Trump just vetoed legislation for a pipeline project that would've brought clean water to southeastern Colorado.
The bill's sponsor, Lauren Boebert, voted to release the Epstein files.
Her scathing statement, in part, says, "I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution."

Kristi Noem is living free of charge in Coast Guard commandant’s home
A DHS spokesman said Noem must live on the military base because she had been “so horribly doxxed and targeted that she is no longer able to safely live in her own apartment.”

The graciousness of Sinner and Alcaraz in victory and defeat at Wimbledon. I know some of it's pro forma. But to see these days a civilized, and mutually admiring, exchange between a winner and a loser...Much to be emulated.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

It’s important to remember that the Parkland shooting was more than just a failure of our country and our school system,
It was a law enforcement failure.
There was an armed officer on campus tasked with keeping kids safe.
He ran away.
He faced no consequences.
His name is Scot Peterson.
