Breaking:   WASHINGTON (AP) - Health secretary removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on how vaccines should be used.

After only five months in office, Trump has transformed the Department of Justice into an instrument for voter suppression. This should come as no surprise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

A ton of important developments and cases to watch in court. I explain. youtu.be/8w_c6njsEDA

Exactly.

Emergency Rally in Solidarity with the People of Los Angeles to End ICE Raids Now ‼️🇺🇸✊ #Boston will stand for Liberty. Monday, June 9 @ 2pm Boston City Hall - Circle Plaza #NoKings #50501protest

President Trump’s attempts to weaponize our military to deter people from peacefully protesting is as unAmerican as it gets. Peaceful protest is a foundation of our democracy and the American people will not be deterred.

This is the kind of backbone we need. Stand up! No cowering.

She was right.

He lost by 82 points (91%-9%).

So much this…

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

EXCLUSIVE: California Gov. Gavin Newsom addresses immigration protests in Los Angeles. "Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight ... His mess — we're trying to clean it up," Newsom said.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Worth a watch.

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

"The former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan is leaving the law firm Paul Weiss to join Jenner & Block, defecting from a firm that struck a deal with the Trump administration to sign on instead with one that fought it in court..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

This amazing post by ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran is 💯 spot on! Thank you for speaking the truth, Terry!!!

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

At ABC News paying Trump $ is fine, telling the truth is not. Support pro-democracy independent media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Terry Moran reported what he saw as the truth. In my opinion, this isn’t an “opinion” as much as a reporter who has observed an individual and reported on what he has observed. This is the kind of information. American needs to know.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

January Trump approval on the economy: plus +8.24 points Today Trump approval on the economy: minus -15.75 January Trump approval on inflation: plus +1.99 Today Trump approval on inflation: minus -22.24 So clearly it's time to deploy the Marines in L.A.? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

On his first day in office, Donald Trump pardoned 169 people who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6.

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out. (2018) www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

An anti-voting lawsuit filed Friday is demanding full access to Utah’s voter registration list — including records that are private or classified as protected under state law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Notable clip today👇 in light of the news that the Trump administration successfully pressured ABC into suspending Moran

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

As the Trump admin continues to focus on creating “made for TV moments,” we will continue to work every day to protect the American people’s rights, the rule of law, the ability to peacefully assemble, and trust and security in communities across the nation.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

NEW VIDEO: My exclusive rundown of the top things to watch in court this week for democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w_c...

One apparent reason why GOP legislators are getting cold feet about proof of citizenship laws for voter registration: They’re worried about disenfranchising their own voters, advocates say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

NEW: The tactic has been used by autocrats the world over — including in Turkey, Hungary and El Salvador — to erode perceptions of the courts’ legitimacy and weaken the rule of law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal
