NEW: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s termination of hundreds of NIH grants was “void and illegal.” He ordered funding for some of the grants, including many profiled by ProPublica in recent months, to be reinstated. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social

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.

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.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Why is Kristi Noem’s bone-chilling pledge of a “regime change” in Calif not getting media coverage?! Noem’s speech yesterday called for "liberating" Calif from Gov Newsom and Mayor Bass. Trump wants to remove elected officials who defy him. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/why-is-kri...

They have literally already indicted a member of Congress for daring to try to inspect a private prison where they are detaining kidnapped migrants. She was shoved while trying to protect an elder member of congress, yet it is Rep. LaMonica McIver who is being charged with assault.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

Advocating violence against an elected official. How Christian.

LAPD’s Chief says they still have no idea what the military’s mission in LA is. There are no open deconfliction channels between the military and local law enforcement. Having multiple groups with weapons operating in the same area with no way to communicate is fucking insane.

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

Good for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. He is free now and his legacy is secure. He will be remembered for speaking out and not bending the knee. Also he will make more money now and have a bigger platform and influence. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b...
