This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to cut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to their billionaire donors. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

@markwarner.bsky.social please explain. Virginians, he can be reached at 202-224-2023. (He’s immovable but we should call anyway.)

Plain speaking thread here. Thank you @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Please, Virginians younger than I am, consider primarying Mark Warner.

This young man is displaying more courage than the vast majority of the United States Congress.

America

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

If you can't protest in person today (for whatever reason) here's a virtual rally you can join! 👇

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

If you're marching tomorrow show us your signs! And if you want to march but aren't sure where, find a protest near you here. There are a LOT. www.nokings.org

And, as I said yesterday: A large protest is a safe protest. Normies, please go! White folks, especially!

If you’re in DC you have multiple options in NOVA and MD to choose from as an alternative to staying in the city.

Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map

FBI Warns Second California Senator Still At Large theonion.com/fbi-war...

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

This is really something. I’d be so proud if my senators were to say something similar but, alas, one is pushing his crypto bill and the other voted for Noem. They are def with the majority of the sclerotic Dems but it makes me sad nonetheless. Thank you, Senator Padilla, for being a model.

Wow

All right, this is a long shot, I don’t know many people in either of these places but I’m asking anyway: if you’re in Utah or Idaho and can foster or adopt George here, drop me a line? We can arrange transport anywhere in Utah or Idaho for sure, possibly farther

"No Kings must break through to normies, independents, and Trump voters feeling remorse...Size is persuasion...If 100,000 people show up for Trump’s parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?" www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

Like Secret Service agents, the median voter also does not recognize Alex Padilla, so the tackling and cuffing of a US senator may not be the political winner Democrats think it is. by Matthew Yglesias

This from a man who voted to confirm Noem.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I feel like it should be a bigger deal that ICE arrested the leader of the largest union in California.

PEN America joins 24 other press freedom and media organizations in condemning attacks on journalists covering immigration protests in the Los Angeles area. pen.org/press-releas...

Soundbite descriptions of the budget bill correctly call it a massive transfer of wealth to the already-wealthy and the heist of Medicaid and Medicare. We need to expand the quick-version framing to include the fact that this bill also increases the immigrant detention budget x13 to 45 billion.

Thank YOU all for YOUR healthcare stories, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. Here's how you can help: 1) DM your story about: Medicaid/ACA/Medicare or SNAP 2) Include a short paragraph with your name & state I will hand deliver them to your Senators offices on 6/12. Please Repost & NEVER GIVE UP!

No, it wasn’t a “girl fight” or “mean girls” or as Savannah Guthrie on the @todayshow.com just said, “7th grade girls.” It was men. Grown white men. Let’s reset our metaphors and quit defaulting to using women and girls as examples of emotionally unchained behavior.

For. Real.
