adopt a strained reading of the Constitution. The fight continues... elias.law/press-releas...

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

A lie. Slaughter allows Trump to purge the heads of the MSPB and Office of Special Counsel, which protect civil servants from unlawful firings. When those agencies are paralyzed or corrupted, civil servants’ job protections become worthless. Thomas and Barrett endorsed this outcome just last month.

Fact check: Vought has, in fact, repeatedly expressed support for Christian nationalism by name. He has been very public about that. religionnews.com/2025/06/23/o...

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to the state's unredacted copy of its statewide voter registration list. DOJ is now 0-11 in these cases. Elias Law Group is undefeated. It may be time to invoke the mercy rule. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

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.

The Republican National Committee sued Nevada Friday, marking the third GOP lawsuit against overseas voters within a week and the latest escalation in a fast-moving national campaign to restrict voting access for U.S. citizens abroad. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Tomorrow at SCOTUS is gonna be like: a. Trans athletes get screwed b. Another campaign finance law is gutted c. Birthright citizenship is upheld ... and we're all supposed to focus on (c) and forget about all the atrocious decisions that preceded it. Let's not, please!

No legislative veto. Hampered oversight. No agencies outside of presidential control. No attempt to meaningfully enforce the power of the purse statutes. This is the Court’s doing.

When Caitlin Clark was flagrantly fouled, why did Fox News’ website post about her 21 times in 6 days? The right wing needs to stop ruining sports by dragging its white victimization agenda into it. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

There is a real effort among the American right wing to lionize Clark and other white WNBA players - not by lifting them up, but - as Mark says here - by creating stories in which they are the victims of a Black league out to get its white stars. It's all very gross.

SCOTUS refused to hear E. Jean Carroll. So it’s official: he is a predator.

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court holds that federal Election Day statutes do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterwards A huge victory for our clients and the Elias Law Group team. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 80 voting and election cases in 41 states (plus DC). 4 in SCOTUS. 20 in Federal Courts of Appeal. 5 in State Appeals/Supreme Courts. When we fight we win!

🚨MORE OF THIS: Gov. JB Pritzker humiliates Donald Trump on LIVE TV: Pritzker: "Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes.” DAMN.

Trump's stolen money from national parks 4 his own projects. Funding 4 900 Park Service projects never arrived, including to replace a guardrail on the edge of a cliff in CO's Gunnison National Park that was identified as “a significant safety hazard” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-27-2026

"The more the public understands their rights and the security forces’ authorities in this historically abnormal setting, the lower the risk of tragic mistakes and open hostility." @danmaurerlawprof.bsky.social outlines what election officials should do if troops are deployed at polling stations.

MYTH: Healthcare fraud only happens in blue states like California.    FACT: Trump’s OWN DOJ just released a report finding the TOP 2 STATES for fraud in recent enforcement actions are led by Republican Governors!

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

I worked at Colonial Williamsburg the summer of 97, as a college sophomore. At least 3 ppl offered to buy me. Dozens asked me if I was Pocahontas. One asked me if the backyard I was showing was where bad slave girls like me got taken to be beaten. My bosses took to action. And I’m not even Black!

First amendment? Nope. Now they'll send ICE to hunt you down.

Yuppers!

Communism's never been popular in the US, the only politician calling for state takeover of industries is Trump, taking stakes in 9 companies involved in steel, minerals, nuclear energy, & semiconductors, at a $10 billion cost of taxpayer money. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-26-2026

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

Louisiana Republicans react to the Trump-endorsed candidate, Julia Letlow, winning the Senate primary. With proper backing and funding from Dem Leadership, Louisiana is there for the taking.

Wow....

Trump's voter suppression scheme lost this week. Alongside our co-counsel on behalf of @lwv.org, we sued on his admin’s effort to purge voter rolls — and won.

They don't want you to know the REAL reason Social Security is in trouble But I'm going to tell you anyway. 👇 https://robertreich.substack.com/p/they-dont-want-you-to-know-the-real

MORE of this please!

😬

Trumpy is literally spreading propoganda and lying about his bullshit greatness. Because he knows he's losing. Every single day

Can not happen soon enough!

Inside a women’s prison, a domestic violence victim began collecting others’ stories of abuse. 156 women answered her call. Together, they became “survivor sisters” — and helped shape a new law offering them a path toward freedom. But would it work? Listen to the full episode:

Ossoff: "When they gathered in Atl to remove Black elected officials not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power, they saw you mobilize & they backed down. A wave is building ... let's make sure they hear it down at Mar-a-Lago, that GA will bow to no king!"

Motion to change the name of the Great American State Fair to “The Daily Humiliation of Donald Trump, and Ferris Wheel.”

Whoever did this should find out what’s like when the cops show up their door for a good reason. To a political hoax.

Larry Ellison gave $45M to support Trump's reelection in 2024. In return, Trump has given Ellison free rein to build more AI data centers and helped him gobble up companies like Paramount, WBD, and TikTok for his business empire. This is what oligarchy looks like.
