Rep. Aguilar: "U.S. code...cites 3 examples and circumstances for the guard...invasion...rebellion...or the president is unable to execute the laws of the U.S." Hegseth: "I don't know...Sounds like all three to me." Rep. Aguilar: "You think the president is unable to execute the laws of the U.S.?"

The head of a new RFK-backing group promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. @annamerlan.bsky.social reports on Leland Lehrman, executive director of the MAHA Institute.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

Watching Tom Homan talk and Stephen Miller tweet really drives home the fact that not only are they not sending in their best and their brightest, they don't HAVE any best or brightest.

NEW: A data broker owned by major airlines sold domestic US flight data to DHS, telling the dept. not to disclose that, according to records obtained by @404media.co—copublished in partnership with @wired.com. No paywall bc FOIA @josephcox.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

Don't remember this book for some reason

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

I just called Congressman Sam Graves‘s office to ask about highway funding and the young man told me I didn’t know understand which district I live in and then hung up on me. Here’s Sam’s Kansas City number if you have any questions about highway funding: 816.792.3976

here's today's post: "a police state, but with morons" — Donny and his Sewer Clowns suck at fascism — like everything else they do. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Worst president in U.S. history.

I think because some part of me wanted to feel better about our own situation, I've been reading Mao's Last Revolution, about the Cultural Revolution. At one level, boy yes, a reminder of how much much much worse politics can get, but also more than a few moments of recognition that are discomfiting

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

MURRAY: I want to know what's the total number of employees who left the agency as a result of the administration's personnel actions? BHATTACHARYA: We'll get those numbers MURRAY: I told you I was gonna ask for this. How come you don't have it? B: My misunderstanding M: I was being very clear

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

In case it isn’t clear yet, the orange felon is creating as much chaos as possible so that it leads to a civil war in the United States and him saying he doesn’t want a civil war is total bullshit, that’s exactly what he wants, he is a criminal after all and he’s out for revenge.

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

This is a pretty important point!

Oh.

RFK Jr. destroyed vaccine trust for decades and now claims he is going to restore it? open.substack.com/pub/immunolo...

Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee. “It’s a massive story in terms of the implications of where this may be going,” Jack Blanchard says on #playbookpod, “Everyone knows RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines.” 🎧 ow.ly/GJCP50W6UzG

KFF’s @drewaltman.bsky.social discusses how the policy changes and cuts being considered by Republicans to the Marketplaces will directly affect their own voters — as roughly 10 million MAGA supporters and Republicans get coverage through the ACA Marketplaces. on.kff.org/3HNyYdG

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

@greenhousemd.bsky.social

I'm grateful that if I post that Stephen Miller is a hateful dickbag on social media, no one can fire me from MSW Media because I own it. I might not be your cup of tea, but thanks to all who support independent media 💙🙏

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

RFK dismisses vaccine panel Hey, hey RFK how many people did you kill today? He is a fucking idiot
