Mitch McConnell called this afternoon. I didn’t pick up.
Todd Blanche is thwarting the court order to release the remaining Epstein files. Clearly, he is in violation and should be held in contempt. Ultimately, he should be disbarred! #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks substack.com/@katiephang/...

NEW: Todd Blanche claims the DOJ won’t produce additional docs or unredact them b/c the original redactions & withholdings were appropriate & he wants to protect the privacy of victims…despite already...

WE FOUND THE ELECTION FRAUD‼️ Ken Paxton may have violated Texas election law by voting from an address where he allegedly didn’t live. Under Texas law, knowingly voting while ineligible is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
You all keep fighting for us, and we just want to do the same. The way you care about our parks, forests, and wildlife inspires us every single day.
It’s crazy that Americans have such a fucked government that we can’t even get a confirmation if one of our elected representatives is alive or not

It's always about protection. And, "Do as I say. Not as I do."
Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social · 4w agoIndicted racist crook Ken Paxton voted in several elections using an address that he never lived in even though warns Texans against voting illegally. This is why fascist republicans pretend to go after voter fraud, because they’re the ones doing it. Assholes.
The Hawaii thing is a big deal so of course the Koch’s want to kill it
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoHawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress. It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress.
🔥 SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq war, it’s a war built on lies. The ‘America first’ President who said he would end foreign wars, now he says all we can afford is war.”
Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says Trump threw him under the bus. “If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Cornyn says. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants.“ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

If historians ever compile a "The Stupidest Things Politicians Ever Said" list, how can "I love inflation" not be at the top?
We don't need to defeat 20k ICE agents. We need to make it so they don't want to be ICE agents anymore.
Absolutely. Men do deals rather than making things better. We also need election reform. IE: Every candidate has a defined pot of money, not corp donors and pacs. End CU. Campaigns <6 months = > working, less schmoozing. Top-two, mail in, auto registration = parties don't have a stranglehold.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 4mo agoIndeed—Elect more women!
The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.
Who could’ve anticipated that MAGA would someday get to this place?
