now HERE is some responsible reporting: www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

RFKJr jettisons the scientists and replaces them with unqualified political hacks. Former FDA Chief Scientist Jesse Goodman: "This is a highly professional group of scientists and physicians and others…It's the kind of political meddling that will reduce confidence rather than increase confidence."

Families of people who were detained by ICE in immigration raids say they haven't been able to make contact with their loved ones or even find out where many of them are being held.

Here we are. Trump said they will only go after immigrants with criminal records. RFK promised he would keep the vaxx advisory board of experts. So why is ICE parked outside of SCHOOLS? And at home deport where people are looking to WORK? Also - get your booster now before it’s too late.

I’m sure FIRE will be all over this. apnews.com/article/orla...

We know how bad the Big Ugly Bill is. It gets worse. Today we begin markups for the Republican '26 budget, starting w/ their awful MilCon-VA bill. 🚨 Resilience funding for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard? Gone. 🚨 80K VA jobs? Cut. 🚨 Women veterans’ rights? Stripped. 🚨 Healthy food for patients? Nope!

If Trump gets away with deploying the Marines, this without too much push back, he will have made it much easier to deploy active duty troops here at home in the weeks, months, and years ahead.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

The current occupant of the White House is threatening American citizens w/ force for exercising our 1st Amendment rights on the 14th. Question: All gun nuts at the NRA and GOA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU NOW THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT? ISN’T THIS WHAT Y’ALL HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR?

Trump Secretly Sold Stake In Crypto Venture, Doc Suggests Per letter independent monitor submitted to NY judge, a Trump Org entity agreed to sell part of World Liberty Financial - it's not known if that happened or the price or amount sold @danalexander21.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

UPDATE: The West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Association said do not do what this guy suggested www.jezebel.com/prosecutor-g...

Records we obtained suggest that an error in a Texas gang database could have led to the wrong man being sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison — raising grave questions about the lack of due process in Trump’s mass deportation efforts. americanoversight.org/texas-gang-d...

Pressure works- We only need to flip 3 R sens' vote for the sick budget bill. Phonebanking to call Dem voters in a vulnerable R's district & patch them through to thr rep, IS VERY EFFECTIVE. Targeted-only calling voters in districts w/ vulnerable Rs. www.mobilize.us/grassrootsde...

@tmmcmillan.bsky.social has a new must-read piece on SNAP and work requirements. While her characterization of the evidence is both accurate and awesome, her story and the stories of other participants matter more. Let's all act in good faith. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/o...

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the Republican-led State Elections Board exceeded its authority in passing a handful of controversial anti-voting rules last year. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The military deployments that President Trump has directed to Los Angeles to protect ICE agents are expected to cost $134 million for 60 days. wapo.st/4jIN3Xi

NEW: The EPA is poised to unveil plans to repeal Biden’s limits on power plant emissions as soon as tomorrow. w/ @jendlouhy.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article... 🎁

A serious alarm being sounded by California about Trump's deployment of soldiers on American streets.

When describing Pete Hegseth, “warrior” isn’t the first word that comes to mind. Even conservatives are calling out his erasure of civil rights heroes from Navy ship names. Jen Rubin offers a better word for him.

So-called “less-lethal” weapons like those that have been used against demonstrators in Los Angeles can cause severe, lasting harm like nerve or brain damage or blindness. They can also kill. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

There’s a super article by @genevievelakier.bsky.social about the “non-First Amendment law of free speech,” which argues, essentially, that it’s a mistake to think the protection of free speech in this country is a matter only (or even principally) of First Amendment doctrine. 1/

"California leaders condemn ‘authoritarian’ president as demonstrations over immigration raids continue in Los Angeles and beyond"

President Zelensky interview by Martha Raddatz on June 7, 2025 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Courage. Now more than ever. These NIH staffers just stood up to Trump, RFK Jr., Bhattacharya. We need to have their backs. The administration will come for each of them, one and all now. apnews.com/article/nih-...

this is good

This isnt just about immigration—its about the civil liberties of every American. When a president bypasses state leadership, sends troops against civilians & intimidates elected officials, democracy itself is under siege. Slence is complicity. www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

Nigel Farage wants to reopen coal mines in Wales. Wales had the highest rate of respiratory death in Western Europe due, in part, to our industrial heritage. The mines also devastated our environment and there remains thousands of people living below dangerous coal tips.

This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...

Breaking:   WASHINGTON (AP) - Health secretary removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on how vaccines should be used.

Pure grift. The new Don Jr.-connected D.C. club has been a mystery. Here are the details. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok are falsely claiming that two photos shared by Gavin Newsom, which he claimed to show National Guard troops sleeping on the floor in LA, were from 2021 in Afghanistan. In fact, both photos were published in an exclusive report by the San Francisco Chronicle today.

This seems an opportune moment to remind everyone that umbrellas can make a decent shield wall against rubber bullets/bean bag rounds

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Tomorrow (Tues, June 10) at 10AM ET, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya will be testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee on the NIH budget. 1/

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA..... "Who's got the power? People Power." Peaceful. No National Guard or Marines needed. #FreedomToDissent

Trump, who took hours on Jan. 6, 2021, to implore his supporters storming the U.S. Capitol to disperse, and later pardoned hundreds of people charged with crimes that day, has said repeatedly controlling the California protests is necessary to protect ICE agents and Californians from protesters.

Gavin Newsom is responding to red state critics who represent states with higher murder rates than California, including Mike Johnson (Louisiana) and Tommy Tuberville (Alabama).

The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.

Looking for good coverage on the disgrace of this military invasion of California. And there's Katie Couric! www.instagram.com/reel/DKsoV6w...
