And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.

The latest move by the Trump administration to share personal information of Medicaid recipients with DHS should deeply concern everyone. Targeting families for their immigration status is a dangerous breach and we’re exploring all avenues to protect their information.

NEW: Here’s the white nationalist who made the poster that DHS shared of Uncle Sam asking people to "Report All Foreign Invaders" to ICE. The account has recently been retweeting pro-Nazi accounts and posting about why whites should use the n-word www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Israel's attack on Iran sparked the biggest jump in crude oil prices since Russia's invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago. Stocks fell sharply.

Reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s Letters from an American today from a voters perspective, I might consider $45M for an Army parade and $134M LA deployment of national guard and marines—waste, fraud, and abuse. People need economic relief not more fear or burden open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Always constructive, important, and hopeful outlook on freedom and democracy coming from @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Thanks for doing this interview @hcrichardson.bsky.social Give it a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4diH...

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

NEW: The Trump admin has plans to send thousands of foreigners to Guantanamo beginning as early as this week, including citizens of close allies UK & France, with no intention of notifying their home governments in advance, per sources and documents

Insane…

Since the media is too busy kissing up to the king to actually do their job, maybe we need protests outside ABC, NBC, CBS etc.

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.

CNN: “Israel has intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists, detaining those onboard…” www.cnn.com/2025/06/08/m...

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.

GO @davidjolly.bsky.social GO!!! Florida needs your leadership.

Kinda interested to see how this whole “two trust fund baby billionaires with savior complexes and borderline personality disorder trying to destroy each other” thing plays out

Seriously? You can't make this stuff up: "Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror Prevention." www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

The Medicaid cuts proposed by the GOP are awful on their own. But they could also reduce economic activity — resulting in a loss of 850,000 jobs across the country in both the healthcare industry and beyond. All for tax cuts that will mostly benefit the richest Americans.

It’s finally infrastructure week, now that Biden and the Democrats did the infrastructure bill!

BREAKING: In a serious blow to US pandemic flu preparedness, HHS has cancelled a contract with Moderna to test and license prototype vaccines for #H5N1 #birdflu and other potential pandemic viruses. In a pandemic, mRNA is the fastest way to vaccine doses. www.statnews.com/2025/05/28/m...

A federal judge in Boston said that the Trump administration has violated his April order by deporting a Burmese immigrant to South Sudan without giving him enough time to challenge his removal, despite concerns he was being sent to the wrong country.

Immigration authorities appear to have begun deporting migrants from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan, attorneys for the migrants said in court documents filed Tuesday.

You chose this. For likely the third time, you had a chance to reject his vitriol, to condemn his criminality, to prevent his lawlessness, to denounce his bigotry—and you flat-out refused. That’s not something I can quietly abide. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

Disclosure forms show that Bondi sold her Trump Media stock on April 2, the same day as the president’s “Liberation Day” press conference. Trump Media fell 13% in the following days, before rebounding. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social and @bxroberts.org

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

“This doesn't feel like a strategic plan to reorganize and make the NIH better and more efficient. It feels like a wrecking ball,” says an NIH insider, who asked 60 Minutes to protect his identity due to his concern about reprisal. https://cbsn.ws/3EKcER9

Exactly

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

NEW: Blue Cross authorized mastectomies & breast reconstructions at one hospital, then refused to pay the full doctors' bills. BUT... The insurer did make some exceptions. On several occasions, Blue Cross execs signed deals to pay for their wives’ treatment. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

Yes, in a perfect world, the cautious, reasonable middle would be a great spot. But, this isn't a perfect world. Sometimes diplomacy enables the predators. Sometimes silence is participation. Sometimes the fence is the seat of the coward. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-fascis...

Feel like this story didn't enough attention -- US attorney Ed Martin was just at a fundraiser with Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy and did NOT receive pardons. They're currently appealing their convictions with Ed's office!

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

👇🏽😕

ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt says some Venezuelans with no known gang ties are now in one of the most hardcore prisons in the world and may never see the light of day again. https://cbsn.ws/3XO21TT

Tonight’s @60minutes.bsky.social episodes broke my heart. I can’t believe this is who America has become. We should all be outraged.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

Musk's pac now offering $50 to people who "snap a picture outside of a voting location with a WI resident holding a photo of" Brad Schimel It's illegal in Wisconsin to "engage in electioneering" within 100 feet of polling place
