Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

I quite like this.

Get a load of what ABC is doing to fight back!!! File an FCC complaint on behalf of ABC. Tell them what you think!!! Thank you @maddow.bsky.social !!! My husband & both did it!!! Hey, @jimmykimmel.com I know you are watching even though you’re on vacation. 💜 Good stuff.

Hell yeah 👏🏽

It's so on-brand for SpaceX to be crashing.

Trump's speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition has been bizarre. He's just randomly mumbling now to extremely tepid applause.

Trump just called democratically elected Democrats "animals" as he planted the seeds to steal the midterms; MAGA Mike said he runs the "protection program" for Republicans, new Epstein subpoenas, and more. Your midday recap is here:

lmao Fox News immediately springs into action trying to sanewash Trump's incoherent mumbling

When asked about his ties to Epstein, billionaire Wall Street financier Leon Black refused to answer. When he was served a subpoena, he stormed out. Next month, he’ll have to answer our questions under oath. We won’t stop until there is justice for survivors.

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

"The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All" 30-100 years! Perhaps the most important and scary story you'll read all week:

Dude, please stay away from little girls.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT IF YOU CRITICIZED 2.9% INFLATION UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN BUT THINK 4.2% UNDER TRUMP IS NO BIG DEAL.... FACE IT YOU'RE IN A FUCKING CULT 🤷

here's today's post: "memo for doughy pantload Couchfuck McGee: fuck off, Nixon did actual crimes" — get out of here with your gaslighting, bro. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Thank you to all the establishment media hacks who refused to use the word racist, white supremacist and bigoted to describe Trump and the MAGA movement and furthermore criticized the rest of us who did. It's definitely "economic anxiety." You all were on it. Bravo. Well done.

Here is what Democracy Docket is tracking today: Total Active Voting and Election Cases: 198 Active Voting Rights Cases: 157 Active Redistricting Cases: 41 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 79 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 74 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 30 www.democracydocket.com

What do you do when the govt takes down information on climate change and fires you? Launch your own damn website. Former NOAA scientists launch another web resource to inform the public on climate change. We can’t allow censorship to prevail.

It really is this simple

“We do a Watergate twice a day” is a crazy way to confess your own corruption…

🚨 Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks of the war overnight, with Russia claiming it intercepted 660 drones across a dozen regions, occupied Crimea, and surrounding waters.

joycevance.substack.com/p/finally-a-... Finally a judge orders the government to release the rest of the EpStein files. #EpSteinFiles #SheShed #BSC1

"The DOJ’s attempt to force Gov. Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, AG Keith Ellison, and both the Ramsey and Hennepin County Boards of Commissioners to provide vast amounts of documents relating to immigration enforcement could not have failed more miserably." — @snipy.bsky.social

US District Judge Denise Casper just permanently threw out the administration's sweeping voting restrictions, stripping the White House of its manufactured election authority. Read the exact ruling: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-came...

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan has GRANTED Katie Phang's preliminary injunction concluding she has standing, has been harmed, and will likely succeed on the merits of her case demanding the full release of the Epstein files. Blanche has until 7/2 to respond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Katie Phang ... brings this action against Todd Blanche ... claiming that he has improperly withheld information and failed to comply with other requirements in violation of the Epstein Act." "[T]he Court GRANTS Ms. Phang’s motion." 1/🧵

NOW: Katie Phang discusses her HUGE win over the Trump DOJ to deliver transparency on the Epstein Files. Watch 👉 youtu.be/RNzTMIr7noE

A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by Katie Phang. Read the details here: joycevance.substack.com/p/finally-a-...

It’s been a very bad week for Todd Blanche & it just keeps getting worse. A bipartisan letter demands answers from Blanche about the immunity given to Trump AND 23 Democratic AGs are moving to file a brief in the Florida tax case b/c of its collusion & fraud. The latest: youtu.be/51ucm3OKEmk?...

Today, billionaire investor & Epstein close friend, Leon Black, appears before House Oversight for his transcribed interview. Black paid Epstein $170+ million for what Black claims were "tax, estate planning, and other related services." Black's name appears more than 8000 times in the Files.

It’s Furry Friends Friday! 🐾♥️ Lucky loves the park because he gets to be off-leash and he can read his pee-mails at his leisure. I guess we should all take a page out of his playbook and learn to slow down and just breathe.

Jesus Christ. Run your own fucking campaign how you want. But don't go out of your way to give Republicans ammo against Democrats running in other districts. Such stupid assholes.

If Kansas Republicans try this, they will get sued and lose. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Trump and Republicans "Big Beautiful Bill" has already taken food assistance away from more than 770,000 American kids: www.propublica.org/article/snap...

This makes me happy. Obama’s first bucket at the Obama Center. Build libraries. Build community spaces. Build things that will outlast the outrage cycle.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

Peter Navarro on Maria Bartiromo's show lies with impunity that "it's an indisputable fact" that Fauci "created that virus" and "killed people"

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

Oh, the fact that Alito had the gumption to give a verbal rebuttal from the bench after Sotomayor read from her dissent (according to SCOTUSblog's Amy Howe) is a prime example of why OPINION ANNOUNCEMENTS NEED TO BE LIVE STREAMED!

And in the final Alito-penned decision of the day, SCOTUS rules 6-3 that Haitian and Syrian refugees cannot seek relief to stop the termination of their TPS status: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Kagan: "There is no dispute that the plaintiffs will suffer irreparable harm absent postponement of the TPS decisions. So (they) are entitled to stay in this country while these suits go forward. Respectfully, I dissent from the Court’s decision that they may instead be put on the next plane."

Sotomayor: "Because the Court today blesses the Executive Branch’s decision to slam the door shut on all who are fleeing persecution, despite the detailed inspection and asylum system that Congress enacted and commands, I respectfully dissent."

Welp, here we go. SCOTUS, 6-3: Hawaii’s law prohibiting licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property open to the public without the property owner’s express authorization violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Seems, since Hawaii has a long history of restricting guns since it was an independent kingdom, the Bruen test is really just whatever the majority wants it to be.

SCOTUS: Immigrants who arrive at the border but don't (or cannot) cross it are not entitled to apply for asylum. Another 6-3 Alito joint www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
