Calls grow for Kristi Noem to resign in the wake of Padilla incident

Why do you think the oligarchs took direct control of social media and manipulated it towards the far right? 2020 scared the shit out of them and they spent the last 5 years making sure it couldn't happen again.

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

I'm really struck by the number of people who are taking Trump's "I was playing 4D chess in the Middle East all along" bullshit seriously. Struck...and, candidly, kind of embarrassed for those people. www.thedailybeast.com/how-iran-str...

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked Trump’s attempt to overhaul elections, siding with Democratic state attorneys general who called it overreach.

OK - Some more good news. Senate strips provision prohibiting the courts from enforcing #contempt. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

My latest scoop: ICE has rescinded its accountability policy for warrantless arrests, giving agents “free license to make any arrest,” per one lawyer representing victims. It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.

Different costume, same sentiment.

JD Vance flew to Montana for secret meeting with Rupert Murdoch and Fox News executives www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

🚨New: “Trump Org Keeps Bringing In Foreign Workers To Staff Its Clubs And Winery” It’s sought to import 1,880 foreign workers since 2008, per Labor Dept. records—including 31 farm workers for its vineyard this year. me, for @forbes.com 1/

Reports coming in that people managed to break out and escape horrific ICE prison in #NewJersey. "About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room..." www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.

Treasury is developing new rules that would strip the tax-exempt status of colleges that are deemed to be using race in any way, aligning with the administration's executive orders. This flew under the radar yesterday with everything going on.

HAPPENING NOW: A line at federal court to get into the Kilmar Abrego Garcia arraignment in NASHVILLE. Mostly media. Some national. Much bigger turnout than the Casada corruption trial 😬

Ah yes, nothing says “tough guy” like hiding your face behind a mask while bullying unarmed people. But this response gives me life…

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.

A Marco Rubio aide posted and then quickly deleted a social media attack against President Donald Trump’s ambassador to NATO.

grandmas are our strongest soldiers right now

LA protester charged with assaulting officer says he was the one attacked: ‘I thought I was going to die’

Gift link. Watch the video in the lede: This Is How the Protests Could Break Trump’s Deportation Machine www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...

His corruption trial (there are multiple cases) is still ongoing, too. It’s wild that there’s been so little mention of all of this, in terms of how he’s handled things in Gaza. He was just testifying on Wednesday and said he needed to stop due to illness.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

"This is a Chinese TACO. .. They have seen him in previous instances back down. They made a calculated gamble that he would back down and he did.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Declining school enrollment has left 30% of Chicago public schools at least half-empty. The city’s failure to address this problem has come at a high cost to the district — and its students. With @chalkbeat.org

“Following the court appearances, the faith leaders will have a press conference so that the clear message that people of faith stand with immigrants and refugees can be delivered to the broader public.” 👏🏻👏🏻

The reports emerging from the Middle East are deeply alarming. Europe urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint, de-escalate immediately and refrain from retaliation. A diplomatic resolution is now more urgent than ever, for the sake of the region's stability and global security.

Let's kick veterans out of the city so a draft-dodger can have a costly military parade for his birthday. I can't... 😖

UNREAL: Washing machines, refrigerators and other common household appliances made with steel parts will soon be subject to expanded tariffs, Trump's Commerce Department said Thursday. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...
