Trump: "We have planes that are undetectable flying around. Nobody's able to see them. Stealth."

@radiofreetom.bsky.social THERE’S ONE RIGHT BEHIND YOU

A brave 20 year old US citizen that stood up to ICE, Adrian Andrew Martinez, disappeared by the regime. His family currently unable to find him after being kidnapped by regime troopers. His mother: "I have no idea where he's at. I don't know if he's okay. I'm really worried right now." #StopICE

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

So much for MAHA.

“Donald Trump is the first and only American president...who has failed to prevent Prime Minister Netanyahu from launching a preemptive war of choice when diplomacy remained viable.”

Work at a law firm? Post this or circulate it internally. Know someone who does? Send it to them. Urge them to publicly back the @americanbar.org suit to defend the legal profession. That’s a small but meaningful thing you can do. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/a-collecti...

Welch: I have no faith in him all because he acts like a guy who got a day pass from the memory wing of a nursing home. When you see him on TV, he's slurring. He's not competent. It is just terrifying when you see the chyron that says Trump is reviewing war plans.

CBO projections had suggested the House bill would add 11 million more to the ranks of the uninsured while saddling millions more with bigger health care expenses. The projections for the Senate bill might be even more severe.

A short video about Juneteenth:

I’ve been trying to figure out why Trump 2.0 is so much scarier than Trump 1.0. I’ve boiled it down to -ice arresting democratic politicians -Trump convinced he can pretty much do anything -RFK jr at HHS doing all the things he said he would not do during his confirmation hearings

Tomorrow is another SCOTUS opinion day. We are still waiting on a Louisiana Redistricting decision and a ruling on nationwide injunctions. Background: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It'd be great to see some Juneteenth-themed protests calling on Whiskey Pete to resign as a way to promote meritocracy and accountability. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"We’re going to see security services deployed more and more against Dem elected officials," says @moiradonegan.bsky.social. The message: "To be a Dem official is an illegitimate position under his regime." On the pod, Donegan is brilliant on Trump-MAGA's true goals: newrepublic.com/article/1969...

It’s never good to see an opponent learn from his mistakes. So here’s some unsettling news: Like the Jurassic Park velociraptors opening the kitchen door, the White House is learning. Today's Morning Shots, from @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/marco-rubi...

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

"A panel of judges on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday denied Trump's request to have Justice Department lawyers argue in his appeal of columnist E. Jean Carroll's defamation case against Trump." abcnews.go.com/US/appeals-c...

Oh yeah I’m back 🔥

Call your Representatives and Senators. Tell them to assert their Art. 1, Section 8 constitutional power. No war with Iran. 202-225-3121

I joined Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss former President Barack Obama’s warnings of the U.S. being “dangerously close” to autocracy and the recent arrests of Democratic officials. I hope you watch and enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8e8...

Federal courts have eliminated the right for tribal nations in North Dakota to fight discriminatory election laws, declaring only the Attorney General can sue under the VRA. Meanwhile, Trump's DOJ has abandoned enforcement of voter protections for marginalized groups: boltsmag.org/voting-right...

"A European nuclear deterrent is pricey. But it’s not out of reach. Also, if you think peace is expensive, you should check out the sticker price on war." Unfortunately, this is a conversations the Europeans have to have. Without us.

ProPublica obtained records showing how a DOGE software engineer with no health care or government experience created an AI model to identify contracts to kill at the VA. @bxroberts.org‬ takes us through what we learned when we asked experts to review the model’s underlying instructions and code ⤵️

More from the Cruz-Tucker interview…

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

EXCLUSIVE: State Dept. leaves Americans stranded Ned Price, former senior State Department official and former CIA official, explains

Trump’s ICE is NOT going to care that these young men are in uniform when federal agents go to detain their mother. What a travesty that these wonderful young men who are serving our country have to accompany their mother to her immigration hearing.

Trump ordered ICE to target major U.S. cities to punish his political opponents, citing election conspiracy theories that Democrats use undocumented immigrants to “expand their Voter Base.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is VERY unpopular. No surprise when it kicks MILLIONS off of health care and food assistance to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires. Republicans are trying to ram it through by July 4th. NOW is the moment to fight back. Call your senator.

Some of Tucson’s & AZ's favorite spaces — Sabino Canyon, parts of Mount Lemmon and Madera Canyon — could all be available for sale to the highest bidder as part of the current draft of President Donald Trump’s budget bill, per @arizonaagenda.bsky.social. tucsonagenda.substack.com/p/sabino-can...

1. In 2024, Trump said he would deport every undocumented immigrant in the country. "I think you have to do it," Trump said. "They came in illegally." He said "illegals" were "poisoning the blood of our country." Then, for a few days, he abruptly reversed course. Why? Let's follow the money

“We’re trying to demonstrate whether the people in power have the support of the American people.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social on #NoKingsDay

TODAY: The 9th Circuit will hear the government’s request to allow Trump’s federal takeover of the California National Guard. Stream the hearing here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEit...

It's Election Day in Virginia! There's a lot to track, from the primary to be the state's next attorney general to local battles for county board, prosecutor, and sheriff. Explore our guide to what you should be watching: boltsmag.org/whats-o...

We raised money to build an inclusive playground. People on social media said inclusive playground are “woke.” So we helped build another. Welcome to build day at Shelton Elementary in Golden, CO.

Once again, Gavin Newsom is stealing my trolling beat. Curse you, Gavin!!!

It’d be a slap in the face for Congress to expand tax loopholes for Big Pharma companies that are making billions while overcharging Americans. These companies should be held accountable for prioritizing profits over people.

Remember when Iran and its proxies attacked American and allied interests during Trump’s first term? And Trump did nothing except belittle U.S. troops’ injuries? And Veterans of Foreign Wars demanded an apology? And he ignored them? Because it really wasn't that long ago: tinyurl.com/4684fs8t

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

"I have never seen a record where racial discrimination by the government is so palpable... Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?" Judge Young (Reagan appointee) ruling in our favor against Trump research cuts. Read more of the Judge's fiery language: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/breaking-n...

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

Senate Republicans release Trump agenda bill text on Medicaid, Medicare and SALT www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

A federal judge has ordered the National Institutes of Health to reinstate hundreds of millions of dollars in grants canceled by the Trump admin, saying the terminations were illegal and discriminatory.
