Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

📌Happy birthday, Army. For 250 years you’ve bravely shed blood to fight kings and fascists. Don’t dishonor the sacrifice of our fallen now. Even this Navy guy knows yer too good for that …

It is clear that there is something about the configuration of modern society - how we communicate, how we gain attention, the way ideas gain popularity - that leads to the continual advancement of extremist beliefs, especially on the right. Our job is to figure out what that is, and shut it down.

“Size is persuasion. It creates bandwagon effects…If 100,000 people show up in Washington to celebrate Trump’s military parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?” www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

"As of midnight on Sunday, June 15, we have data from about 40% of No Kings Day events held yesterday, accounting for over 2.6m attendees. According to our back-of-the-envelope math, that puts total attendance somewhere in the 4-6 million people range." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

Just to make the obvious explicit: Whether a country is willing to act as an extraterritorial gulag has exactly nothing to do with whether people from that country pose a security risk. They’re not even pretending the “security” pretext for the travel ban is serious.

I thought I was losing my mind when this happened because it was an attempted assassination of a national political leader and it was treated like it was nothing.

What a devastating day. What a decisive moment for our country. We cannot let violence against elected officials become normalized. All my thoughts are with the victims and their families. This is the moment for our nation to do the hard work of choosing peace in our politics.

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.
