I hope the Senate Dems listen to AOC! If you live in NY, pressure Schumer!
AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand
I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Minnesota is not just protesters; it's caring neighbors!
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Christi Noem should testify under oath in Congress and explain why she lied about the facts around the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Trump: Free Speech For Me, Government Approved Speech for You #ABlueView🧵1/3
How long do you think it'll be before SCOTUS will agree with Trump & overturn 249 years of settled First Amendment law in an unexplained, unconstitutional Shadow Docket decision?

tbh I gotta say I think Bill Clinton made way better use of this room
This image is Trump in a nutshell. The room they are in is just off the Oval and is designed as a private office for the President. Trump - who at his best, is an obsequious hotel manager - likes to give WH tours and is seen here showing off how he converted the office into a merch shop.

Gov. JB Pritzker is fighting fire with fire, supporting the Texas Democratic lawmakers after they left the state for Illinois to prevent a quorum — derailing the Republicans' plans to rig the midterm elections. Now, he's speaking out in a new interview with MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas.

If you are on the fence about participating in an event, this video should change your mind!
I was on the fence, but if Mark's in, I'm in. See y'all in the streets on Saturday.
This Saturday, June 14th, join one of the 1,800+ No Kings protests across the country. While Trump celebrates his birthday with a military parade in D.C. like a wannabe king, we'll be joining together to uphold our democracy and protect our rights! @indivisible.org #NoKingsDay

But now they are giving him a $400M plane...
EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Largest tax hike since WWII
JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

You might get deported for participating in one of the pro-Palestine protests that the government giving Trump his personal jumbo jet was funding. Huh. @samsteindc.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social discuss the latest nutty press conference
