DO NOT CAVE!

The East Wing Obscenity This piece is on the free side of the paywall, and I have to admit that writing it made me more sad than I could have imagined. The ugly destruction isn’t just to a building, but to memory, history, and American grace. open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

The U.S. is projected to lose $12.5 billion in revenue this year, just from a drop in international travelers. The ONLY country among 184 analyzed by the World Travel & Tourism Council to see a decline in visitor spending. So. Much. Winning.

Republican Rep. Mike Flood’s town hall was a dumpster fire: for him. “There’s been a lot of misinformation out there about the bill,” Flood said. Yes, there has. From you and Republicans trying to hoodwink us. The crowd yelled, “Vote him out!” as the hour-and-a-half meeting ended.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Rep. Jolanda Jones from Texas is also a criminal defense attorney and she says that Abbott and Paxton are just using their threats as sound bites because there is no felony any of them committed. And even if there was, they can't touch them in Illinois. #USDemocracy

I’ll watch Stephen Colbert wherever he lands.

RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show has died from Asphyxiation while vacationing in Costa Rica. He was 54 years old. He will be missed.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

We have some good news in these dark times! Narcisso Barranco, the father of three U.S. Marines, has been released from an ICE detention center in Adelanto, California. I hope to see more releases and more families reunited. Small steps lead to great victories.🔥 Please pass it on. #OnYourSide

KNOXVILLE: @RepTimBurchett defends voting to kill $42 million in grants to revitalize largely Black neighborhoods split by federal highways by saying the money wouldn’t have helped them anyway 🤔 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Not every post you disagree with needs a snarky comment. It's okay to scroll on and live your best life instead.

Anyone being detained by law enforcement in America deserves to know who is detaining them and why. I'm helping introduce the VISIBLE Act to simply require immigration officers display their badge number and agency. My full statement ⬇️

#ProudBlue It’s absolutely disgusting that these Nazis invaded a park where kids are playing. Kids that are at summer camp. I sure hope that one day these evil fucks will be held accountable for their gross behavior.

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

Courageous young women should be celebrated for their heroism.

GOVERNOR @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: “What a disgrace, what’s happening in MacArthur Park… what THEATER… National Guard men & women are being used as political pawns… Donald Trump & Stephen Miller’s hearts are polluted.”

🚨 Arizona District 07, this is your moment! A special election is happening now and your vote will make a difference: Mail your ballot by July 8th Or vote in person on July 15th Don’t sit this one out. Every vote counts. Especially yours.

FACTS:

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

He just ate, but he’s giving me the “you forgot to feed me” face

This year it feels more like the Farce of July.

MAGA Republicans booed President Biden and called him a liar for exposing their plans to cut Social Security and Medicare. Biden was right.

President Zelenskyy presented the Future of Ukraine award to 11-year-old Jens Thomsen from Denmark. Jens has been handcrafting Easter chicks and donating all proceeds to support Ukrainian children. He raised 34,000 kr+ towards school supplies. Jens is the first foreigner to receive this award.

It shows just how shameless Trump and his allies are that they keep lying about a so-called “no tax on Social Security” provision in the bill—something that simply does not exist. They just lie.

If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

In light of the news that the US economy has *lost* jobs under Donald Trump, it bears a reminder that the US economy *never* lost jobs in *any* month under Joe Biden. What an incompetent loser Donald is.

👏👏👏🗽🇺🇸

Good morning 🫡
