Why are we paying for these scumbags?

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!

Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.

Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Hey y’all see the 17 year old Target employee who was abducted by ICE from his job despite being a United States citizen and telling them that, and they shoved him in the car and when they confirmed he was indeed a US citizen then pushed him out of the car in a Walmart parking lot 8 minutes away from where they abducted him. And he’s stumbling and sobbing while bystanders ask if he’s okay (at the Walmart after being pushed out of the car) and he’s sobbing saying “no I’m not okay, they slammed me on the ground.” And he’s bleeding.

A 17 year old kid.

RATM released Evil Empire 29 years ago today featuring a young Elon Musk on the cover.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. https://t.co/jvBzeJwEuy

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

@DGlaucomflecken I think the CEO must have gotten a little nervous after this week’s events.

[John A. Cieslak III, MD, PhD @JohntheLab]

@dr_cellini @PennOrtho I hope this is real - it’s epic.

I voted by mail – it was easy and a great excuse to say hi to some neighbors. If you're voting by mail like me, get your ballot in the mail right away. No matter how you vote, make sure you have a plan and get it done: https://t.co/V3uLF7Ypg1

Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player – one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time. But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBA’s first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembe’s family and everyone who knew and loved him.
