Trump: Free Speech For Me, Government Approved Speech for You #ABlueView🧵1/3
How long do you think it'll be before SCOTUS will agree with Trump & overturn 249 years of settled First Amendment law in an unexplained, unconstitutional Shadow Docket decision?

tbh I gotta say I think Bill Clinton made way better use of this room
This image is Trump in a nutshell. The room they are in is just off the Oval and is designed as a private office for the President. Trump - who at his best, is an obsequious hotel manager - likes to give WH tours and is seen here showing off how he converted the office into a merch shop.

Gov. JB Pritzker is fighting fire with fire, supporting the Texas Democratic lawmakers after they left the state for Illinois to prevent a quorum — derailing the Republicans' plans to rig the midterm elections. Now, he's speaking out in a new interview with MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas.

If you are on the fence about participating in an event, this video should change your mind!
I was on the fence, but if Mark's in, I'm in. See y'all in the streets on Saturday.
This Saturday, June 14th, join one of the 1,800+ No Kings protests across the country. While Trump celebrates his birthday with a military parade in D.C. like a wannabe king, we'll be joining together to uphold our democracy and protect our rights! @indivisible.org #NoKingsDay

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Largest tax hike since WWII
JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

Congress should be speaking out about this every single day
I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as *** $20 MILLION *** worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy.

Fascinating read on status cheats (and why they do it)
I’ve written books about corruption at the top levels of power. But I am fascinated by why *ordinary* people engage in corrupt behavior purely for social clout, rather than money or power. Here’s my answer, with some amazing characters who went to bizarre lengths—to appear better than they were:
