And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

One Senator gets tackled by thugs for asking questions. Another’s in tears because he wasn’t invited to Trump’s picnic. That’s the state of the GOP — brutality and bootlicking.

This is a fascist stunt — a cruel abuse of power and a grotesque waste of resources to intimidate innocent families. Spare me the “Christian” label if you back this. Jesus would be flipping tables, not cheering this bullshit.

Good morning. If the Republican budget bill passes: - 40% of the country will lose money - 15 million people will lose their health care - the richest families will get a $270,000 tax cut - the debt will go up 2.4 TRILLION dollars Who is asking for that??

The scholars are right — authoritarians always create/exploit a “crisis” to seize power. This moment is no different. Saturday’s No Kings Day protest is our chance to push back, loudly and peacefully. Trump Declares Dubious Emergencies to Amass Power, Scholars Say www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

We need to save ourselves. A massive, peaceful turnout on Saturday for No Kings Day will put the sociopaths and cowards on notice. We must show up — in numbers too big to ignore.

Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"

He’s dead right — we need to wake the hell up. Share this clip with anyone still sleepwalking through this coup.

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

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"

The timing is no coincidence. Trump is putting us on notice for the June 14 rally. As we protest this week, we must stay strong, visible, and peaceful — that’s our power. No kings. No fear. Live Updates: National Guards to Deploy to L.A. as More Protests Are Planned www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

The White House declaring Californians “in rebellion” is pure authoritarian theater. It’s not law and order—it’s a power grab wrapped in fascist branding.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.

DOGE managed to rack up two legal wins on Friday. The Supreme Court gave them the green light to dig into sensitive Social Security data and, at least for now, told them they didn’t have to hand over any pesky internal documents to a government watchdog. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

Dr Oz makes my skin crawl- the charlatan is perfectly fine with tossing people off Medicaid and the ACA. Attend the “No Kings” rally on June 14th as we need to let these sociopaths know they are on notice. www.wlns.com/top-stories/... Dr. Oz on Medicaid cuts: People should 'prove that you matter'

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

In case you’re curious about Trump’s “concept of a plan” to improve the ACA, here you go. Spoiler alert, it’s sickening. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...
