He really does run to the Supreme Court with emergency filings every chance he gets. Trump just asked the Supreme Court to overturn the $83.3 million jury award against him for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll after a jury found he made false and damaging statements about her.

Update: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell to “directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.”

Thank you, Governor Beshear!

This is ridiculous! In a setback for voters, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has affirmed parts of a lower court’s ruling involving President Trump’s executive order on mail voting. The decision allows key portions of the order to remain in place for now, including directives that:

Well, this isn’t good. The Trump administration has filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court after a federal appeals court blocked key parts of its executive order restricting mail-in voting.

A win! It’s already falling apart. A key grand jury witness testified that the area around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was already damaged and would have needed repairs regardless of the actions allegedly taken by former Olympic canoeist Casey Eichfeld.

The resistance isn’t a moment, it’s millions of everyday people refusing to stay silent.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, or helped spread the word. Because of your support, the Moon Camp property next to Jackie and Shadow’s habitat will now be permanently protected.

Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office released a health update today, saying he is still not ready to return to in-person work at the Capitol following his June 14 hospitalization. That means he has now been away from in-person Senate work for 43 days.

💯

The White House’s recent AI-generated video copies the visual style of Rick and Morty, despite there being no involvement or collaboration from the people who created the show.

McConnell still hasn’t returned to in-person Senate work. Guess he didn’t get the memo, Trump canceled working from home.

This is how democracies begin to slide toward authoritarianism.

Former 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega says that after new leadership took over at CBS News, she and her team were repeatedly pressured to include claims they could not verify.

Alex Pettis’ mom’s message. 💚 We can’t believe it’s already been six months.

Thank you Katy Perry!

It’s crazy they admitted it in court. The Trump administration acknowledged in a recent court filing that federal green energy grants canceled last year were selected for termination “solely” based on a state’s political affiliation.

Trump plans to long-term move troops into Washington, D.C. It appears they have now acquired long-term housing. The housing cost $292 million. Likely to assist him in trying to attain the third term he announced last night.

Trump has ordered that “warning” signs be placed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, directing that visitors be told the museum contains “inaccurate information.” FFS!

A federal court has allowed Tennessee to use its new congressional map, rejecting an effort to block it before the midterm elections. The map splits up the majority-Black district centered in Memphis, a change that weakens Black voting power.

We need a lot more businesses to sue. This administration needs to listen to the courts. Two small businesses sued the Trump administration over its latest round of global tariffs, launching another legal challenge that could redefine the limits of Trump’s authority to wage a global trade war.

A win! The Justice Department has withdrawn the subpoenas seeking phone records and grand jury testimony from New York Times journalists. Always remember that public pressure makes a difference. Thank you!

Let’s talk about the government’s software, AutoMonitor. It recorded clicks, data, navigation, and form interactions before sending that data to a destination that was not publicly visible. This software has been installed by the National Design Studio on fed websites.

The House voted 214-208 to pass a war powers resolution directing the president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran. This is the second time the House has voted to rein in the president’s war powers over Iran.

Four states are suing the Trump administration after it threatened to withhold millions in federal grants unless they changed how they conduct elections. The administration is exceeding its constitutional authority by using federal funding to pressure states into changing election policies.

This is crazy to be happening in 2026. The US has now recorded more measles cases this year than in any year since 1991, marking the highest total in 35 years. As of today, the country had reported 2,295 confirmed measles cases, according to the Johns Hopkins University U.S. Measles Tracker.

The White House is now sharing this headline. Here’s the full context. About 6,600 people who indicated they were not U.S. citizens while applying for driver’s licenses or state IDs were mistakenly registered to vote because of a software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission

The White House posted on Facebook claiming that 198 Democrats voted against banning members of Congress from trading stocks while in office. What they don’t tell you is that House Republicans attached the SAVE Act to the bill.

Republicans just approved a budget blueprint that does far more than fund the war with Iran. Buried inside the $95 billion package is $10 billion to implement new nationwide voting restrictions demanded by Trump.

Another endangered species just lost federal protections. At the request of the Trump administration, a federal judge in Texas removed Endangered Species Act protections from the dunes sagebrush lizard, a species found only in parts of southeastern New Mexico and West Texas.

Thank you to the outdoor industry for your quick response and standing up again for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Once again, companies across the outdoor community joined together to defend the places that inspire millions of people to hike, camp, climb, hunt, fish, and explore.

Good news! Sumner County, Tennessee, is removing the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway signs from Vietnam Veterans Boulevard after veterans said they were never consulted and that the designation overshadowed the memorial honoring the 25 local service members killed in the Vietnam War.
