[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.

We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

Everyone born on American soil is a citizen, especially corporations.

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

David Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, told CNN his nephew is an “immigration hypocrite”:

“Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would not exist” (2018)

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

BREAKING: A 63-year-old has died in ICE custody, marking the 51st death in detention since Trump retook office.

Just saw this image going around:

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Do you think Republicans can square their support for ending birthright citizenship with the USMNT whose top scorer is a birthright citizen?

Norman: Those are two separate issues—sports and policy.

PabloReports: Do you think the World Cup coach is taking an American job? He’s from Argentina.

Norman: That’s a separate issue. It doesn’t matter where he’s from.

PabloReports: What if he was a doctor? Or a construction worker?

Norman: That’s two separate issues.

PabloReports: What makes sports different?

Norman: With sports, you gauge on wins and losses. A construction worker is not a specialized field like sports is.

Wow. A Lancet study says Elon Musk will have killed 14 million people by 2030. Lancet is the world's top medical journal.

🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration https://t.co/WA59TUHa59

Breaking! Senate decides to do its job... finally.

@capncap666 @AP what is the mechanism for ensuring rights are not violated the court is proposing? Or are they just like, rights you've got em, I guess, maybe, or not.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

A recently released Justice Department memo questions decades of protections for Americans with disabilities. The DOJ says states aren’t required to provide home and community-based services that have long kept disabled Americans out of institutions, if they would benefit from these other services.

It’s the latest effort by the Trump administration to shift longstanding practices for the disability community.

@AliRogin has more.

Today:

1. A judge blocks Trump's Tim Walz and Jacob Frey subpoeanas

2. A judge blocks Trump's federal citizenship voter list

3. A judge blocks DOJ's bid to get Maryland voter rolls

Hide the ketchup!

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.

Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.

So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.

He’s weak. Finish him.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:

Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. 

Spread the word. Stand up for science.
