We lost Rep. John Lewis 6 years ago. 1 of the greatest civil rights HEROES. I never met him in 38 trips to Congress for healthcare. I will TREASURE the words he shared with me re: my advocacy via his staff. His dancing in the video makes me HAPPY when I'm in pain. REST IN POWER🙏

@allenanalysis And this is why they hate him. Bc they could NEVER IMAGINE not profiting as much as possible while in a position of power and influence. They are losers and Mamdani makes them all look as they are and he’s opening Americans eyes to what the government is supposed to be doing!!

So about that speech:🧵

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.

I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.

Our answer will be overwhelming.

Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.

The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.

BREAKING: "CARNIVAL OF CORRUPTION” — Buttigieg exposes the rigged system crushing working Americans in FIERY Iowa speech.

Pete Buttigieg went to Iowa this weekend and didn't hold back in attacking the state of our country under the administration of Dangerous Donnie Trump.

Speaking as the keynote at the Iowa Democratic Party's "Liberty and Justice Celebration" in Altoona, the former Transportation Secretary laid out, in brutal and specific terms, exactly why Americans feel like the system is rigged against them — because it is.

"Our economy is unfair because our politics is unfair," Buttigieg told the crowd. "You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C. today."

Then he named names, without naming names. Corporate dark money flooding every campaign. Members of Congress trading stocks on votes that move markets. "The leader of the free world flying around in a second-hand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders." A Supreme Court that ruled a president "could not be held accountable" even for using the government to murder someone. Nine out of ten House races so thoroughly gerrymandered that the outcome is decided before a single vote is cast — in a country that's split nearly 50-50.

"This is not an academic concern," Buttigieg said. "This is why we can't have nice things."

He connected the dots Americans feel every single day: why you pay more at the pump for a war nobody asked for, why the Department of Education is being burned down while kids can't read or do basic math. This is what unchecked corruption looks like in practice — it shows up in your wallet, your kids' classrooms, your gas tank.

Buttigieg didn't just diagnose the problem — he called for real structural fixes: abolishing the Electoral College, restoring legitimacy to a Supreme Court that's lost the public's trust, and a constitutional amendment to kill the dark money unleashed by Citizens United.

He also threw his full weight behind Rob Sand, Iowa's Democratic candidate for governor, calling him a "sworn enemy of waste, fraud and abuse" with the receipts to prove it.

Buttigieg's warning was simple and urgent: something that can't go on forever won't. "It will stop one way or the other, reform or catastrophe. And it better be reform."

Iowa Democrats heard him loud and clear. Let’s hope the rest of Iowa — and the nation — are paying attention too!

Please like and share to spread Pete Buttigieg’s message!

🚨 Erling Haaland refuses to throw Sørloth under the bus after Norway's defeat to England. 🇳🇴

🗣️ Erling Haaland:

Alexander Sørloth is a great player and, more importantly, a very good friend of mine. Football is a game of decisions, and sometimes you make the right one, sometimes you don't.

People watching from home have time to slow everything down and analyse every angle, but on the pitch you have a split second to make a decision. That's football.

I'll never blame him for that moment because we've all been in those situations. Every player has made a decision they wish they could take back.

I'm proud of what we've achieved as a team. Reaching the World Cup quarter-finals was something very few people believed we could do before the tournament started.

We gave our country something to be proud of. We fought for every badge, every shirt and every supporter who believed in us.

Losing to England wasn't because of one pass or one missed opportunity. We created chances throughout the game. We had moments where we could have scored, and they had moments where they punished us.

That's football. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you never point fingers at one teammate. We win together, and we lose together.

I'll always stand by Alexander, just as I know he'd stand by me. That's what being teammates is all about.

We leave this tournament disappointed, but also proud. This is only the beginning for Norway, and we'll come back stronger.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Buttigieg: So let me ask you a version of the question that I asked everybody when I was running around this state eight years ago, when nobody could say my name right, which is: What’s it going to be like the first time the sun comes up over this country and the current president has permanently left the political scene?

It’s an appealing thing to remember that that day will come, but it also represents a huge challenge. Because what do we do then? Then what?

The answer to that is what we’ve got to hold in our minds right now to campaign and to win—and, most importantly, to govern. Because we need to immediately get to work to build something better.

Like a political system where everyone’s vote counts the same, and the person who gets the most votes wins the election. It looks like a Supreme Court that is legitimate and trustworthy in the eyes of the American people. It looks like a Congress composed of representatives who actually represent the people they serve, capable of standing up to abuses from other parts of the government. And it means state and federal governments capable of standing up for people’s rights.

The right to live your life as you see fit, so long as you’re not hurting anyone else. The right to carry a sign or write an op-ed or criticize your government. The right to make your own health care decisions. The right to be who you are and love who you love and raise your family in peace.

That’s what it looks like. And it’s not too much to ask. And it’s not too much to ask for public integrity.

Norway's youth sports model is super unique:

• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year

The result?

A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).

And it's not just winter sports...

Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).

So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

ICE agents killed a man in cold blood at a traffic stop in Houston who had been in this country for 35 years. His son heard about it on a Facebook post and recognized his father’s voice, pleading for help as they left him to bleed out on the street.

If you don’t think ice are the American Gestapo listen to my friend, Werner Reich who was taken by the Nazis when he was 14 years old and put in three different death camps. He was in Auschwitz the year I was born 1944.

I have filmed Holocaust survivors for many years. Their stories have never been more important. #neveragainisnow

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

@MysterySolvents Shredded Dignity.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

JUST. FUCKING. WOW. The humility, decency, and integrity of Jack Smith came across loud and clear. This career prosecutor is an American hero. Jack Smith is the antithesis of the depravity, corruption, and moral bankruptcy of Trump, Todd Blanche, the DOJ, and Kash Patel.

Here is a synopsis of Jack Smith's first televised news interview since he criminally charged the most corrupt president in American history, Donald Trump.

Core Pillars of the Interview

ㆍ The Fragility of the Rule of Law: Smith warned that the rule of law is under an unprecedented attack, declaring it is "different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime." He explained that democratic systems do not run on autopilot and rely entirely on the good-faith commitment of people inside public institutions to uphold them.

ㆍ Consistency Over Politics: He reiterated that a healthy democracy requires investigating cases by focusing strictly on the facts and the law, applying the exact same standards regardless of political affiliation.

ㆍ Defending Career Public Servants: Smith spoke passionately about the career prosecutors, FBI agents, and support staff who are being "demonized for doing their jobs" by political figures. He expressed that he feels "terrible" about how they are being treated.

ㆍ The Call to Support Them: He emphasized the moral necessity for regular citizens to stand up for these civil servants, stating, "It's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there who back them and who are with them."

ㆍ The Danger of Lost Trust: Smith noted that the loss of institutional trust has a dangerous "cascading effect" on the legal system, warning that when judges and the public lose faith in prosecutors, the Justice Department loses its ability to perform basic functions.

Warnings About Upcoming Elections

ㆍ Deeply Concerned for the Future: When asked directly if the country is witnessing a real-time assault on the upcoming election cycle, Smith explicitly stated, "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."

ㆍ Bad Actors Have Adapted: He warned that individuals who attempted to subvert the 2020 election have likely learned from past failures, adapting their strategies to be more effective next time.

ㆍ State Attorneys General Must Step Up: Smith emphasized that the federal apparatus cannot be the sole line of defense, noting that state attorneys general now have a massive responsibility to enforce the rule of law within their own state borders to protect voting integrity.

Anticipating Personal Retaliation & Indictment

ㆍ Expecting Retaliation: Wallace asked Smith point-blank if he expects to be criminally indicted by the current Trump administration.

ㆍ A Distinct Possibility: Smith acknowledged that an indictment "could happen," given the administration's vocal hostility toward him and the likely use of the Justice Department to target him directly.

ㆍ Refusing to Back Down: Despite the threat of prosecution, he declared, "I am not going to be intimidated. We did our work, pursuant to department policy... I'm not going to pretend that didn't happen because they are threatening me."

How Legal Experts & Media Analysts Reacted

ㆍ An Extraordinary and Historic Moment: Commentators and legal analysts noted that a public media tour by a former Special Counsel defending the DOJ's integrity against a sitting president is entirely unprecedented in modern political history.

ㆍ Nostalgia for Institutional Norms: Media figures reacted strongly to the broadcast, expressing a sense of nostalgia for a time when the Department of Justice operated under strict, non-partisan legal norms. Smith was praised as a rare, authoritative voice willing to publicly champion rank-and-file civil servants.

ㆍ Composure Under Extreme Pressure: Legal observers highlighted Smith’s calm, professional, and articulate demeanor during the broadcast. Analysts noted that his refusal to get defensive or angry stands as a model for how public officials should handle intense political weaponization.
