KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

ICE just blocked Rep. Dan Goldman and me from inspecting their detention center at 26 Federal Plaza, where migrants are reportedly being forced to sleep on the floor for days at a time.

As a former Republican who still speaks with Republicans daily, I wholeheartedly endorse asking every Republican you know this question.👇

From 'Fortunate Son' to 'Y.M.C.A.', Trump is oblivious to the irony of his song choices open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

More Democrats growing a spine in real time. This was unexpected from @governor.ny.gov but she delivered a great message.

The entire reason for having Senate confirmation/advice & consent, let alone impeachment, is to avoid situations like this (a compromised incompetent DNI). Quite clearly, that system cannot even pass the lowest-bar cases now. A total Article I constitutional crisis, unprecedented in 🇺🇸 history.

Well it does matter to some of us!

You could literally have a news show called “Worse than Watergate” that entirely featured Trump scandals from the previous week that were worse than Watergate

Always.

Language was REMOVED from VA hospital guidelines requiring healthcare professionals care for vets regardless of their politics/marital status, & allowing doctors & other medical staff to be barred from working at VA hospitals based on same parameters. WTF? 1/2 www.murray.senate.gov/trump-admini...

Republicans are using Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill to sell off our public lands and defund our National Parks. @titus.house.gov breaks down this threat in today’s Democratic Daily Download.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

TACO didn’t do that. Every single person who enabled him by voting for him, voting third party or not voting at all, did that. EVERYBODY IN AMERICA KNEW that he hates the Constitution & wanted to be a dictator. He said as much repeatedly. WE ALL KNEW IT! So America is now divided into two

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

I assume the service members out there today realize that the tradeoff for the cost of the parade was probably a million things that could make their professional lives better and safer. What a shitty way to treat the people under your command

Holy moly.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

I love the fact that Trump’s birthday parade today was a total dud, with a pathetically tiny crowd. That contrasts with the MILLIONS of people who turned out nationwide for the “No Kings” protests against Trump. #NoKingsDay

This.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

There are protests all over Orange County California. This is one we stopped at. It was on both sides of the street and one of the largest I’ve ever seen in this area. I became a bit emotional seeing this & knowing it was happening in every state. It gives me hope we can survive the Nazi onslaught

Financial disclosures reveal that Trump is raking in the dough from crypto, golf clubs, and licensing fees.

Aha! Even FOX couldn’t deny it!!

Protestors in LA marching. No surprise, LA showed out today! #50501 #fiftyfiftyone #50501movement #50501protest #nokings #protest #losangeles #california

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Hello from the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. The park is already pretty filled up, and it doesn’t actually start for another 30 minutes.

Provo UT folks!

#nokings Annapolis Haven’t even started

Dear God, watch this ad to the end. Then share, and tell Congress to stop the abductions this Father's Day. www.nea.org/advocating-f...

Another unqualified Trump appointee!

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

Trump’s Military Parade and the harrassment of Senator Padilla Signal Alarming Turn Toward Authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

So this military parade in DC tomorrow which Trump says is only to honor the Army will only be about the Army and not himself, and since tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent on it with thousands of active duty troops, there will not be any partisan politics right?

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.
