“This Executive Order contravenes the Citizenship Clause’s original understanding, deeply-rooted Supreme Court precedent and the constitutional authority of the legislative & judicial branches. The issuance of this Order was an affront to the Rule of Law.”

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

How the Reflecting Pool Turned Green: Missing ‘Bubblers’ and a Rush Job

Bulky “nanobubbler” machines were carted off ahead of a promotional event for President Trump’s UFC birthday party https://t.co/1i54KFHKvd

Kagan's dissent is the legal document that will be read when historians examine what this Court did in this moment. She found that the majority's conclusion required setting aside comments that were "so repellent and racially inflected" that the Court itself would not reproduce them in its opinion - and then ruling anyway that those comments were insufficient evidence of racial animus.

The legal standard the majority applied: courts cannot question the process immigration authorities use to revoke TPS, regardless of the statements accompanying that process. The practical consequence: 350,000 people who have lived here legally, worked, built families, enrolled children in schools - exposed to deportation to a country where four women returned in February were found beheaded. Viles Dorsainvil, who runs a support center for Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, said families are going to work, kids are going to school, and the Court just put all of it on stop. The Senate has a bipartisan House-passed bill sitting in front of it. They could act today.

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.

@AC360 The vandals have been identified. Multiple SUVs weighing several tons, some resembling President Trump's limo, were spotted driving ON THE fragile basin of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

President Trump has pointed to vandalism as the cause of the peeling blue sealant in the reflecting pool. NY Times investigative reporter David Fahrenthold reviewed internal government documents that suggest a different story. He shares what he found.

[Cuckturd @CattardSlim]

Trump said he needed more money for Secret Service, to protect his life while he's golfing & doing rallys.

Then he stole all the money for his Ballroom. $400 million.

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

As the country remembers Alan Greenspan, I’m thinking about the giant he was in economics and public service, but also the kindness, humor and humanity he showed me over the years. My heart is with his wife, Andrea, and everyone who loved him. May he rest in peace.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The price of Trump’s mad “excursion”: “Moody's Analytics estimates the war has cost U.S. consumers and taxpayers about $132 billion so far, and the meter is still running.”

The answer to these questions is as depressing as it is obvious because courage has become scarce.

Sending profuse thanks to the hundreds of thousands of Democrats in Maryland’s 8th District for making me your nominee for Congress again in November. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for your continuing solidarity and I will continue fighting every day for the values and needs of our people and to defend strong democracy, freedom and progress for everyone in America.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

SEN. DURBIN: Trump announced he would end war in Ukraine on his 1st day in office.

Instead, Trump and Vance publicly humiliated Zelenskyy and made embarrassing friendly overtures to Putin. Hard to understand.

Putin's response was to thumb his nose at U.S. and any peace efforts.

In fact, in recent months, Russia has launched some of the deadliest attacks on civilian targets since war in Ukraine began.

Russia has continued its acts of sabotage and provocation throughout NATO and Europe.

Not to mention its supplying of targeting information to Iran to hit U.S. interests in the region.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump said he wouldn't spend taxpayer $ on his tacky ballroom. I brought the receipts from @WHOMB:

✅ $340.8M on June 12
✅ ANOTHER $10.75 Million on June 12
✅ $45M on June 15

I asked top GOP appropriators if they knew.

Watch their pathetic attempt to feign ignorance.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

1/ Here it is - in one🧵

[Matthew Hunt @matthew_hu41905]

🚨 WHERE IS THE MONEY? Blundell reveals that Trump and his cronies gained access to the Kennedy Center’s accounts, and $17 million in operational funds has vanished! This is blatant looting of public institutions. We demand a full investigation now! 🔥😡

[Trey Yingst @TreyYingst]

President Trump spoke with the Iranians overnight warning them not to close the Strait.

"You close it and you won't have a country," Trump said he told Iranian officials. "You won't even make it back to your fu*king country."

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Trump can’t keep either the Strait of Hormuz or the Reflecting Pool open.
