@tribelaw.bsky.social: SCOTUS ruling shows ‘we’re a heartbeat away from repealing' core of 14th Amendment youtu.be/atJdgsS-dlU?...

ICYMI — from @protectourcare.org : “Over Eight Million Americans Have Now Lost Coverage In the Year Following Trump-GOP Largest Health Care Cuts In History” www.protectourcare.org/update-over-...

You tell 'im VV! They're all too happy to forget their family history and pull the ladder up on everyone else. Despicable.

"This is Fox News reporting live from this massive gathering of people at this pristine waterfront paradise and ..."

Old timers music. youtube.com/watch?v=H-kA...

If you're still relying on the openly deceptive Fox News as the source of your information, you're just asking to be deceived. They couldn't work any harder to tell their audience that they have no respect for their intellect if they came out and said it.

More good stuff from Julian Andreone of Drop Site as the house faces a vote on a Massie amendment to cut off funds to Israel… Democratic voters are clear. Why aren’t Democratic reps?

TEXAS – candidate @bobbypulido.bsky.social : “Sister ‘Letty’, a nurse & a nun in the Rio Grande Valley for 10 years, was on her way to mass in her habit when ICE detained her even though she's in the country legally… This should not be happening."

More than 3 million people enrolled in an Affordable Care Act plan this year have dropped their coverage amid higher monthly premiums and the expiration of enhanced subsidies that made the health insurance plans more affordable. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Convicted Felon Trump has been found guilty of fraud over and over again, across his long criminal career.

No surprise. Trump is a racist that has defended publicly displayed Confederate monuments. US military bases that were renamed, were given back their Confederate honored names. His insurrectionists carried Confederate flags. The Confederacy only existed for five years. They lost. Losers all.

Nixon was a president that became a criminal. Trump was a criminal that became president.

However long it is, it’s too long.

How much longer???

NEW The House has rejected Rep. Thomas Massie’s amendment to stop the integration of the United States military with Israel’s under Section 219 (formerly Section 224) of the NDAA.

Oh FFS

I firmly believe we can return to our better angels. I’m not saying we will, or that it will be easy. I’m saying it is possible. It will take a lot of hard work and people of good will fighting for what is right and good. And we will absolutely need bigger and better guardrails.

Doomscrolling is bad for my health.

How stupid do you have to be to buy even one word of Trump’s BS about the reflecting pool “vandals”? youtu.be/uWlmSJwc8lU?...

“The Amazon MGM-produced documentary about Trump cost $75 million to make and promote, but garnered just $16 million at the box office.”

53 years ago today, 6/25/73 With 85 million households watching on TV, former WH counsel John Dean reads his explosive 60,000 word opening statement which implicates Nixon, himself & other top WH officials in a coverup of Watergate & more. Nixon resigns 13 months later. Telling the truth matters.

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

One more thing the pompous Sam Alito should remember: The 14th Amendment was the law of the land for decades before the first Alito ever stepped foot in America. Your own FATHER and MOTHER, both children of Italian immigrants, were citizens because of the Fourteenth Amendment. The nerve. Sit down!

Vance: "People hang out those hideous signs in their yard that say, "in this house we believe blah blah blah blah blah. You know, love is love, science is science, whatever. No person is illegal." That sign is such a disgusting butchering of the Nicene Creed."

Terrific cartoon in the NYT 53 years ago today in 1973 after John Dean finished 5 days of devastating testimony that implicated Nixon, himself & others in the coverup of Watergate et al. He bluntly admitted his mistakes and also took on the most powerful man in the world—courage much needed in 2026.

Plenty of time for the Trump Administration to float another deal and pump up the market again before the holiday weekend.

No, Sam Alito. The serious mistake was you getting nominated and confirmed to SCOTUS - a threshold you cleared by only 9 votes in the Senate back in 2006 (when SCOTUS confirmations were usually cleared by much larger margins). Bush’s worst mistake. Worse than Iraq. thehill.com/regulation/c...

FACT-CHECK: TRUE ✅

The fact that THREE sitting Supreme Court Justices voted to ignore the plain text of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution - for the SECOND TIME - tells you everything you need to know about them. They don't care what the actual Constitution says.

The Founding Fathers of the United States wouldn't wait that long.

NEWS: 29-year-old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros will defeat 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary for CO-01. Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney, dominated the Denver assembly and tapped into anti-incumbent sentiment.

What a nut. www.mediaite.com/online/feder...

Assuming we defeat these goons at the ballot box in November and in ‘28 presidential, we should get a do over on the 250th. His Freedom 250 is an absolute abomination.

Yes, one wonders how many actual willing and eager attendees there are out of the dozens on site each day — which are probably mostly media and people coming to document the absolute embarrassment of the whole thing

Seems like a good time to bring this back

“I do think people are beginning to understand that this Court is really problematic and maybe even anti-democratic in certain ways.” @profmmurray.bsky.social joins @preetbharara.bsky.social & me to discuss this SCOTUS term on a new @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider episode: cafe.visitlink.me/NTvc44

The internet remembers

PROMISE MADE! PROMISE KEPT! @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom JUST SIGNED legislation imposing a 100% California tax on distributions from Donald Trump's fund created to benefit individuals connected to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Texas, not sending out best

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

Talk about how we got here and how we fix it. People need to vote for Senators who will prevent more jokers from getting confirmed when the next vacancy hits. bsky.app/profile/thev...

We have an awful, corrupt, racist Supreme Court. But we have the Court that we deserve. Because we didn’t vote intensely enough to select the people whose job it is to confirm or deny SCOTUS Justices. (And, no, we can’t blame gerrymandering. You can’t gerrymander a U.S. Senate election).

🧵

This is why it was so incredibly stupid and shortsighted for voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Montana to vote out Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester in favor of MAGA stooges who will do whatever Trump tells them to. Suppose Alito retires. And he nominates Todd Blanche to SCOTUS …

People need to understand the connection between their decision to vote or not vote, especially for President and for the U.S. Senate, and what happens on the Supreme Court. It makes no sense at all to sit out Senate elections but then complain about what the Court does. bsky.app/profile/thev...

Thanks for the analysis! A great reminder that voting really does matter!

One more election fact relative to all the Supreme Court debate ... If more people had voted in the midterm elections of 2010 and 2014, McConnell would not have been able to deny Merrick Garland a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2016.
