Horrible.

It’s blindingly clear at this point that the protestors in Los Angeles are in fact helping to prevent a fascist takeover, and the pundits who suggested that protest is counterproductive were being either stupid or actively malicious.

The DOJ just charged a Russian national with moving hundreds of millions through the system—mostly using a foreign stablecoin called Tether. The GENIUS Act includes a massive loophole that allows Tether to evade basic safeguards. It must not move forward without real fixes.

Republicans are jamming through the GENIUS Act which will turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption. We need an amendment vote to stop the President, Vice President, and senior government officials from directly or indirectly profiting from a stablecoin venture.

Dems who sit idly by should lose their jobs along w all the corrupt Republicans - sorry, corrupt and Republican is redundant

There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad. 16 MILLION losing health care. 4.3 MILLION losing food assistance. And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt. All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

Senate Republicans just confirmed an IRS Commissioner who: 1) Supported legislation that would abolish the IRS 2) Doesn’t know the law 3) Has a track record of doing whatever Donald Trump tells him to do It’s dangerous and absurd.

A federal judge just ruled what we’ve known all along. The Trump administration had no right to detain Mahmoud Khalil. This is a victory, but it should’ve never come to this.

It’s always good to see a little bit of NJ-10 in D.C.! 😊 Congratulations to NJ-10’s own Isabelle Hayes for winning our Congressional Art Competition and making New Jersey proud!

For months, Trump and his buddies said they didn’t need Congress to gut these programs. Now they’re asking us to rubber stamp $9.4B in cruelty. I won’t. Congress must serve the people instead of dismantling programs that work.

El gobierno de Donald Trump no está protegiendo a nuestras comunidades; las está traumatizando. Y eso es precisamente lo que quiere hacer.    California seguirá luchando en las cortes a favor de nuestra gente – toda nuestra gente.

America’s keyboard warrior

Vote out Joni Ernst 🚫

Terry Moran. Fired by ABC because he reported the news.

Throwback Thursday: in 2024, JD Vance admitted him and Trump “created” fake stories about immigrants in Ohio. Now, Trump’s using the same lies to justify military force against U.S. citizens in L.A. It’s always been about fear and control – not safety.

Brutal Trump takedown by @governor.ca.gov Newsom

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Meet Sydney Kamlager-Dove, representing LA. She’s 🔥

Hi! I'm Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and I’m proud to represent LA in Congress! I know many of us are feeling uncertain right now, but we must stay engaged. I'll continue LEADing in Congress to preserve our Land, advance Economic justice, promote the Arts, and stand up for Democracy. Follow along!

BREAKING: The Pentagon said the deployment of National Guard members and Marines to protests over immigration raids in LA will cost $134 million.

"It was probably not the reception the president was hoping for with his debut at the cultural center he took over and now chairs — half full, half booing, and with a strong contingent of drag queens." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

Sending in the military against the wishes of the people and their governor isn't law and order, it's an invasion.
