Stephen Miller is REALLY panicked that libertarians (along with Rand, Tom Massie, and he's calling out CATO) are pointing out how excessive border funding in the Big Ugly is.

She spent 30 seconds calling out Trump for breaking the law, inflaming the situation, then got the following on national TV: 1) Cuts to Medicare (third rail) 2) Farmers losing markets to tariffs 3) Small businesses hurt by tariffs 4) Threats to rural hospitals Then she returned to shock and awe.

Also, Grok apparently hasn't listened to me on @nicolesandler.bsky.social's show, bc just about every week I confess publicly that the main reason I go on Xitter is to be an asshole to people like Miller.

These are one sentence apart. Words, what do they mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Really? Because we neutralized the ICE tip line using Bluesky. We also flooded the “gender identity” snitch email with over 54,000 useless submissions. But go on…

Would probably be a good idea if California @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov did a quick video statement describing the legality/illegality of what is happening and the legal basis for the position the Gov. intends to take. Better than letting confusion build and folks hashing it out on social media.

Dropping a video on my YouTube channel shortly to describe the laws implicated by Felon Trump’s move to deploy the National Guard.

The best place to get coverage of the protests in LA is from video from individuals on the scene. The totalitarian government is lying about them and the traditional media is largely unreliable — complicit or fatuously both-sidesey.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

For you obsessive 1st Amendment “free speech” folks.. Remember, the US Constitution’s 1st Amendment “guarantees” (loll) protection from the gov’t re: speech, press, religion, assembly. AND YET: confirmed #NationalGuard members, firing on members of the press, carrying a camera/tripod. 🇺🇸 #LosAngeles

It is the same lie that law enforcement has told all of my life.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

I guess Stephen Miller ordered the invasion of CA while Trump was out partying!

There is a lot of organized messaging on Xitter. Much of it ALSO ties passage of BBB to this--tipping their hand that invasion of Home Deport and Los Angeles is abt attention management. But there are ALSO people noting that Trump encouraged assaults on cops. And ALSO still MoCs messaging there.

This is particularly True if you're in Issa's district. He's getting WAYYY ahead of parts of his district on fascism here, and many of his constituents would be stuck deploying.

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

The Miami Herald has an investigation into FDC Miami echoing my reporting from the past couple weeks: harsh conditions, crumbling infrastructure, use of force and lack of access to legal counsel www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Let's be clear what is going on: After Elon correctly confirmed that the Big Ugly Bill would put a bigger hole in the deficit, Stephen Miller incited a panic he wants to use to pass the bill as a promise to impose martial law on Dem cities and states. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/08/t...

Newsom’s authority is explained in footnote 1 here: open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Doesn’t sound like we need the national guard. 🤔

Trump quoted Hitler and said he'd unleash the National Guard against the "enemy from within" before the election. Here we are folks.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

She tried to warn us and here we are.

DEAR GOVERNOR NEWSOM @governor.ca.gov California Deserves Better How about doing this Not maybe

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

It is all a distraction AND it's all part of the plan to create chaos and right-wing authoritarian rule.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

So...all the folks who think Abolish ICE is "too extreme." Where are you on that position now?

Trump's EPA is moving to roll back environmental protections that would save billions of years and thousands of lives. This administration continues to wage an all-out assault on our health and environment. There is nothing they won't do when it comes to helping their polluter friends.

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

We are about to watch the live production of “Good Night, & Good Luck” Maybe the only time we watch CNN who should truly listen & heed it’s message A wonderful tribute to one of our greatest American journalists #EdwardRMurrow LISTEN & LEARN

What country is this?

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Who is going to tell him that the Trump administration win rate in court stands at 7%?

Beyond Musk, Senators face another budget bill foe — callers "5 Calls app's internal data shows consistent, monthlong opposition to Trump's 'disgusting abomination' budget bill." See the spike in calls near the House passage. www.allrisenews.com/p/budget-bil...

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Literally two weeks ago Stephen Miller screamed at ICE leadership for not raiding Home Depots.

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.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.
