Trump wants to use millions in national park entry fees to fund his vanity projects — including a $1.6M fireworks show and a $5M White House helipad. This comes after he made huge cuts to the NPS budget. We should be preserving our national treasures for future generations, not neglecting them.

The House approved a war powers resolution Wednesday that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran, defying President Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war that has reordered politics at home and abroad. https://to.pbs.org/4uSoygK

Trump just signed order "reclassifying" ~8,000 civil servants so they are easier to fire for political reasons -- this has been in the works since his first term www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Wrote about something that’s been bothering me:

My new @contrariannews.org piece w/ @democracydefendersaction.org Riley Pynnonen breaks down why Trump's Acting DNI pick is worse than unqualified & what the Senate can do to stop him Pulte has no intel background & a record of weaponizing every office he's held The stakes couldn't be higher 👉 -TN

First, Trump is a misogynist rapist pig. Next, CNN is not yet owned by Trump’s pals Larry Ellison and his son David Ellison. Their Paramount Skydance has wrecked CBS, but some boulders are blocking Paramount Skydance takeover of WBD, parent of CNN. www.mediaplaynews.com/paramount-as...

Even when the fact-finding court made the exact finding that the Supreme Court said would toss a district map, the Supreme Court reversed, applying its highest principle: “whatever helps Republicans win is what we do.” They are now shameless.

The most corrupt president in the history of our country.

Yesterday, progressive Dems won some races, liberal Dems won some, and moderate Dems won some. Which shows that we’re all needed right now. I’m tired of certain folks acting like it’s got to be their way of the highway. Because a coalition of different kinds of Democrats is how we win.

Once again, Hegseth refuses to advance several eminently qualified women and people of color in the military. Instead, he is pushing a crony who has been passed over for promotion multiple times. Our military and our national security suffer from his special brand of malign incompetence.

House passes resolution to end the Iran War - The Hill apple.news/AKqiUDi-cTlK...

In a first, House votes to block Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I've been chewing on this all day and honestly I think I undersold it this morning. To strike down a law as a violation of the 15th Amendment, federal courts have always required proof of intentional discrim. If evading a court order isn't that, nothing is. This effectively vacates the 15th A

What's more — by changing the definition of what "intentional discrimination" is, they have narrowed the 15th Amendment *itself*

Last night, the Supreme Court ruled that the VRA cannot protect even against *intentionally* discriminatory voting policies When we say there is no federal statute remaining the enforce the 15th Amendment, this is what we mean

NBC: In the Iranian war that Rubio shamelessly swore under oath is over, Iranian missiles and drones caused enough damage to Kuwait’s international airport to close it to air traffic, killing one and injuring 63.

Trump has dropped his $1.8 billion slush fund for his loyalists after a major outcry. But his Justice Department is keeping the agreement to shield him and his family from IRS audits, which could save him at least $100 million. He will always find a way to line his own pockets.

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.

The long-time “60 Minutes” correspondent and former CBS anchor was fired on Tuesday after clashing with CBS News’ leadership over the firing of his colleagues.

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

It seems like identifiable members of the Supreme Court actively helping one political party to choose its voters to maximal electoral advantage should be a bigger scandal

A golden oldie. Trump was always a classless repugnant dictator. You can see the rage building on his face.

BREAKINGNEWS: Secretary Marco Rubio stated during a congressional hearing that the war with Iran is over. Here is Iran bombing US bases in Kuwait just hours later. We are being led by idiots and liars. 🚨

CBS has now gotten rid of both Stephen Colbert & Scott Pelley in service to an authoritarian president.

Political positions considered Leftist in America are just common sense in other countries.

The Barack and Michelle Obama statue at the new Barack Obama Presidential Center opening soon.

Exciting news!! Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic primary for Governor and if elected, she will make history as the nation’s first Native American woman to serve as governor. 

More statues like this please.

I am Kelly Kortum, and I have represented many of you in north/west Bozeman in the House of Representatives. It has been an honor to serve you, our community, and our state these last six years. Now, I hope to continue doing so, as your state senator, with your help. #mtpol
