Scott Pelley:

"The very last thing that the previous ownership did was pay a multi-million-dollar bribe to the president to settle this frivolous, ridiculous lawsuit.

And very shortly after that, somehow the Trump administration approved the sale."

Every state AG in America should be blocking the Paramount deal as the fruits of blatant corruption.

And then unwind the prior corrupt deal.

The race is Maine is about change — just like races all over the country.

The facts are that Susan Collins votes with Trump 95% of the time, backs his judicial nominees, and then campaigns as an independent voice. That's exactly the disconnect fueling voter frustration across the country and why Democratic voters can get behind Graham Platner.

And here's the irony: Republicans attacking their opponent over personal scandals are using the same attacks they spent years dismissing when it came to Trump. It’s embarrassing.

[The Intercept @theintercept]

One top military officer provided a plausible explanation, behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, The Intercept has learned. In the briefing, a high-ranking officer on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff stated that some of the people killed by the U.S. military may have been the victims of human trafficking.

Trump is still bombing Iran. The Strait is still closed. People are still barely getting by. These out of touch fools think we are all going to forget our bank accounts being drained by their foolishness.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

Republicans don't want to talk about Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund or his lifetime get-out-of-audits-free card.

That's exactly why they keep trying to silence Democrats who are demanding answers.

👇🏼 We’re entitled to know about the president’s health.

“Even if the arch isn’t stopped now, the fight against it can lay the groundwork for removing it as soon as possible after January 20, 2029. The day the arch is taken down will mark the restoration of fidelity to the nation’s founding principles.”

Wanna know what also contributes to skyrocketing costs?

Rick Scott was CEO of Columbia/HCA when the hospital chain orchestrated what became the largest healthcare fraud case in U.S. history. The company pleaded guilty to 14 corporate felonies and ultimately paid a record $1.7 billion in federal fines for systematically defrauding Medicare and Medicaid.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

At the dawn of another SCOTUS opinion day, Marc Elias reminds us that June has been the time when the high court delivers its most devastating blows against individual rights and the rule of law.

If that is the result today, Marc writes, we must be ready to fight back even stronger. https://t.co/7u1hwC0Gfv

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

So they intended skyrocketing inflation, destruction of billions in sensitive military bases in the Middle East, depleting our arsenal, disrupting global oil, fertilizer, helium, giving Iran control of the Strait, and not getting rid of their nuclear stockpile. Brilliant!

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Todd Blanche, the President's former personal lawyer, is a corrupt grifter who has proven he will always put Trump above the law. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that.

I'm voting NO. We should not let these crooks run the DOJ like a mob family.

[Pete @splendid_pete]

EU sanctions and an entry ban. Now.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

LOSS: A Wake County Superior Court ruled that the North Carolina election board violated the state constitution by allowing individuals who were born overseas and have never lived in the state to vote in federal elections.

The decision prohibits such voters from participating in any North Carolina election.

There's an illegal war going on, the average price of gas has almost doubled since the war started & tens of millions of Americans have lost their healthcare thanks to the GOP. Meanwhile, Trump is spending $60 million & forcing 7 federal agencies to work on....his UFC fight? What a sham. https://t.co/DBeWOHZz5I

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Yes, whatever you think of Iranians, they are clever, unlike you, so they are playing you, dumb Donald Trump, for suckers.
So why don't you stop you stupid war before it costs the world even more?
The clever Iranians will hang you dry.
(I have spent substantial time there).

Every fact is “fake news”

Every protest is “paid agitators”

Everything they don’t like is a “hoax”

Every election they lose is “rigged”

Imagine being so fucking weak and pathetic that you have to invent an alternate reality because you’re incapable of dealing with the truth.

How does it feel to know your tax dollars are being used to send Laura Loomer to Cuba?
