BREAKINGNEWS: A Federal Judge denies the Department of Justice request to receive voter information from the State of Pennsylvania.
Why is this administration trying so hard to intrude on states rights and voters rights? For that matter anything unconstitutional. @marceelias 🚨
White House enhancements that Trump said he would pay for, like replacing a walkway and repairing masonry, have in fact cost taxpayers $689,232.
The admin has slashed spending on many national parks and redirected money instead to D.C.-area improvements — what Park Service employees say is "a quiet crisis unfolding."

Organizers for the North Carolina booth at Trump's partisan event, the Great American State Fair, had to remove an image of a Confederate flag displayed in the state's pavilion on the National Mall.
The state didn't put it up.
At least one sponsor has pulled out. https://t.co/nj0tuuKMbM
Less than 24 hours after RFK Jr. became health secretary, his press secretary delivered an order from him to the CDC: Take down your ad campaign promoting flu vaccines.
That same day, the CDC reported that influenza-related ailments that season had killed 68 children — 11 that week alone — and 16,000 people overall. https://t.co/u4BT4NZGOt
@kylegriffin1@Limeylizzie This happens to normal people all the time too. Being reported to CPS is practically a parenting rite of passage in the US now. I know so many families who have been falsely reported. The system has been weaponized.
@kylegriffin1 The point of CPS is child protection, not political intimidation. Weaponizing a protective system does two harms at once: it terrorizes the target and corrodes trust in the system real children may need.
Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk.
The kids are not and were not at risk. https://t.co/I6N44ruHbe
A federal judge has ordered the Trump Justice Department to release more Epstein files — concluding that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is violating the law Congress passed to make Epstein documents public.
BREAKING on MS NOW:
House Oversight Chair James Comer says he just issued two subpoenas to billionaire and Epstein associate Leon Black — after he refused to answer questions about allegations that he signed NDAs with young women.
One subpoena is for Black to appear for a deposition under oath on July 16. The other is for the NDAs themselves.
A federal judge rejected the Justice Department's attempt to end a lawsuit challenging Trump's slush fund — saying she didn't trust assertions by administration officials that the fund would not move forward.
They know they can’t win fairly, so now they’re trying to control who gets a ballot. This rule change makes it so that Trump's goons decide who gets a ballot.
"It calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that Postal Service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility."
FLAG: The Postmaster General confirmed at a Senate hearing that under a new proposed rule, the Postal Service would not deliver mail-in ballots in states that decline to hand over sensitive data about voters to the federal government.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: If Democrats win the 2026 midterms, they plan to pass a bill called the Alex Pretti Act that will end qualified immunity for ICE agents, allowing them to be sued or jailed for wrongdoing
Damn. @RepTedLieu just outright said it.
Yesterday, a STAT News item about an unnamed "79-year-old" patient receiving a new drug went viral, being as it was published just after Trump's 80th birthday party.
Lieu, who is not shy about challenging Trump in plain terms — and who ought to be an example for his colleagues on that front — questioned why the President decided to hold bipartisan housing legislation hostage in an ongoing attempt to rig the midterms.
"When Donald Trump decides he's not coming to sign the bill, well, why is that? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Is he unable to stay awake today? What's causing him to chicken out again? Is it TACO Wednesday, or is it side effects from a drug?" Lieu asked, but he was far from done with the topic.
After referencing Trump's increasingly erratic and reckless behavior, he continued.
"He has trouble staying awake at multiple White House events and cabinet meetings, he has clearly some weakness in one of his arms, he's got swelling in his hands, and the White House needs to come clean.
"[There was a] report saying that one person in America got this special new drug. It was a 79-year-old person who's very high profile, and this drug can only be given to someone under the compassionate use provision, meaning you do that if someone basically has a terminal illness," Lieu continued.
More Democrats need to be as bold and truthful as Rep. Lieu.
This is a Jenga block tower of gargantuan coverups, and we appear to be watching it slowly collapse.
Good. Keep pulling, America.
