All the Cards — A cartoon by RJ Matson

NEW: The DOJ was criminally investigating the companies of W. Va.'s MAGA Senator Jim Justice. Until then-DAG Todd Blanche's office shut it down. @mtredden.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Shapiro: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

🚨NEWS: FBI records obtained through a Judicial Watch lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged two emails with Trump shooter Thomas Crooks before the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt. The records remain heavily redacted, concealing the nature of the communications.

This is shameful, yet I’m not surprised. President Trump can try to censor our stories, but he will never be able to erase Massachusetts' abolitionist, suffragist, and immigrant history.

This is Pamela Griffin. Back then, Black people weren't allowed to buy city land so her family settled outside, next to the farmer. Seeing them play baseball, the farmer told them he'd donate his land for a park—and put it in a deed. The city still sold it. www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

With just five months to the midterms, Trump's DOJ has reportedly dropped its election-integrity training, deleted a guide on prosecuting election offenses, and hasn’t replaced the director of its Election Crimes Branch.

There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026. It’s up to all of us to shut them down and free them all.

Maine's primaries are on Tuesday, but it may be a while before we know the results. The SoS says that ranked-choice tabulations "are expected to be completed prior to the Juneteenth holiday" but could come as late as June 29. This matters most for #MEGov & #ME02.

Wealthy investor Zach Lahn came seemingly out of nowhere to win the Republican primary for Iowa governor last week. His Democratic rival is already up with ads calling him "a part-time Iowan."

SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, alleging the landmark law no longer needs to correct for historic voter suppression. But did you know… It came to this conclusion using a faulty data methodology that erroneously claimed Black voters turnout more than white voters.

I am uneasy with calling prosecutorial discretion to not enforce certain laws "nullification," given that I wholeheartedly supported Georgia DAs who said they would not prosecute abortion crimes. If folks want centralized prosecution decisions, then Commonwealth's Attorneys should not be elected.

According to Israeli media the first wave has ended, first wave is interesting choice. We may see more strikes at a later time.

If Democrats do not pair their next electoral victory with a strong record of governance, we are going to be right back in the maws of fascism one election later. trib.al/69mFfyt
