Trump just stripped protections from millions of acres at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.
Indigenous people have fought for these sacred lands for generations. The Trump administration is once again handing our sacred homelands and public lands over to billionaires and corporations.
I've fought for these lands before — and won. We're not stopping now.
FAQ of the week: “What's up with the brown water in the Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park fountain?”
➡️ NPS repaired and turned on the two fountains on the upper plaza (by Joan of Arc/drum circle) for the first time in many, many years
➡️ NPS has described this as a “miracle” and really it is fantastic to see
➡️ This began to flush rust and sediment out of those long-dormant pipes
➡️ Those two fountains are connected to the big cascading fountain, so the rusty water is flowing through the entire system
➡️ NPS’s contractor has been working to clear the water & they’re hopeful that will be complete today-ish

There is absolutely NO reason to slam that boy's head on stone. He was already restrained.
There was NO reason to point their tasers at people observing. They weren't obstructing.
These ICE thugs have to be brought to justice!
Three Florida Republicans were just charged with creating a fake voter guide to steal an election.
They did not hack the machines. They did not stuff the ballot box. They printed a fake Republican voter guide, made it look nearly identical to the real one, and mailed it to tens of thousands of voters before a 2024 primary.
It worked. An incumbent won by fewer than 1,000 votes. Now three elected officials in St. Johns County, Florida are facing criminal charges for it.
There is so much diversity in the new recruits sworn in to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. There are white men, white women, tall white people, short white people, white people with glasses, white people without glasses, white people with blonde hair and white brunettes!.
We've cut off trade w Spain. No nore Olive Oil. Wine, oranges, lemons, olives, tomatoes peppers. Pharmaceuticals and chemicals. industrial equipment. Motor vehicles & automotive parts
Ceramics and tiles, leather goods. Seafood, including canned tuna, anchovies, and shellfish. Bye
While you were sleeping, Trump had a complete meltdown at the NATO summit in Turkey, ranting and raving that "Spain is a wasted cause" led by "bad people," claiming "Greenland is a big problem for us" and the US should've kept it after World War 2, and adding that Iran is led by "scum" and the ceasefire is over
All the while, Mark Rutte nodded along and lavished America's mad would-be dictator with praise
Here's a supercut of the surreal scenes:
.@RepLouCorrea: A Texas nun was ARRESTED BY ICE while walking to Sunday Mass.
Not because she was a threat. Because this administration is chasing an arbitrary deportation quota.
Is arresting nuns making America safe?
People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…
An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.
Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸
MAGA Fanatic Accused of Twisted Sex Acts at Trump’s ‘State Fair’ https://t.co/hCV5Uvre9X via @thedailybeast. #USD#DV1#DemsUnited
Trump’s ‘State Fair’ was so poorly attended and boring that a MAGA streamer known as ‘Manny’ felt comfortable enough to openly masturbate while watching female acrobats.
As expected Republicans Pedo Protection Unit went into high gear defending the disgusting pervert.
How do you fuck up the 250th this badly?
It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty.
This regime is such a bizarre tragicomedy.
ICE went into a polling place Tuesday (which is illegal) to track down a woman and demand she remove an Instagram post that identified Jonathan Ross as the ICE agent who killed Renee Good (which is correct and has been widely reported).
Do we have a First Amendment anymore?
"We don't do this to get rich... We do it because we love God and country."
Marine Corps veteran Timothy Lewis gets emotional reflecting on what service and sacrifice truly mean while speaking at the Great American State Fair.
"There's not a rich soldier out there. It's sacrifice. Time. Body. Emotion. The future. Because we're willing to give it up for the next generation."
"For this entitled crew that we have now, they don't understand what the meaning of sacrifice is."
Lewis says too many people have forgotten the cost paid by those who "died, bled, suffered and did without," adding that by meeting veterans at the State Fair, people still "walk among heroes" every day.
Police have released footage of a woman allegedly dipping her hand into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after it mysteriously turned green with algae just days following a $16 million renovation.
