Democrats cannot be heroes in their story if they don’t name the bad guys. Voter restrictions didn't erect themselves. Republicans erected them to stop *you* from voting. The infrastructure package will not stall itself. Republicans will stall it. https://t.co/iOlT8iagz4 @digby56

Serving the public, Republican-style
Trump's commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, earned at least $53 million — and as much as $127 million — from private companies "while he was collecting a taxpayer salary and supposed to be looking out for the public instead of his own profits." https://t.co/MObP771eqW

Fuck Florida
A man drove his truck into a Pride parade in Florida today, hitting at least two people, one of whom has died. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was at the event and reportedly narrowly avoided being hit. https://t.co/wlydI998B8

Meanwhile, still fighting climate change
Dark money is still trying to stop any attempt to seriously deal with climate disaster:
"An unrelenting drought and record heat have pushed the water supply at Northern California's Lake Oroville to deplete to 'alarming levels,' which will likely force the first-ever closure of the Edward Hyatt Power Plant since it opened in 1967."https://t.co/sLeN07B073

Tourists
NEW: Justice Dept. just released horrifying new footage from 1/6. Feds say this is ex-NYPD officer Thomas Webster (red jacket) wielding a flagpole, rushing at police & tackling a cop to the ground. DOJ released this after legal action by CNN and other outlets. (warning: explicit) pic.twitter.com/yf7DQQFMWr
