Happy July 4th! A day when we remember what was in the Declaration of Independence.
The King, Jefferson wrote,
1. "has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures (what would he make of the billions that now to be spent on armed ICE officers?)

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com so exciting to hear you mention teacher and coach Henry Lane on tonight’s show. My late father was also one of his student athletes and always spoke highly of him. By coincidence, I live across the street from the Henry T Lane hockey rink.

The Griffin List A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. ...

If you voted in the Nov. North Carolina Supreme Court election be warned they are trying to purge +60k votes from the election. These are ballots that have errors on them and need to be corrected. Below is a link to the list of names. Check if you are on it.

And call your members of Congress asking for assistance for their constituents to reach Social Security.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

Stand With Trans Americans You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.

Do you need a measles booster shot? What to know as a U.S. outbreak continues to spread.

"There is a very specific group that does have to worry about their immunity from vaccination. People born after 1957 but vaccinated before 1968 — that group is unlikely to have robust immunity from…

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Constitution gives House sole power to impeach and Senate sole power to try/convict. Need 2/3rd vote. How do you get Republicans to vote to impeach and convict?

Where are the Republicans? Name 3 things Democrats should be doing now. Be part of the solution.

List three things you want Democrats to do that you think are effective. Be part of the solution, Mia.

6. Use civilian planes to transport immigrants rather than military transports. Huge cost savings.

5. Forget the tariffs. Americans need to see savings at their own “table” and won’t notice the government saving money if we are paying more.

3. Place maximum amount on fees Secret Service pays to Trump properties. Should be lower than market value.

4. Members of Congress not eligible for lifetime retirement until completing 18 years of service. (3 Senate terms, 9 House terms).

More ideas to come.

Suggestions for Elon and DOGE

1. Don’t fund vanity projects. No reason to change color of Air Force One and other planes that serve ceremonial role.

2. Stop changing names…rebranding, new signs, updating documents is expensive

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night.

None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him.

Shameful.

Hard sorting through all executive orders. Interesting to read that we are all the sex we are at conception. So even President Trump is considered female as we all are for 6-8 weeks after conception.

19 months ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer and am still under treatment. I’m still here because of the research finding new treatments funded through the federal government. So now that research is frozen so that others don’t have chances to live?
The new “Golden Age”?

In a world of Donald Trumps, be a Pamela Hemphill and a Jason Riddle.
