There was a lot of news yesterday. Here's a scoop you might have missed about the new private, ultra-exclusive Trump club in DC that is partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and that is very swampy.

The violent detention of Sen. Alex Padilla was terrible. But what DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said right before it might be even more frightening—and it's just one of several authoritarian messages coming from Trump and his comrades.

It seems likely this will kill any prospect of a deal with Iran. It will be more motivated now to develop nuclear weapons. And it will conclude that should it reach a deal with the United States, Israel might still attack.

Trump said he wanted a deal with Iran. I guess he couldn’t convince his good friend Netanyahu. No respect. Looks weak.

NEW @motherjones.com: Spoke to 6 domestic violence shelters/orgs in LA about the chilling effects of ICE: They’re closing their doors & survivors are afraid to seek help. “DV programs should be safe sanctuaries & we can’t even guarantee that anymore,” one said. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

SCOOP: Who set up the new private Trump club in DC that costs up to $500,000 to join? A SF developer who's a business associate of David Sacks, Trump's crypto and AI czar, who's been promoting the club. Government ethics experts say this raises questions. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The head of the Department of Homeland Security literally just declared war on the second largest city of the United States and the state with the largest economy. Then a US senator was dragged out, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed. Don't believe this is a crisis?

Why did they have to throw him to the ground and cuff him once he was removed from the room?

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.

Now Trump is worried about deporting farm and restaurant workers? Has he not been paying attention? And he says if you deport these people, then criminal immigrants will apply for their jobs. Wut?

Hard to believe that conspiracy-monger, disinformationist, and anti-vax activist RFK Jr. had a plan to undermine the nation's vaccine system and did not share that with US senators during his confirmation hearings.

Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage. This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes. But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

Knowing they can’t easily deliver on mass deportation, Trump will want to make the public believe—especially those who could be potentially impacted—they can remove anyone and everyone. FEAR IS THEIR GOAL.

Brian Wilson heard immensely beautiful things the rest of us do not. We can be grateful that he did the hard work to make all of that real for us. From his brilliant mind to our ears. May he find harmony in the eternal summer. RIP Brian. Many thanks. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

There is no bottom. There is no red line. Trump will violate any law or custom as he pursues a crusade of division. Encouraging members of the military to boo duly elected US officials is disgraceful.
