In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE. After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms. I'm voting NO.

🚨BREAKING: The Senate blocked another Republican attempt Thursday to attach the anti-voting SAVE America Act to an immigration funding package, marking the second failed GOP effort to move the sweeping voting restrictions bill through the chamber. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

New request to DOJ to investigate Philip Levine & Frédéric Fekkai over allegations they sexually assaulted Sarah Kellen, longtime Epstein personal asst. Why isn’t Kellen ID-ing the abusers of other victims & why Ghislaine Maxwell needs to start providing more info youtu.be/MNEz2P5iRYA?...

As millions of Americans read this, they have to be thinking of the hundreds of boxes of classified materials Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago and then stored in unsecured bathrooms. It's 1,000 times more serious than what they've nailed Bolton on. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

"Video analyzed by The Washington Post shows Elias Irizarry, who was 19 in 2021, crawling into the Capitol through a broken window, posing for photos in a private conference room, climbing onto a statue of former President Ronald Reagan, and leaving after 20 minutes."

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Solar is irrelevant in the winter" (this, dear reader, is false)

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

Two advisory board members of Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper that has long enjoyed editorial independence from the government, has sued the Defense Department — alleging that an effort to impose new restrictions on the paper was an act of illegal censorship.

A new study has found that the National Guard's presence in Washington, D.C. had no effect on violent crime in the city. The Guard has been deployed since last August as part of a federal task force to fight crime, and their numbers are set to double in the coming weeks. n.pr/3PWDxqK

An Iowa man shot & killed 6 relatives in a domestic dispute. I can’t stop thinking about the only surviving family member, a 22-year old who lost his mom, sister, and 4 brothers. When an abuser has access to a firearm, the risk of a deadly outcome increases dramatically. Our leaders must act.

Great to be back in Tivat 🇲🇪 Where people and cultures have met for centuries. The entire Western Balkans lie at the heart of European history. Our Summit is all about the next chapter.

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

After months of delay, the House took a bipartisan vote to end President Trump’s war in Iran. While American families have struggled with soaring costs, the Trump Administration spent Billions of dollars on a war of choice that fueled higher gas prices and put American servicemembers in harm's way.

Yesterday the acting Attorney General said Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for his cronies and insurrectionists was dead. Today, Trump walked it back in the Oval Office. I'm fighting to pass the SLUSH FUND Act to kill it permanently.

The House just passed an Iran War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s unchecked power. This is a win for the American people who don’t want to be in another endless war.

BIG NEWS! A War Powers Resolution to end the war in Iran just passed the House! The American people are tired of presidents abusing their power by spending billions of our taxpayer dollars on unnecessary wars. I urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

BREAKING: The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war. Both houses of Congress have now passed bipartisan resolutions demanding the war end. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, power to declare war. Trump must end this war now.

The farce continues. ICE and DOJ's official position to Judge Xinis is that it would be "prejudicial" to the United States national interest to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica and not Liberia. Then at a hearing, Secretary Mullin says he'd be "happy" to send him there.

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

The House is expected to vote on a measure requiring Trump to either end U.S. military involvement in Iran or obtain authorization from Congress to continue it. The resolution was originally poised for consideration in May, but Republican leadership pulled it from the schedule at the last minute.

REP. DEAN TO BLANCHE: "The president lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove it. It's all covered up. The 🇺🇸 people are not stupid.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

Congressional statute: "There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise." 50 U.S. Code § 3023

Grateful to the Court for seeing the urgency in my Motion for Preliminary Injunction.

MENG: Are you going to issue new memo in writing rescinding weaponization fund? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to putting anything in writing. What would the purpose be? M: You established it in writing so it makes sense to rescind it in writing B: Ok. I'm not committing to doing anything in writing

The national inflation rate has shot up from 2.4 to 3.8 over the first four months of the year, so no, that doesn't seem to be "a deep, downward dive"

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

An executive order with no teeth that’s entirely voluntary. This is a fraction of what President Biden’s EO did and doesn’t come close to California’s efforts to put guardrails on AI. If Trump is serious about protecting people, he should follow California’s lead.

Fairly clear at this point that the Supreme Court has overturned the lion’s share of the VRA.

Let CBS News burn to the ground.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upheld an Alabama Congressional map that denies Black voters fair representation. This decision flies in the face of democracy and is another critical blow to our voting rights.

Scott Pelley has been fired by new 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton.

Renaming the Kennedy Center is ILLEGAL Congress named it -- not Trump! @repbeatty.bsky.social walked into the belly of the beast-- the White House & confronted Trump directly The court backed her up Brave doesn't begin to cover it More on our @democracydefendersaction.org win👇 -TN

It doesn’t matter what problem you want to tackle — money in politics stands in the way of solving any of it. The best thing we can do to make Washington work better is: 1. Ban stock trading in Congress 2. Get corporate PACs and dark money out of politics

Many young adults transitioning out of foster care lost their federal food aid benefits on Monday as stricter work and education requirements went into effect. The new eligibility requirements are part of what President Donald Trump calls the "One Big Beautiful Bill."

We strongly condemn the Governor of Alabama's plans to void the results from the state's recent primary. The state legislative map that Alabama plans to use for this so-called special primary was previously struck down for discriminating against Black voters.

Judge Emmet Sullivan sets June 30 hearing in Katie Phang lawsuit against the Justice Dept, in which Phang is seeking a court order to require the release of more of the Epstein files

Trump often confuses himself with America, and America with himself. Not surprisingly, his plan for celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary is looking more and more like a celebration of Trump. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/beware-of-trumps-250th-wild-rally
