Smart move by the LAPD—they need to stay ahead of this wag-the-dog operation Trump and Hegseth are running.

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

They are just itching to do martial law.

(🧵) THREAD: I am shocked at how many people here think Trump has the upper hand in his feud with Musk—and I am convinced that it is the urgency of the media narrative in this direction that has made so many take this counterfactual position. As a biographer of both men, I’ll outline the situation.

The people at @msnbc.com helped me make this video

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

This historic feud is getting much weirder than people think. PROOF takes a deep dive inside certain trendlines many are missing.

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.

The incessant, unnecessarily violent, and largely illegal assaults on neighborhoods, workplaces, and carpool lines all crystallize this Administration's commitment to cause trauma for people of color, not protect them from it—and it's a flat-out disgrace. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-weapon...

@justinwolfers.bsky.social Just saw you on Velshi. Last question Ali asked wasn’t answered. I was so hoping for that. The one about making more steel in the U.S. Isn’t that what people say should be done? Where do inputs for that come from? Has that ship sailed?

David Huerta was peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights when he was assaulted and injured by ICE agents. He is currently in the hospital under detention. This is unacceptable. Praying for David’s health and demanding accountability.

The Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office/Middle District of Tennessee RESIGNED the same day the Acting US Attorney signed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He writes: “do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” There are no coincidences.

Trump appears expressionless in the new presidential portrait, depicted against a dark, blank background.

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

Put them both on a rocket to Mars with no make-up, no Adderall, no diapers, and no Ketamine. That'll do it.

A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs. One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs." See the problem here? www.axios.com/2025/06/04/t...

We need details on this.

Ah, the golden age.
