Talarico: They have been shrinking Texas for three decades now, but that ends this year, in this election.

In November, we can make Texas big again. We can make Texas friendly again. We can make Texas Texas again.

We have the chance to take back our state from those billionaire mega-donors and their puppet politicians who stole it from us.

NEW EPISODE: A federal judge in Massachusetts just blocked Trump's executive order that would have let him use the Post Office to control who can vote by mail. This is a massive win for democracy — and it's not the only one. https://t.co/hT8xy0Vi0X

Thank you John Harwood for shoving a sock in this Trump’s talking piece trash mouth, Laura Ingraham! 🤣

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin says he'll file a discharge petition in an effort to force a House vote on his legislation to permanently block Trump's slush fund and the related Trump DOJ deal to bar investigation of his and his family's past tax activities.

this is corruption

Family members of US soldiers wounded in Iran were reportedly told by military personnel their loved ones only sustained 'minor injuries.'

Several families have said this was not true, and their loved ones were actually suffering severe shrapnel wounds and traumatic brain injuries.

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant.

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

Stanage: This is the only president in any of our lifetimes who has sought to overturn a democratic election by inciting a mob to do so. That is the person that we are now to believe is so exercised by protecting the integrity of the voting system that everything else has to stop to create it. That just doesn't seem plausible to me.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Democrat Nancy Lacore is officially the nominee in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District to replace Nancy Mace. Lacore is a Navy Admiral who was wrongly fired by Pete Hegseth during his insane purges of our Armed Services. Let's make sure Lacore wins!

"That's it?" -- Durbin confronts a Trump DOJ nominee named Konstantinos Ligris with some of his tweets -- including calling Walz "tampon Tim," Biden officials "retarded," and referring to cops as "dumb as dirt" -- and Ligris doesn't even try to defend them, leaving Durbin dumbfounded

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

More than 100 former judges have filed an ethics complaint against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging he has used the Justice Department to advance Donald Trump’s personal and political interests.

This is not a routine bar complaint.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Q: Congresswoman, how are you feeling? Are you afraid?

@RepLaMonica: Well, of course I am. I mean, I have the President of the United States and the Department of Justice trying to send me to jail for 17 years. That’s very frightening. I think that even the Department of Justice knows that this case is extremely bogus and that it makes no sense. But once again, the point of it all is cruelty. The process is the pain for them, and they enjoy that, and they’re watching me, go through that, you know, having to raise money for this case, that I’m not getting free dollars, you know, while they get to use your tax dollars to charge me. My family is stressed out about it. Obviously, I have a big belly bump in front of me, as you all can see. We should not be spending taxpayer dollars to prosecute members of Congress for them showing up to do their job.

How is letting admitted child molester Adam Hoffman back on our streets “protecting Texas families”?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Tillis: I’ve asked the police officers here: Do they feel like it was OK to give pardons to people who beat them and to prosecute people who, let’s assume for the sake of argument the facts are true, cut a pool lining and get 10 years?

You beat a cop, you get out free and potentially become eligible for restitution.

That seems unequal to me.

James Talarico: “People are tired of this politics as professional wrestling. You got these old guys lathered up in their fake tan throwing corny nicknames at each other. Those corny nicknames they don’t lower the price of groceries, the price of gas, the cost of housing and childcare and prescription drugs”

"How could the United States Senate confirm Tulsi Gabbard? How could it confirm Pete Hegseth? How could it confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? How could it confirm Kash Patel? The answer is as depressing as it is obvious because courage has become scarce."

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Trump on his bullsh*t ballroom:

"I don't need it through the Senate. I'm paying for it myself. I don't know what they're talking about, giving a billion? I don't need money from the Senate; I'm putting up my own money."

WTAF: Trump stole $352M for Secret Service training and used it to build the ballroom after failing to bully the Senate, trying to fire the parliamentarian is now GASLIGHTING and straight-up lying.
