Congratulations to Dr. Adam Hamawy on his landslide victory tonight in the New Jersey 12th district Democratic primary.

Dr. Hamawy will be a strong progressive voice in the House and, as a physician, he understands our healthcare system is broken and we need Medicare for All.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Congratulations to @turek4iowa on his win tonight. Josh is one of the grittiest and most determined people you will ever meet. Watch this video to learn about his story. Iowa has several hugely consequential election this cycle and Josh could use your help to win.

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.

In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.

All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!

This is sick.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Appointing Pulte, who has criminally targeted Trump's opponents and has zero experience, to be Director of National Intelligence, shows we have a mafia government.

The naked corruption is crazy and frightening.

Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic Governor primary.

If elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized".

That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Literally the only explanation for why Trump would install Pulte in this position is to have him use the resources and authorities of the US intelligence community against his political enemies. Democrats should fight this tooth and nail starting with Section 702 reauthorization

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

It’s like a meth family moved in….

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

More than 6,300 children under 18, some as young as two months old, have been detained by federal immigration authorities during President Trump's second term. Nearly half have been detained at Dilley.  Ninety-seven percent had no criminal record. https://t.co/mWGSInWHda

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Let's be direct about this.

The Trump family has turned our government into their personal piggy bank.

It’s appalling.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Trump really can go fuck himself. 🤬

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

The DOJ is literally investigating a sexual assault survivor, E Jean Carroll, instead of a single perpetrator in the Epstein files.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

So the "ballroom" will have a bunker underneath and a "DronePort" on top. It's not just a childish extravagance. It will be a kind of military encampment.

All the more reason, obviously, for Congress to stop it.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨This is one of the most disturbing ICE brutality videos I’ve seen in a long time…

Another angle of this incident shows ICE agents suddenly rushing protesters outside the Newark ICE Facility, then continuously shoving U.S. citizens toward the wheels of a MOVING TRUCK…

until an activist’s LEG is run over.

And the most disturbing part?

The protesters are not charging the agents… The agents are the ones creating the escalation.

And not only that, they are forcing civilians backward toward a MOVING VEHICLE, escalating a situation that was not violent until THEY made it violent.

That is reckless, dangerous force.

So, let’s go over the obvious constitutional violations happening in this video…

1. First Amendment violations, because Americans have the constitutional right to peacefully protest the government.

2. Fourth Amendment violations, because federal agents cannot use excessive or objectively unreasonable force against nonviolent civilians.

3. Fifth Amendment due process concerns, because the government cannot arbitrarily target, intimidate, or assault citizens exercising protected rights.

4. Federal officers can also face liability under 18 U.S. Code § 242 for depriving people of constitutional rights “under color of law.”

When armed federal agents create chaos themselves, then use that chaos to justify violence against civilians, that is an abuse of power.

Call your representatives.
Demand accountability.
