For #July4, #ZohranMamdani takes on #MAGA:

“America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes,” the mayor continued. “America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.”

“How small they are,” Mamdani remarked. “How weak, how unoriginal. At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power for themselves by turning us against one another.”

Oh look, even more #corruption from #Trump https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-abbott-laboratories

"Donald #Trump personally earning $1.4 billion from a family #cryptocurrency business that benefits from his administration’s lenient crypto policies (much of those crypto purchases coming directly from a foreign government) is less well known to the public than whatever wild thing he said on his personal social media site the night before." https://prospect.org/2026/07/02/platner-collins-peculiar-definition-of-political-scandal/

"Taken together, the actions signal a worrying return to a reality where people with #disabilities are pushed to the margins of society, advocates said." https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/122002

#TrumpAdministration

"As #Republicans rammed their so-called #OneBigBeautifulBill through Congress last year on the way to President Donald Trump’s desk, opponents of the legislation sounded the alarm over the pain it would inflict upon working families for the benefit of the wealthiest Americans. One year in, those warnings have borne out—and experts say the worst is yet to come." https://www.commondreams.org/news/obbba-warnings-prove-true

"This court has to be dealt with and this movement that brought us here has to be stopped." --Chris Hayes. #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship #14th Amendment

My look at the latest #TrumpAdministration horror: "#OMB’s proposed rule explicitly bars funding for anything connected to #diversity, equity and inclusion. It even seeks to police the actions and behavior of funding recipients on their own time, cutting off money to anyone affiliated with a group the administration considers 'anti-American,' defined so vaguely that it could mean anything the party in power doesn’t like. That could be membership in a #CivilRights organization, an #environmental group or a group supporting #LGBTQ people." https://48hills.org/2026/06/politicized-federal-funding-rule-could-spell-disaster-for-california-aid-programs/

About today's #SCOTUS ruling on #trans athletes: "And though the majority deliberately avoided saying that blue states must discriminate against transgender people under Title IX, its holding leaves wide lanes for the Trump administration to pressure schools and colleges through funding threats and investigations, and for far-right organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom to file lawsuits targeting trans-inclusive policies in every state in the country." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/supreme-court-rules-title-ix-means

#SCOTUS really, really wants a dictatorship: "The US Supreme Court on Monday upheld President Donald Trump’s firing of Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, overturning 90 years of precedent and giving the chief executive what dissenting Justice Sonia Sotomayor called 'a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted.'” https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-v-slaughter

#ElonMusk is a murderer, and now he's lying about it. https://www.commondreams.org/news/musk-dead-children-usaid

"An opaque #WhiteHouse office staffed largely by veterans of #ElonMusk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) has quietly rebuilt some of the federal government’s most sensitive websites – for passport applications, voter registration, prescription-drug pricing and children’s savings – in ways critics say appear to violate federal law." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/28/government-website-visitor-tracking-surveillance-fears

Everyone, please consider the implications here. The #CDC, supported by our U.S. tax dollars, refused to publish a perfectly valid study -- now published by a highly respected journal -- because it conflicted with #RFKJr's #antivax views. #ImpeachRFKJr
