If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

The decision to indict Kilmar Abrego Garcia prompted the resignation of a supervisor in the U.S. attorney's office that brought the charges. Ben Schrader, who had worked as a federal prosecutor for nearly 15 years, stepped down as the indictment was returned. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

If confirmed, this would represent a version of Charlottesville, but where government officials are the ones driving into protestors

all this to arrest a couple guys working in the kitchen at carrabas

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY! At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS. There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

At least the Robot-Biden White House didn’t have the Treasury Secretary in fisticuffs. 🤡 @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)

Expect a fixed “sue and settle” outcome with MAGA DOJ. Taxpayer resources to political allies is their specialty. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Update on the Norse vegvisir and "The Others" patches officers were wearing during the federal law enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Tuesday. "The Others" patch was not authorized. www.twincities.com/2025/06/06/i...

We live in a country where the wealthiest person openly mocks a first-time political candidate for suggesting that everyone should have access to affordable healthcare—after he’s spent the last four months making sure thousands of children in less affluent countries starve to death.

NEW at SCOTUS: two emergency docket wins for Trump. One gives DOGE access to Social Security files. The second halts a FOIA request for info into DOGE’s operations for now. The three Dem appointees dissent in each.

BREAKING: SCOTUS conservatives give DOGE access to Social Security records, overruling lower courts. All three Democratic appointees would reject the Trump administration’s request.

This reads like a story from the Warsaw Ghetto

Important to read the story, they got a grand jury to indict him with transporting illegal immigrants and claim he was part of a years-long conspiracy

New shirt lol

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

And here’s what she said weeks ago to me:

“The University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations, the Guardian has learned”

Great thread. And this is why Lakshya Jain isn't wrong to say that Democratic candidates who find some way to distinguish themselves from the party will fare better. The conclusion I'd draw from that, though, is not that "moderate = better," but that those candidates by necessity will be 1/

Happening Today: Sentencing for Shane Lamond, the former intelligence division leader for the DC Metropolitan Police Department who leaked info to Henry Tarrio, leader of the far right Proud Boys, before Jan 6. Background: www.huffpost.com/entry/corrup...

Palestinian photographer Ahmed Qaljah, who worked for Al-Arabiya TV, died Friday from wounds he sustained in Israel’s strike on Gaza City’s al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. The attack also killed journalists Suleiman Hajjaj, Ismail Badah, and Samir al-Rifai, and injured three others.

Really nice illustration of how the last rounds of NYC mayoral primary voting went. You can see how important it is for mid-tier candidates to name a second choice for their supporters.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Twitter right now

Dear Democrats in the Senate, Please get ready amendments ready for reconciliation bill that will at least: - defund Starlink - defund all maters related Space X - defund DOGE (calling it a Deep State) And that's just the start. There can be lot lot more. Thanks.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

forcing JD Vance into the middle of this against his will is such an incredible bonus
