On this day 250 years ago, the first public readings of the Declaration of Independence took place in Philadelphia. Listen closely to the list of grievances the Founding Fathers penned about King George III. Remind you of anyone?

We are so excited that the @wnba.com will host several marquee events at the Obama Presidential Center’s Home Court as part of the AT&T WNBA All-Star 2026 weekend!

Like many, many dynamics in US politics, this only goes one direction. Only one party is held to any moral standards. Only one party is asked to ritually reject its most ideological members. Only one party is held collectively responsible for anything any of its activists say.

He's got a lot of nerve talking about candidates not being attractive enough.

He who laughs last, laughs loudest.

NEW from me: Trump’s crazed lies about ‘communists’ demand media debunking presswatchers.org/2026/07/trum...

Can't wait for the national media freakout about this!

“Who do you believe? Them… or Benjamin Netanyahu?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social names the UN officials, human rights and aid groups, prominent Israelis and medical orgs that have accused Israel of committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide and starvation - all in 60 seconds. zeteo.com/subscribe

Trump supporters are saying what about Democrats now?

The mainstream media, forgetting about a progressive, popular Black woman, @angieforfl.bsky.social, who is running for office? Shocking /s

Trump and Republicans don’t want to prevent voter fraud, they want to prevent voting. Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified, and their voter suppression laws are about election security. They are lying! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

NEW: US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra hosted over a dozen far-right activists and right-wing media personalities at his ‘Fourth of July’ party in Ottawa this weekend The US Embassy says Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich, who was convicted on criminal charges last year, was accredited as a journalist

Abbott Laboratories donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund. Trump bought around $500,000 worth of shares in Abbott stock last year. His DOJ just dropped a years-long criminal investigation into Abbott for potential deadly misconduct. Everything is for sale.

Intelligence services don't think in election cycles. They think in DECADES. While you're arguing about the next four years, somebody patient is buying the next forty. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Absolutely fucking exhausting that our elected leaders continue to see the moves the administration makes as “failures” and not what they really are: wildly successful *intentional* plans to steal wealth and move money from public services to the pockets of their billionaire buddies.

It's a good look for him....and her.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

"the last two decades of Supreme Court jurisprudence have tended systematically to corrupt American democracy across a variety of related issues: campaign finance (including last week’s decision), presidential immunity, and, of course, the prosecution of bread-and-butter political corruption."

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: You will be prosecuted. That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials.

"Trump pardoned a business partner of infamous Jack Abramoff, kingpin of the massive corruption scandal that rocked DC in the 2000s. The man, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and mail fraud conspiracy, has donated nearly $4 million to GOP campaigns..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"We must overhaul our election system by expanding vote-by-mail options, limiting aggressive purges of voter rolls, codifying same-day and automatic voter registration, and ending the pernicious practice of racial and political gerrymandering."

We don’t just need a Democratic majority in Congress—we need a progressive majority. All across the nation, we're building a coalition that stands up to oligarchy, fights for working people, and organizes a better future for all. Join us.

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

This reminds me that there are more of us, than there are of them. Let's never forget how much power we have, especially now.

Obama won, yet again. 🏆 He threw a concert, people actually showed up, and had a damn good time.

They hate him because he’s wildly popular and, more important, because he’s doing a great job.

Neuman and Herman are far more beloved than Donald Trump ever was.

150 new Americans became citizens at Mount Vernon this morning. 🇺🇸

Republicans don't own July 4th! They own Trump corruption, cruel & brutal #ICELawlessness, torturous detention centers, a leader listed a million times in the Epstein Files, January 6th, astronomical grocery & gas prices, authoritarianism & a disastrous war. Tell a friend! Happy #4thOfJuly

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

Happy 4th of July….

"When Trump wanted to merge US and Russian cybertechnology in 2017, Congress rightly saw it as a national security threat and rejected it. But when Israel wants a more dangerous military merger, most of Congress abides." On Section 224: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-colla...

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸 ! We continue the struggle for a ‘more perfect union.’ And I continue to agree with James Baldwin: “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

It’s been a year since Donald Trump slashed SNAP funding in his “Big Beautiful Bill.” Here’s how many people have lost food assistance in each state. Alabama: -52,480 Alaska: -422 Arizona: -469,400 Arkansas: -18,549 California: -300,838 Colorado: -26,095 Connecticut: -33,599
