โ€˜Supermanโ€™ smashes box office expectations, soaring towards $130 million opening | CNN Business Itโ€™s not a bird or a plane โ€” itโ€™s the latest โ€œSupermanโ€ movie soaring towards the top of the box office.

I was told that the 'woke' politics of Superman would hurt it at the box office.

Turns out people actually *like* it when their superheroes are 'woke'.

Sen. Patty Murray: The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Sitting in Baker City, Oregon where 7 out of 10 kids rely on Medicaid for their health insurance and the only thing on every news channel is the abhorrent Combs verdict. We are fiddling while Rome burns, yโ€™all. #wearesoscrewed

Preparing for a rally in Baker City, Oregon tomorrow. Baker County has a population of about 16,500. Of those, about 6,000 rely on Medicaid. This community is going to be decimated by the Trump Admin. #BigUglyBill #HandsOffMedicaid

Federal judge halts Trumpโ€™s order to end collective bargaining rights for many federal workers | CNN Politics A federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely blocked President Donald Trumpโ€™s effort to terminate the collective bargaining rights for more than a million federal employees.

Unions are how we accomplish together what is impossible alone. They help us make sure every worker has safe working conditions, fair compensation, and a voice on the job. Iโ€™m glad federal judges blocked Trumpโ€™s attempts to strip rights from millions of federal workers. www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

Trumpโ€™s plan is more than bad policyโ€”itโ€™s a full-scale attack on union members, our jobs, our families and our future.

We wonโ€™t stand by while the Trump administration punishes us for being working-class.

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

โ€œIโ€™m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!โ€

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.
