Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

I’m always a little extra proud to be a Mainer on July 2nd.

On this day in 1863, the 20th Maine Volunteer Regiment stood on the battlefield at Gettysburg.

Against the odds and nearly out of ammunition, they fixed their bayonets and charged ahead, securing a victory that helped turn the tide of the Civil War.

Mainers have never been afraid to fight for a better America.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Hey so marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and leading with a chant saying “we support Hamas” is a disgusting and antisemitic thing to do.

Pretty basic!

Sheriff Rochelle Bilal calls ICE “fake, made up law enforcement,” and pledges to arrest agents who commit crimes in Philadelphia:

“No law enforcement professional wears a mask … You don’t want this smoke.”

The Free Press is one of the least curious media outlets on earth. Every article is a collection of anecdotes that adds up to their priors. Almost no new info or reporting that would challenge their audience. If you fell for Weiss’s edgy journo act it’s likely bc you wanted to. It’s not bc of the work

[Lt. Governor Ghazala Hashmi @ltgovhashmi]

I have lived in Virginia for over 30 years; my daughters were born and raised right here in Richmond. I am not surprised — but will not be deterred — by the bigotry from our Governor.

Ghazala Hashmi is an American name. On Tuesday, we will show him what Virginia stands for.

EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in a 2022 interview warned supporters of reproductive rights that "one day it’s going to be your turn."

"Murder is murder. And one day it's going to be your turn."

Bernie Sanders and AOC do a joint video explaining their view of the shutdown.

You deserve a break on Sundays that doesn’t break the bank.

@ktumulty Honestly, give it up, Karen

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

I have to say I have been struck that the prominent members of the financial community have had more to say being critical of @ZohranKMamdani's bad ideas about grocery stores in New York than they have the wholesale takeover of the @FederalReserve, which is a major threat to the financial system. I am very worried that highly irresponsible behaviors are being normalized by what President @realDonaldTrump is doing and by the failure of the establishment and of traditional voices.

She was right. And the pundits who accused her of hyperbole should hang their heads in shame and offer profuse apologies to those of us who warned about what was coming.

[Wes Moore @iamwesmoore]

Did Donald Trump, the President of the United States, lie about an injury to dodge the Vietnam draft?

[Wes Moore @iamwesmoore]

President Bone Spurs will do anything to get out of walking – even if that means spouting off more lies about the progress we’re making on public safety in Maryland.

Hey Donald, we can get you a golf cart if that makes things easier. Just let my team know.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Some people may not like how Gavin Newsom is talking. You may not find his posts funny.

But, here's the deal: It is absolutely working.

And, he's putting Donald Trump on the defense.
