Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

Jamie Raskin: We've got no kings and we've got no slaves, we've got no masters and no serfs...The moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people, that is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again.

The second-generation German immigrant in the White House probably doesn't know that Mexicans have been in the United States in Texas and California for way more generations than his family has. #OnYourSide

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

A real life American Hero... not hiding behind a mask. I bet soon we will know his name. We salute you brother for your civil courage and the eloquence.

Q: You mentioned being worried about the safety of protesters, but are you also worried about members of law enforcement? Bass: “I’m worried about everybody. And the idea that the federal government, that should be assisting us, is a contributing factor is very tragic.”

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

🧵 Her crime?—Daring to cry “He’s not a criminal” after agents grabbed her father off the street in front of her. A jackbooted thug pointed a gun at her while opening a car door with the other hand. We need to protect our immigrants & their families. Please see resources & CTAs in my thread.

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants? J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

June 6, 1944 marks the invasion of Normandy, when the "Greatest Generation" risked everything to help free Europe from the grips of tyranny. Today, 🇺🇸 is held in vise by its own tyrant... But I choose to believe in the version of 🇺🇸 that "can STILL be a beacon of freedom." 🎥 @lincolnproject (Insta)

We need @maddow.msnbc.com on tonight!!

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

Whitehouse on Trump’s attacks on Leonard Leo: This whole thing is hysterical… The fact that Trump is furious with him right now may signal a dawning realization: that he actually might not have truly chosen his Supreme Court appointees.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Happy 8th bday, covfefe 🤡

CNN uncovered audio from RFK's radio show where he read aloud and endorsed a description of Trump and his supporters as belligerent idiots, cowards, and bootlickers.

Citizens United amounts to legalized bribery – plain and simple.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

If you need a little hope this morning

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.  And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.   Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.
