(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ON TRUMP'S ORDERS, THE U.S. ARMED FORCES ARE DETAINING AMERICAN CITIZENS OUTSIDE AN INVOCATION OF THE INSURRECTION ACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY We are living in historically dark times. No American can any longer leave their home without being aware of this.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

If you're looking for a counter to the master plan that's legalized the buying of elections, look at systems that publicly finance candidates. Without such a system in NY, there probably woulda been no well-financed competitive opponent against Cuomo & his oligarch donors. MasterPlanPodcast.com

“Junior lawyers at the firm help set the exit in motion. … A group of litigation associates made it clear to partners they were looking to leave …. The partners began making plans to bring their clients with them and looked for a firm they were sure wouldn’t sign a similar deal.”

"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-civ...

Chris Hayes: “It is going to require this kind of democratic force and mobilization against the Trump administration constantly. Believe me, I know it is exhausting. But there will be a million more small victories along the way.”

“We found this individual possessed a second, far more lethal string of words locked and loaded, and I’m terrified to think how the situation would have shaken out if he’d been able to say even one of them aloud,” said Kristi Noem theonion.com/kristi-...

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

NEW: Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon The administration has canceled a deal, signed under President Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon. With @opb.org

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Remember when Republicans were all about major appliances.

Pete Hegseth was different after Signalgate, according to six people in a position to know. He was more prone to anger and less likely to be clean-shaven in the morning. He seemed reluctant to make decisions; scared of doing the wrong thing, paralyzed as he awaited orders from the White House.

Quiet Part Out Loud? Sounds a lot like she’s saying they’re there to liberate the city from its elected government.

As an exercise, try to imagine Ron Johnson being wrestled to the ground in Wisconsin; or Tommy Tuberville in Alabama; or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah, neither can I. charliesykes.substack.com/p/no-kings-n...

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.* Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

Charlie depends on Medicaid for therapy, equipment, and the support he needs to go to school. We heard from his mom, Nancy, who worries that Congressional Republicans’ Big Betrayal could take away Charlie’s health care. He’s why we keep fighting.

Despite video we all saw, @NBCNews is treating indisputable facts — that @AlexPadilla4CA did NOT burst into the room and DID ID himself — as debatable. So *journalism* is now where you’re not even allowed to say what you see with your own eyes? 🤔 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Congrats to great colleague/fellow podcaster @eosnos.bsky.social on his new book out today with the best title, ‘The Haves and the Have-Yachts,’ a summer must read for these oligarchic times

There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Damn, that's crazy, I wonder if anyone has a recording of the event to figure out who was telling the truth. If only there were journalists who worked for this organization who could find out what happened!

"Senators charging cabinet secretaries." In the segregationist South, civil rights activsts were frequently held guilty of assault for things like getting their head in the way of the butt of a pistol swung by an officer of the law. This is the same kind of tyranny we're talking about.

Many students at Southern Illinois University come from families that are poor, or barely middle class, and depend on scholarships. Vice Chancellor Paul Frazier says the way DEI has been politicized ignores what it actually does: “Poor doesn’t have a color.” (Published March 2025)

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

NEW @motherjones.com: Spoke to 6 domestic violence shelters/orgs in LA about the chilling effects of ICE: They’re closing their doors & survivors are afraid to seek help. “DV programs should be safe sanctuaries & we can’t even guarantee that anymore,” one said. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Iran should gift Trump a plane. I'm serious.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

Pritzker and Newsom are showing the way.

These are the times that try men’s souls.
