Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s handpicked vaccine advisory committee has chosen to entertain a classic anti-vaccine talking point; in its first meeting it will show how willing it is to disregard evidence, too. @katherinejwu.com reports:

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

ICE took her mother. Now, a 6-year-old is left without a guardian or legal path back to reunite in Honduras. Story of the times from @nellsalzman.bsky.social @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/22/i...

Five things to remember about war:

Bar Association Calls Out The Jackboot Thuggery Of ICE https://abovethelaw.com/2025/06/bar-association-calls-out-the-jackboot-thuggery-of-ice/

"Only 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/17/t...

I watched a screener of this from PBS — it airs next week. Highly recommended. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

Comptroller Brad Lander was just wrongfully arrested by ICE for standing up for an immigrant also wrongfully detained. This is fascism—plain and simple. Enabled by a spineless Mayor and a lawless President. I’m on my way to immigration court. Release Brad now. Release them all.

Medicaid cuts will lead to hospital closures across the country, especially in rural and underserved areas. By showing up at our local hospitals and speaking out, we can hold our elected officials accountable for putting billionaires ahead of working families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

Congressman Rob Bresnahan Jr. made 85 stock trades AFTER he introduced a bill to ban Congressional stock trading. 🤥

One of the worst crimes of Russia’s war is the abduction of children. This Yale lab tracked the kids. Trump and Rubio cut the funding. You can help. Urge Rubio to reinstate the funding — and donate here. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

It is not lost on Americans that the orchestrated federal war on California comes after a humiliating week for The Orange King and his desire to bend the will of blue states and their leaders. They are picking a fight and declaring war on all of us.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Went to the Unite for Veterans Rally in DC today. Great turnout. So many people showed up to protect veteran's benefits that are currently being slashed. Tammy Duckworth spoke, Dropkick Murphys performed, both amazing. Lots of other great speakers. Help our vets. @rachelmaddowarmy.bsky.social

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

NEW: DNI Gabbard has placed a top adviser inside the ODNI’s watchdog office, U.S. officials say. The move potentially compromises the integrity of the Intelligence Community Inspector General as it is conducting an investigation of Signalgate, they say. wapo.st/4dUcEey

Over 1,400 No Kings events are planned in all 50 states and abroad. We truly have the opportunity to make June 14 (the day of Trump’s military birthday parade) one of the biggest days of mass protest of our lifetimes, but we need everyone who's able standing with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

"On Tyranny" will be #2 on the NYT paperback and #13 in the combined e-book and paperback this week. I am glad it’s useful. New hardback is just out. And free posters to use and share are here. timothysnyder.org/resources/

The Trump administration is escalating efforts to suppress internal dissent and tighten control over information. A new wave of polygraphs is underway, targeting individuals suspected of leaking or resisting from within. Internal guidance has been distributed. Please 🙏 read and follow!

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."
