Meiselas: Terry Moran, if you’re listening, we’ve just learned that your agreement has apparently been terminated by ABC. We want you to know—you will always have a place here at The MeidasTouch Network.

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someone’s head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school

Gov. Newsom is inarguably cooking on the socials

I look forward to Stephen Miller being tried for his crimes against humanity--along with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem--and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law.

NYT: “If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” 😳🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

ICYMI: National Guard troops were sent to LA with no federal funding for food, water, fuel, equipment, or a place to stay. “Wildly unprepared” is the phrase being used. All courtesy of Trump and Hegseth.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I've tried to work with him. You can't work with Donald Trump. You can only work FOR him. And I will not - I refuse - to work for Donald Trump."

They literally tried to grab elementary children during school hours.

An alarming abuse of power. Impeach and remove NOW.

Stay strong, stay united, Democratic governors!

Good questions!

Catheter time:

If the objective was really apprehending people without legal authority to be in the country, ICE would never have to leave Mar-a-Lago.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m starting to get the same feeling in my gut that I had at about 1:30 PM on January 6, 2021—like Donald Trump has incited a series of events that are intended to culminate in a coup of our democracy by the far right. This is getting very bad.

Barragán: "This is not an effort to really get criminals. It's an effort to see 'let's see who we can sweep up along the way.' Why are they doing this? Bc this president said he was going to deport millions & the numbers have not been adding up. There aren't that many serious criminal offenders."

You have to wonder what happened to this man as a child to make him so hateful and angry. It’s really quite sad.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

And deflecting from the Epstein tweet. We have an actual madman in the fucking White House with no credible Republican standing up against him. It’s horrific

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

🧐 Here is a look at the "riots" in LA ... "Who's got the power? People Power." #FreedomToDissent Use this toolkit to fight back against Trump's fascist power grab ➡️ social.demcast.com/toolkit/free...

If you only watch one Gov Newsom clip about Trump's war on America make it this one: "This is about authoritarian tendencies....This is a consistent pattern.. this guy has abandoned the core principles of this great democracy."

“This isn't law and order. This isn't making our country safer or fixing our border. And it isn't leadership.”

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Please repost:

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

On JUNE 14 we are showing up EVERYWHERE! There are more than 1600 events taking place across the USA! We have a simple message: No thrones. No crowns. No Kings! Find your event! www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=d...

"In your last conversation with Trump, what did he say?" @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He never brought up the National Guard. Stone cold liar. Said he did. Stone cold liar. Never did. Didn't even really want to talk about LA."

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

True story bro.

“Anyone”

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

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"

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

ICE crossed a line in LA

DO IT!!!!!!

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.
