Thank you, @maddow, for continuing to cover the fight to free Kevin Strickland. There is no justice in a criminal legal system that keeps known innocent people like Kevin Strickland and Lamar Johnson incarcerated. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/…

"In 2018, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell scaled back the chamber's summer break dramatically.
'We have a lot of important work to do,' McConnell said at the time.
Don't Senate Democrats have "a lot of important work to do" in 2021, too?"

"Unless Democrats want to see infrastructure talks extend into the fall, they'll have to move with greater urgency.
But they aren't locked into a timeline in which there are 'only 6 workweeks between now and September.'
They have the option of more":

Persist.
Persist, persist, persist.
Rep. Barbara Lee, once a lone voice against open-ended authorizations of military force, today had the majority on her side.

A federal judge wants every attorney whose name was on court filings seeking to overturn Michigan's presidential election results in the "Kraken" suit there to show up for a sanctions hearing on July 6.

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)
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC "Prosecutor says man was wrongfully imprisoned for decades, yet he remains behind bars"
This story gets more and more astonishing, the longer it goes on.

‘You’re physically the largest country on earth with an economy smaller than Italy’s. In part because your government is terrible and also because there is no Russian economy other than oil. But because of your corruption, even your oil sector is backward and decrepit’ #Maddow
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC 430 am in Geneva and it’s a wrap for me! Thanks to everyone on the @NBCNews @MSNBC crews in front of and behind the cameras. Love being on your team!

"GM said Wednesday that it will spend $35 billion on electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025, about 30% higher than a target set last November.
The increase reflects plans to add two more battery factories in the U.S."

NEWS:
All 11 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are calling on Merrick Garland and DOJ to release the memo supposedly justifying Bill Barr's decision not to prosecute Trump.
Garland and DOJ must show transparency, the Dems argue in a new letter:

"To his credit, Rosen rebuffed the White House’s entreaties to deploy DOJ's vast powers on behalf of Mr. Trump’s lie..."

Huh? Rosen and Richard Donoghue actually brought the White House b.s. to US attorneys in MI, GA, and PA:

Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC .@stltoday editorial on Kevin Strickland: If he “were in Texas, he would ... be free by now, and his cause not only would be embraced by top Republicans but they would also be joining Democrats in demanding millions of dollars in compensation for him.” stltoday.com/opinion/editor…
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC When I hear people claim that Fox and MSNBC are the same, just right and left, I say: Hannity rails against the "media mob" every night. Maddow urges people to support local news. Not the same. twitter.com/MaddowBlog/sta…
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC There are "leaders" using false claim of a stolen election to help themselves, taking advantage of people's emotions and stoking their fears. Real leaders treat voters like adults. This continuing effort to undermine faith in our electoral system still is having dangerous effects twitter.com/GaSecofState/s…
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC If you were to rank the top voting rights attorneys in the country, @vanitaguptaCR, @KristenClarkeJD and Pam Karlan would be 3 of the top 4. The fact that they are all at @TheJusticeDept gives me great hope.
BTW: @Sifill_LDF (who I hope is appointed to SCOTUS) is the 4th.
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC Thanks for having me on tonight, @maddow. For those who want to learn more about Kevin Strickland's case and his fight for freedom, all of the @KCStar's coverage can be found here: kansascity.com/topics/kevin-s…
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC Maddow to DOJ officials: Wake up, you guys! You're going to work every day at an active crime scene, and there's no other cops to call here. You have to fix this. You're the only ones who can. The country needs you to do this.
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC Excellent question from Mr. Schmidt of the New York Times: "Why is it that the fight continued -- under Merrick Garland -- for the metadata from my emails?" twitter.com/MaddowBlog/sta…
We need a full accounting of the Trump DOJ’s abuse of power targeting Congress and the press.
An IG investigation is just the start.
The full range of the misconduct must be examined, including Barr’s efforts to protect those who lied to cover up, and go after Trump’s enemies.
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC Important point from Rep. Lieu here👇
This wasn't a secret *inside* DOJ. Yes, the public just learned of it from NYT last night, but senior officials at DOJ - people serving *now* - knew of this.
We only get an IG investigation now because of a press report??
This is rotten.twitter.com/tedlieu/status…f

.@LACaldwellDC: "...they want to know and things the DOJ is refusing to tell them. This is not the Trump DOJ that is not responding to the Dems on the Intel Committee, this is the Biden DOJ." (3/3) #AMRstaff
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC .@RepAdamSchiff's office has been asking DOJ the following questions:
* What's legal predicate for subpoenaing metadata of members of Congress
* What triggered the decision
* What was the exact timeline
* Were Rs also targeted
No answer from DOJ, committee official tells me: twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/…
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC NEW:
@RepAdamSchiff's office has repeatedly asked DOJ for info on the subpoenaing of Dems' metadata, including what the legal basis is and what prompted the move.
Incredibly, DOJ has refused to answer, a committee official tells me.
New reporting here:
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC DOJ must come clean about the leak investigation of members of Congress. This goes to the core of reestablishing a credible, non-political justice system. AG Garland needs to assure the public this is being investigated. I spoke to @ThePlumLineGS.

Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC "The next Trump, that could be Trump himself in 2024 or a far more competent authoritarian leader, will have a much easier time usurping American democracy because right now, the roadmap has been laid out for them very clearly," Abdallah Fayyad says.

Retweeted by Rachel Maddow MSNBC Sorry for the long thread, but perhaps this might echo further by tweet than just by link.
In any case, read the whole thing -- it's worth it:
lawfareblog.com/sliming-susan-…
"This is how history gets rewritten—through the mindless and endless repetition that the Capitol insurrectionists were just tourists, that the Russia investigation was a 'collusion hoax' and that those who took the allegations seriously were partisan conspiracy theorists."
"It is by painting the Susan Hennesseys of the world as disreputable that the right can pretend these things did not happen. It is by sliming people like Susan that Trump’s defenders can maximize the disincentive for others to speak candidly about these issues in the future.
"The project of pretending that Russia collusion concerns were a 'hoax' requires discrediting those who followed carefully and spoke about the investigation of those matters in real time.
"Sliming Susan is also about whitewashing history:
The project of rehabilitating Flynn, even as he urges a military coup against the Biden administration, requires discrediting those who took his criminal behavior seriously at the time it happened.
