NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Percent of people without health insurance, going back to 1963. Huge declines following the creation of Medicare and Medicaid, down to roughly 12%. Creeps back up to 15%. Then comes the ACA, down to 9%. Creeps back up a little. Then comes Biden improvements to the ACA, down to 8%. The "Big Beautiful Bill" pushes it back up to 12%.

In a single act, Trump is undoing significant portions of the health coverage gains of the last 60 years.

‘Plot twist!’ Trump admin ridiculed for hiring spree to refill purged weather service jobs The Trump administration is quietly trying to open up hiring to fill many of the roles at the National Weather Service that were vacated by the layoffs and early retirements forced by tech billionaire...

Nice @fawfulfan.bsky.social story (and not just because it quotes my tweet) on the admin's "fire-er's remorse" at the National Weather Service:

PUNISH TRUMP FOR GERRYMANDERING TEXAS!

California is laying the ground work to draw Republicans out of their seats without mercy

These guys will learn *real soon* about BLUE STATE population advantage

FIGHT 🔥 WITH 🔥

Any American journalist who doesn’t *instantaneously* see what this is—Ghislaine Maxwell, desperately seeking a pardon from Trump, negotiating privately to say whatever he wants her to say in public to get a pardon (now or anytime during her twenty-year prison bid)—should quit their job immediately.

they literally shut the government down in order to avoid the truth about Epstein. an entire branch of government isn’t working for the American people b/c they are terrified of the truth.

Now the Trump DOJ is rushing to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell to try to find out what she knows. Not suspicious as all.

This is wild — House Republicans are so scared of voting to release the Epstein files they’re going home early.

(We agree, @AdamKinzinger, telephone town halls don’t count. But that’s all we get around here. @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepJohnRose)

Stephen Miller is the worst president we have ever had.

This is getting lost. When Stephen Miller shrieks orders for 3000 daily arrests, they HAVE TO go after noncriminals. It's the only way to juice the numbers. So Miller is shifting resources away from serious crimes toward that.

@vermontgmg.bsky.social and me on this:

Trans people don’t just deserve to exist. They deserve to flourish and live their best lives as their true selves. Pass it on.

Comms pros for electeds: get your bosses on the record and on TV and on the Internet and on the House/Senate Floors tomorrow hammering home how devastating the existing and proposed cuts to NOAA and the workforce and resilience and climate are. Nobody knows about them except us nerds! Tell people.

Joe Biden’s trifecta spent money to reconstruct our industrial base by building renewables and chips. Trump’s trifecta is spending money to cage innocent people at scale and then taking money from sick people to give to the rich.

if John Fetterman thinks that his job is too difficult he is more than welcome to resign and let a Democrat who actually wants to do the job take his place

instead of spending over $100 billion to build a high speed rail network, we’re getting ICE concentration camps

god I fucking hate republicans

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

Dachau in July 1933... reported in the New York Times

This is not in the bill. Just a total lie.

Great essay revealing the huge problem of having
6 conservative justices of SCOTUS who favor Trump as noted in their decisions.
Particularly regarding their most recent decision on "Birthright Citizenship"...

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

Yes, Murkowski and Collins do have this exact pact. It’s been an open secret for years. And the gullible voters in their states keep falling for it.

I realized Marco Rubio was a monster in 2012 when he said that women who have been raped shouldn’t be allowed to get abortions, and this assessment has never once steered me wrong since

Ice arrests of US military veterans and their relatives are on the rise: ‘a country that I fought for’ As Trump urges more deportations, veterans are seeing their parents, children and even themselves detained
