An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

David Graham: “Speaker Mike Johnson called on the Senate to censure Padilla, though for what was unclear. Daring to challenge a Trump-administration official? Daring to ask a question during a briefing?" www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Calls grow for Kristi Noem to resign in the wake of Padilla incident

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

This is what she was saying right as Sen. Padilla interrupted with a question. As he should have!

This isn’t North Korea. This is America. And it’s terrifying.

Almost like all the pieces are falling together!

Trump is scrambling to spin this. Netanyahu wasn’t trying to help diplomacy; he was trying to destroy diplomacy. How do we know? They reportedly targeted and killed Iran’s chief negotiator with Trump.

Sow anger & fear, reap grimly. "Even if we transport all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women. " 1/2

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Crucial from immigration advocate Tori Gavito: Trump's stunning admission that deportations are hurting farmers and the economy suggests he's hearing major blowback from businesses who want them to stop. On the pod, Tori is good on why this is such a big moment: newrepublic.com/article/1967...

Homeland Security can’t even bring itself to apologize.

People are going to be shocked in a few years that the U.S. economy is shrinking after we cut core government services to pay for tax cuts for the rich, imposed massive tariffs and scared off both legal & undocumented immigrants. All this and hitting a demographic cliff due to declining birth rates

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

🇺🇸❗️The number of those who support the bill on "devastating sanctions" against Russia is growing in the US Congress, — Senator Lindsey Graham. 🗣️ "We now have more than 84 co-sponsors in the Senate and 70 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives on a bill to impose severe sanctions on Russia."

The clearest photo of Mercury ever taken.

Like the rest of the world, I'm still reeling from the loss of Brian Wilson, a true musical genius. I was beyond honored to play accordion on a Brian Wilson track (never officially released) a few years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Mr...

🇵🇱 Poland’s Supreme Court has approved a recount of votes in several precincts from the recent presidential election. The recount will take place in 13 electoral commissions, according to the court’s statement.

Trump continues to do his best to block foreign investment in the US, just as he drives US investment capital out of the country. A Nippon Steel executive told Nikkei the acquisition of US Steel requires "a degree of management freedom", after Trump said he would exercise "total control"

✈️ Confirmed: ICE flew to China on June 3 👀

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” would give ICE the resources to carry out militarized immigration raids in “dozens of American cities.” “If it works out well in L.A., expect it everywhere,” a Trump official says. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Back to #ConservationOverCorporations: This is bad for fish, Tribes, and the Columbia Basin. Trump reneged on >$1 billion promised to tribes for renewable energy & salmon recovery. He halted an initiative to restore salmon runs in the Columbia and Snake rivers. We can’t lose focus. #Resist

U.N. member nations voted overwhelmingly Thursday to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages held by Hamas, and unrestricted access for the delivery of desperately needed food to 2 million Palestinians.

noem saying thery're going to "liberate" california from its leaders seconds before federal law enforcement restrains and removes one of the state's senators from the room—like what else needs to be said

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

FBI thoroughly vetted Afghans who fled after U.S. withdrawal, audit finds

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.
