Sen. Schatz: “Can you give us some clarification on whether the orders that were issued apply specifically to Los Angeles, California generally, or is this a nationwide order?” Hegseth: “The orders...relate to an ongoing issue that could expand to other places.”

The major US government website Climate.gov, which supports public education on climate science, looks likely to be shuttered after almost all of its staff were fired, the Guardian has learned.

A U.S. citizen in her ninth month of pregnancy was hospitalized with sharp stomach pains after being arrested — and later released — by ICE agents who accused her of obstructing the arrest of her undocumented husband.

Reminder that the Pentagon is about to have a trillion dollar budget. And yet it can't recruit any qualified people to advise the Fox News host running it. Oh, and it still can't pass an audit.

So i watched hank greens vid on the LA riots youtu.be/9ChIo3Ubdbo and yeah its depressing as fuck. Any shot of violence there is just being used to widen the rifts. But then the tiktok that he linked of this kid he is so good "Humanize faster then they can Militarize" www.tiktok.com/@cypher.j/vi...

"Florida child welfare authorities turned over a 17-year-old foster child to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents... The decision to alert immigration authorities to Henry’s status as an undocumented migrant is at odds with decades of child welfare practice in Florida."

He added, “I can tell you that if they try to do that in Mobile, Alabama, the orthopedic hand surgeons will have one hell of a weekend fixing hands. That barricade can become a weapon.” www.al.com/news/2025/06...

The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

If there were still an office of public integrity at the dept of justice, the decision to prosecute a sitting member of Congress of the opposite party would’ve had serious vetting. But the OPI was dismantled early on, I fear for exactly this purpose.

Woke Marxist Scalia.

Help, my libertarian stateless fantasy currency requires the resources and legitimacy of the state to protect me! sherwood.news/crypto/the-a...

As Marines arrive in L.A., military experts raise concerns: ‘This could spiral out of control’ Jenny Jarvie, Grace Toohey www.latimes.com/california/s...

Trump and his authoritarian lackeys are spreading lies about immigrant workers in Los Angeles. Know the truth.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

NEW: The board of the Fulbright Program has just resigned after accusing Trump aides of political interference. They say a State Dept. office under Rubio and Darren Beattie has cancelled scholarships to nearly 200 US professors and researchers. Story: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

The team responsible for updating the CDC’s “contraception bible,” which advises doctors on birth control safety, was disbanded.

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired #Climate

Finally… I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this story. So sad. Climate[dot]gov has always been one of my favorite go-to resources to share.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

That’s one lede no company wants to be part of. $VZ @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/med...

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Susan Collins is concerned.

JUST IN: Two ballot measures to protect public libraries from the conservative city council in Huntington Beach are both ahead by very wide margins. Measure to repeal a 'book review committee' up 61/39. Measure to bar privatization up 63/37. That's already with 51K+ ballots counted. Context:

The media is going to BOTH SIDES us right into martial law

it also makes me think about how wrong media must have gotten other city-based events. like I was in DC for 2020 and that did feel chaotic as hell but I wasn't in, say, Portland or Minneapolis. I'm in LA now and I cannot tell you how much nothing is happening in 99% of the area.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

MSNBC correspondent in the heart of LA… @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepTimBurchett guessing the Fox fear fest pipe you’re hitting all day long isn’t showing y’all this…

Here's what using your military domestically to protect and serve your people actually looks like.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

62 years ago today, JFK signed the Equal Pay Act into law. Yet in 2023, women in VA were still being paid about 79 cents for every dollar a man made for doing the same job. That's not fair, which is why I’ll keep pushing to turn the Paycheck Fairness Act into law to ensure fair pay.

At least six companies—Verizon, Ralph Lauren, Amazon, Unilever, Pinterest, and Lego—have been threatened into ad spend on the platform rather than risk the frivolous lawsuits backed by the power of the DOJ to extort companies into compliance.

So now that we’ve seen the real tapper he won’t be moderating any debates, right?

"An American president ordering materiel into the nation’s capital might be, on its own, a regrettable instance of jingoism run amok. In the current climate, there is no way to interpret it as anything other than a show of force." Against us, to be clear.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

I feel sick to my stomach. DC right now. #nokings

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.
