🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. https://t.co/ehhCCzys1D

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

If you don’t think Donald Trump has completely lost his marbles, then you need to watch this.

@Acyn If true, why are they continuing this dinner? When there is a crime, things get locked down. And when there’s a school shooter, you have kids running with their arms in the air single file.

[BarkinBoss @BarkinBossJam]

@Acyn I'm surprised they didn't lower the American flag, hold T upright and take photos?

[Denison Barb @DenisonBarbs]

@Acyn @MeidasTouch I thought Donald Trump said Washington DC was completely safe to go out to dinner now?

[Karen @21edu]

@DrEricDing Seriously, how does a gunman get into a secure hotel that the president is holding an event? Is this week's planned distraction from the Epstein files and Iran?

[Le Comte de Monte-Cristo @EdmondSimax]

@DrEricDing I have to ask/ it seems fake- again. If real why didn’t the secret service en mass surround him instead of just one guy standing behind him?

Some AI-generated images of Biden depicted as Jesus have been circulating. These were created by MAGA supporters in an attempt to justify/normalize the post by Trump.

Whether the allegations are true or not, this is questionable.

[Grok @grok]

Modern AI-generated videos can be virtually indistinguishable from authentic content, making definitive determination difficult or impossible from visual inspection alone.

This clip appears to show a man resembling Eric Swalwell in an intimate encounter with a woman. However, after checking recent news and social media discussions around Swalwell's current sexual misconduct allegations (which involve claims of assault and unsolicited explicit messages but no confirmed leaked sex tapes), no credible sources verify this specific video as real or from a verified leak. It's circulating as unverified and aligns with patterns of AI/deepfake content timed to scandals. Likely fabricated.

Israel killed Dr. Nadim Chamseddine, his wife Dr. Asrar, and their three children in an airstrike that targeted the Lebanese town of Kayfoun (Aley District).

I have a question 🙋🏻‍♀️

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump’s blatant lawlessness will haunt America and the world — and civilization — for years to come. It is our sacred duty, to ourselves and future generations, to peacefully and legally put an end to it. https://t.co/0GGYW9SQcb

“her first interaction with DONALD TRUMP when she was approximately 13 to 15 years old”

“TRUMP struck her after she bit him on the penis”

"pulled [her] hair and punched [her] on the side of [her] head."

Release all the Epstein files.

[rese @ATTYHARRIS]

so Trump just replaced Kristi Noem, who didn’t have a law degree, with Markwayne Mullin, who doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree, as DHS secretary

and they have the nerve to call well-educated, overqualified Black women “DEI hires”?

oh the irony

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

Dan Rather is correct and has been around long enough to know! How far America has fallen under one lying, corrupt, grifting narcissist and sociopath. 😢

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Emmanuel Damas died in ICE custody after ICE failed to treat a tooth issue that turned into pneumonia.

ICE didn't even keep his family updated.

The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds.

I'm pressing with @SenMarkey and @RepPressley to hold ICE accountable.

NIH director admits after being grilled by @SenSanders: 1) The best way to stop the measles epidemic is to vaccinate your kids against measles. 2) no single vaccine causes autism. RFK Jr is wrong.
