Good reporting here from @BaileeTucker_TV — are we having a clothing voucher program for low income kids or ?? After Gov. Morrisey said he may have to cut funding for the program, the voucher didn’t start today as planned. State isn’t answering questions. https://t.co/RWpGN7kAat

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

Supreme Court Lets Sex Abuse Verdict STAND against President Trump

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

A man who owes a woman $5 million for sexual assault and was besties with a pedophile should STFU about protecting women and girls.

On July 1, Trump will increase student loan payments up to $4,000 a year.

1 in 4 borrowers will soon be in default.
9 million borrowers could have their wages garnished.
Hundreds of thousands of seniors could have their Social Security checks garnished.

CONGRESS MUST ACT NOW.

@OLearySW Still not sure why we need a Ferris Wheel when we get to ride Gov. Puffed-Up Toad's Wild and Wonderful Ride every day...

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

During my time as Attorney General, my office has recovered over $627 million for Medicaid and was recognized by this very administration for leading the nation in anti-fraud efforts.

We are considering all legal options to stop this outrageous action.

@mtnstspotlight It's too late for Mason County but there's still time for the rest of WV.

[Mountain State Spotlight @mtnstspotlight]

Almost 40 years ago, West Virginia residents fought against out-of-state garbage dumping by organizing and lobbying the legislature. Today, communities could use those same lessons to push back against the surge of new data center projects.

As progressives, we have to lead the fight against Trump and his disastrous policies. But that's not the only struggle we face.

We must also transform the Democratic Party into a party which represents working families and the young, not just wealthy campaign contributors.

After an infant reported to be in foster care was found dead (criminal complaint said both bio mom and foster mom used drugs around baby), Gov. Morrisey told me he hasn’t requested an investigation but said he continues to work on CPS reforms.

Trump White House officials secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500 million for the construction of Trump's ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by WaPo. https://t.co/pd7pS9IOXD

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

Now let's acknowledge how absurd it is that we had to ask whether a president can nullify the Constitution by executive order.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's that there's too much money in politics.

But the Supreme Court just decided to demolish some of the last safeguards we had left - creating an even bigger role for special interest spending.

We must do whatever it takes - including a constitutional amendment if necessary - to combat the influence of money in our political system.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The Constitution barely survived today.

By a 5-4 vote, Trump’s Supreme Court declined to let him rewrite the Constitution and end birthright citizenship.

We’re hanging on by a thread. The fight to defend our democracy is far from over.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

The Trump Administration is floating scenarios that could put armed ICE agents at polling places.
Federal law prohibits armed federal personnel from being deployed where elections are being held. We cannot allow security concerns to become a pretext for election interference.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench.

It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."
…
"In holding otherwise, the Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once-coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Europe is suffering through its worst heat wave in recorded history.

This week, 3 dozen U.S. states will likely see record-breaking temperatures.

No, Mr. Trump. Climate change is not a “hoax.”

We must stop fossil fuel industry greed and save the planet.
