Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

‘The use of force shocks the conscience’: Judge issues sweeping injunction on Chicago tactics of immigration agents A federal judge in Chicago issued a sweeping injunction that puts more permanent restrictions on the use of force by immigration agents during “Operation Midway Blitz.”

The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans.

Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.

6.6.25 He's not ok

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

It is always a pleasure hanging out with Stephen Colbert especially when there are puppies. And it was a thrill meeting the great #CristinMilioti, who was absolutely sensational in the Penguin. Thanks #ColbertLateShow and Thanks Chuck! Styling: #MichaelFisher Grooming: #marycurranstylist

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Do your job, Sean.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.

I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

All Of This! Thank You, Jasmine!😊💙

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 119 … AG Pam Bondi is going to start locking up journalists: “Safeguarding classified, privileged, and other sensitive information is essential to effective governance and law enforcement.

Trump’s DOJ reverses protections for journalists. Meanwhile, Trump wears a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral, Putin mocks his “warnings,” and MAGA elites launch a $500k pay-to-play club in DC. Catch up with our weekend bulletin:

Who among us have burned their tongue eating one since the 70’s?

Every Republican member of the Senate & House caused the stock market crash & predicted recession by refusing to use Congress’s constitutional authority over all tariffs to block the illegal Trump tariffs.

Tonight @ Last Word @ msnbc 10pm

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020.

Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

The dollar is in free fall, stock market is down, and the price of groceries is up. Is this the “Golden Age” Trump promised you?

Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world

Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info.

This goes way beyond what was previously known.

Lovely!

There’s so much GOP cope happening today.

“At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat”

Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015.

You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

I Called and left message

Call Corey Booker’s office and thank him for standing up for Democratic principles! The Congressional Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Ask for Corey Booker!

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.
