NEW: Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed a GOP bill that would require voters with felony convictions to pay all legal fees before their right to vote is restored. In vetoing the bill, Evers keeps his promise to never sign legislation making it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballot.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Don't lose track of other things that are important in all Trump's chaos
Like the fact that his defense lawyer & DOJ hatchet man Emil Bove has a hearing on Wed. in the Senate for a lifetime judicial appointment on the 3rd circuit
From there the next stop could be SCOTUS! Now is the time to fight👇

The Senate must reject Emil Bove's nomination to the federal bench. His reprehensible conduct at the Justice Department disqualifies him from a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

🚩 The same “Appeal to Heaven” flag carried by January 6th rioters now flies over a federal building: the Small Business Administration, led by Trump’s pick Kelly Loeffler.
Christian nationalism is not subtle anymore. This is not normal.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Remembering today the brave souls who stormed the beaches of Normandy and parachuted behind enemy lines to defeat the hateful tyranny of Nazi Germany on June 6, 1944. More than 4,400 were killed and more than 10,000 were wounded. Imagine what history would look like without their sacrifice.

Phang: There’s a Texas Tribune article that reveals that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.—even though the administration wanted to label them as terrorists before deporting them.

Man, a travel ban feels so quaint after everything else he has already done this time around.
note: this is not an assertion that either the 2017 travel ban or this one is no big deal, because they are both appalling and unconstitutional and borne of racism and anti-Muslim fervor.
