MAINE— Killer ICE Agent’s ex: “He wanted me to lie about his character. I won’t. He abused me and my daughter… I’ve waited years to speak my truth, and now a man is dead.” They are hiring the worst of the worst.

Congresswoman AOC has introduced a bill that would ban Supreme Court Justices from accepting lavish gifts from the ultra wealthy. Love that, but what I find insane is that this isn’t already illegal.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

I must be going to different restaurants. I have never been asked to show ID to eat.

Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy."

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

FYI: If you have an active Naval blockade, there's not a ceasefire. So even if you claim a ceasefire pauses the War Powers Resolution 60-day clock, there's not a ceasefire right now.

“The name of [an ICE] officer accused of strangling a man in Fitchburg during an immigration arrest has been revealed in court, despite the federal government’s attempts to keep his identity a secret. The officer’s name is David Jackson, an acting supervisory detention and deportation officer.”

masslive.comJudge denies request to hide identity of ICE officer in Fitchburg arrestThe judge called the request by the federal government "wildly overbroad."

The same day SCOTUS dismantled the Voting Rights Act, I watched Kamala Harris take the stage at the Douglas Awards. She didn’t offer comfort; she offered real talk 🔥 “This is how they play. They are strategic. They think long-term and they are ruthless…we have to be ruthless too.”

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservative court basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and a stain on the court.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Voters don’t need to “remember” anything. They see every day what they are paying for gas, groceries, electricity and everything else and they see Republicans prioritizing taxpayer money for Trump’s ballroom bunker palace. They will take that to the ballot box. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Johnson: "I hope voters remember this in the fall. You've gotta keep the grownups in charge, and that's the Republicans."
