WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Speech of a lifetime from @governor.ca.gov, who truly met the moment tonight. I've been critical of Newsom in the past, but this is what we need to hear from governors and elected officials across the nation right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQ...

The CDC is rehiring more than 400 people who had received layoff notices. Around half of those employees are in the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

"We're not talking about luxuries here. We're talking about bananas and carrots. You can't say that you care about kids and then take away that basics that let them grow up to be healthy." @underwood.house.gov and Dems are fighting to keep food on the tables of working families.

Story like this informs why no band has ever been named, "Itchy Trigger Fingers."

CNN ran a clip of my interview with @governor.ca.gov from today. Absolutely unhelpful to have National Guard and Marines in LA.

Over & over again, Sen Dems asked Joint Chiefs nominee Dan Caine if he would push back on Trump if he tried to politicize the military, as his predecessors had to do. He assured Senators he would. Where is Caine now? In hiding? Witness protection? What is he doing about this?

What's next?

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

The CDC is reinstating more than 400 people who had received layoff notices. The rehiring, announced internally Wednesday, marks the largest number of employees that the agency has asked back to date. ANOTHER GIANT REPUBLICAN WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

It sure looked like soldiers supported Trump at his stupid little rally at Fort Bragg, didn't it? It was all fake, all set up by Trump. It was a staged television show. And it was not legal.

Uber doesn't give its delivery or ride share drivers health insurance. Uber workers count on federal health care programs that will be cut under the Republican bill.

COONS: Treasury and State were rolling out new sanctions designations every few weeks much of last year. How many new Russian entitles have you designated under your sanctions authority since January? BESSENT: I will get back to you with that number COONS: The answer is zero

Did you know that 2/3 of America's fruit comes from California? Did you know that 80% of US wine is grown in CA & 1/3 the country's veggies? Over 75% of agricultural workers here are undocumented. If we abduct them, food will become scarce & prices will soar!

GOOD NEWS: The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the Republican-led State Elections Board exceeded its authority in passing a handful of controversial anti-voting rules last year. Paige Moskowitz and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=16wS...

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

The Georgia Supreme Court has invalidated rules the state election board tried to impose before the presidential election, including a move to change the way officials finalize vote totals that drew wide concern, per @ajc.com

🎉 Dems have now overperformed by an avg. of *17 pts* in Special Elections so far in 2025! 📣 There's over TWO DOZEN more this year; next up: 6/24/25: AL SD-05: Ryan Cagle 6/24: NH HD-STAF24: Billie Butler Donate TODAY! #Blue25 secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...

‘States with permissive gun laws experienced a rise in pediatric deaths from firearm injuries between 2011 and 2023, whereas states with stricter laws did not.’ That's according to a new study published in JAMA Pediatrics. Tell me again, how gun reform doesn’t work…

Did you know The Democrats have a new daily news show on YouTube? It airs every day at 7 am PST/10 am EST. It’s called the Daily Blueprint. This is long overdue. I’ve subscribed. Let’s help build their following #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=VI4p...

Gavin Newsom’s bullseye: “I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

The LAPD are arresting reporters, shooting reporters and unarmed peaceful people with rubber bullets, causing fires with flash bangs, tear-gassing people for no reason, and destroying their own police cars. Seems like the real violent “insurrectionists” are the cops themselves.

bsky.app/profile/chic... Scary business. Americans need vaccinations! What’s this insane Kennedy decision about? We’ve got to have flu vaccine ready for the Fall. Thanks AMA. We’re not going back to the fúcking Stone Age.
