I try to limit my news intake to stay (relatively) sane, but subscribe to Aaron's newsletter. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in good journalism and analysis.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

The Trump Admin wants to bring back asbestos! You can’t make this shit up. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Exactly how much money do these countries need to invest in Trump coins to satiate "security or diplomatic concerns"?

Does he know that the UK left the EU more than 5 years ago?

“It makes this nomination a real test case of whether the Senate will allow the president to fill the bench with loyalists.” - Nunziata of the nomination of Emil Bove to the Third Circuit

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

If Noem doesn’t know who the California senator is, what else doesn’t she know?

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

🔥🔥🔥

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Trump’s provocations have turned Angelenos into pedestrians

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

"You do see a country where there's an element of unraveling" - @timmiller.bsky.social Watch his response to the horrific targeted assassination of two lawmakers in Minnesota

Look at downtown LA right now

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that current communication between the US and Russia resembles a “warm conversation" Such a tone only reinforces the Russian ruler’s confidence, as Vladimir Putin does not want peace, he added euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/14/r...

To mobilize the National Guard, Trump cited 10 U.S.C. 12406, which authorizes the president to do so when the U.S. faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when he cannot otherwise execute the laws. This is NOT such an occasion. So today’s coup is manifestly illegal and must be stopped judicially.

President Zelenskyy in an interview with Newsmax: "Trump can stop him [Putin].For that to happen,Putin must lose money.Only by losing money will he be unable to grow his army or increase military spending.That will lead to internal problems.That is a fact.To achieve this,sanctions must be imposed."

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

🤦🏼‍♀️

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

These are the times that try men’s souls.

Homeland Security can’t even bring itself to apologize.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

Yes, just imagine.

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.
