Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

We'll have more on this soon, but: RFK Jr. has named eight people today to replace the seventeen he fired from the CDC vaccine advisory panel. You will be SHOCKED to know he is putting antivax kooks on the panel.

New Quinnipiac poll: Trump’s approval: Disapprove: 54% Approve: 38% Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill: 53% oppose 27% support Handling of immigration: 54% disapprove 43% approve

They're booing Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center.

This is a post from Monday from Senator Bill Cassidy (R). Aged like milk on a summer day in Tucson. As I said then, he has no control over RFK Jr. That’s been proven once again. The people RFK Jr. has appointed to ACIP so far, with one exception, know nothing about vaccines except suspicion.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

he’s just completely vacuous. he talks in television sound-bytes and clearly does not think about a word coming out of his mouth

Thank you for your attention to this matter. #AccountabilityForJanuary6th

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

!!! Quinnipiac poll of 1,265 RVs, conducted from June 5-9, finds Trump at -11% approval on “immigration issues” and -16% on “deportations.” Full poll here: poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

Double.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke

TWO AMAZING AMERICANS speaking about a vital time in our history due to the most UNAMERICAN unpresidential felon. That's my summation. @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social are way more diplomatic than I am. haha open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

REED: Are you confident that no information has been exported from the Treasury Department by DOGE personnel? BESSENT: Not to my knowledge REED: Have you investigated it? BESSENT: We have strict protocols around that so there's no reason to believe there was

Over 20% of the military are black but don't see any in this pic or other pics of speech.

BREAKING: About 500 National Guard troops have been trained to accompany agents on immigration raids, and some have temporarily detained protesters in LA, commander says.

So the target is the Democratic leaders?

Jesse Watters' chyron last night: "Terry Moran get's 86'd by ABC." Jesse Watters last month: "Any cop, any prosecutor knows the code for homicide—86."

LOL!!!

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence fed the JFK files into an AI program, asking it to see if there was anything that should remain classified. https://trib.al/AqWNKuR

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

No, RFK Jr., sacking the best public health experts in America won’t ensure “the safest possible vaccines.” It will only make America sicker.

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

We’re in the streets in downtown Chicago.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

Trump’s actions and his inactions would be the precise conduct of someone whose goal was to destroy our country. We need to face what that means.

Doechii, Tyler Perry call out Trump, attacks on Black culture at BET Awards ... Well done, BET awardees. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Fabulous for NJ, for Dems and for NJ

All this distraction, and he still a rapist, a felon, a failed businessman, and a complete, moron. We must not lose sight that this presidency is a failure on all accounts his ratings are lower than they’ve ever been, which is hard to believe since they were so low last time. Failures.

I wrote about how Trump is using authoritarianism to distract from all of his losses last week www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

They aren't even pretending anymore that they're responding to rioting or lawlessness. They're calling out the military and threatening large-scale violence against people engaged in lawful protest *because they're engaged in lawful protest*.
