It’s been less than 6 months and we have US troops facing down Americans on American streets and now 2 wars in the Middle East. Are you tired of winning yet?

I want Australia’s Govt to stand up & make a statement about what is happening in the US as much, as I want them to stand up about what Israel is doing in Gaza. Suspend everything - be strong & brave & stand up for what you believe. #AnthonyAlbanese, we voted for you to represent us. How about it?

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

A second top pollster finds Trump's approval plummeting: AP-NORC approve 39 disapprove 60 (net -21) Quinnipiac approve 38 disapprove 54 (net -16) BOTH are considered select pollsters by NYT.

A big loss www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

an ill wind eh? American alcohol exports have dropped like a stone. Wine exports to Canada are down substantially (a staggering 94% decline). Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, France & Italy imports to Canada are up by double digits.

Jessica: Gavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. There was a new Quinnipiac poll: Donald Trump -12 approval, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it

Jessica Tarlov: β€œGavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. Right before we came on air, there was a new Quinnipiac Poll that was released. Donald Trump: -12 approval in general, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it.”

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a β€œworld-class hater” who β€œeats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth β€” and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

@bmeiselas.bsky.social Happy birthday Brett. Love your work.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health expertsβ€”people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

RFK Jr.β€˜s extreme anti-vax views β€” and his related conflicts of interest β€” were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
