In a propaganda-fest which just aired on Meet The Press, Trump essentially threatened Musk—saying there would be consequences if he donates to Democrats. Wait, what? From Scott Dworkin’s column. Now we are not allowed to donate to who we want. What kind of freedom is this.

Protests continued in the Los Angeles-area yesterday against the Trump regime’s ICE operations. In response to a select few causing trouble, Trump said he was sending in 2,000 members of the National Guard. Let’s be real. Trump doesn’t care about law and order. From Scott Dworkin’s column.

I grew up in Ohio. As a high school student we protested against the Kent State Massacre. Young military men and women should never be lined up against other Americans. It is even worse they are political reasons. One man trying to become king. It is time to fight back.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Ahem.

Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump,” Newsom wrote on X.

Andy Craig, who studies election law and policy, noted today that “[m]ass deportation and immigration enforcement in the interior requires a police state, and the more of that you want, the more obviously it will look and act like a police state.” From Heather Cox Richardson’s column.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Excellent Question! Answer: It Was Always A Lie!

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman said “It’s deeply troubling that someone with such contempt for religious freedom is allowed to serve in this body. This should have never been allowed to happen. America was founded as free nation, and I believe the conduct of its legislators should reflect that truth.”

“Once again the this court dons its emergency responder gear, rushes to the scene , and uses its equitable power to fan the flames rather than extinguish them,” Jackson wrote. From an NPR article today.

Proving just how gross Trump can be, his NJ golf club received a 32 out of 100 on its health inspection—making it the lowest score for a business in the county. The 18 violations are another reminder that everything Trump touches turns disgusting. From Scott Dworkin’s column.

Democrats had a strong night in Mississippi on Tuesday, flipping several seats from red to blue. They even defeated a few incumbent Republican mayors. All in all, it was a horrible sign for the GOP, mirroring Dem gains in other recent elections. From Scott Dworkin’s column.

In DC, the Democratic Party got creative and parked A “TACO” truck near the GOP’s headquarters. It featured an image of Trump in a chicken costume, with a sign that read: “Trump Always Chickens Out.” From Scott Dworkin’s column.

The orange TACOs tariff on aluminum has caused Coca-Cola to decide to leave America. A company that is over a hundred years old and a Berkshire Hathaway owned corporation strikes back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=esBc...

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

How are the MAGAs liking Musk today? 😂 We agree the bill is an abomination, but don’t get it twisted, Musk. It only took an international boycott to get you to change your tune. We’re still boycotting you. We haven’t forgotten. Foxtrot Echo Mike.

Parking Lot Lawyer Alina Habba gets sued for violating Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s constitutional rights. My latest for the Katie Phang News channel on YouTube: youtu.be/9aI9FNidFGA

Sen. Booker (D-NJ): “I am sick and tired of hearing this kind of heated partisan rhetoric, which is one of the reasons we have divisions in this country. The attacks we see from POTUS, trolling and dragging judges is what we should be talking about that puts people in danger.”

Newark Mayor sues Alina Habba, alleging 'false arrest and malicious prosecution'

A guy who heads a right-wing group told Congress today that I am a "Democratic 'super-lawyer' whose partisanship is unrivaled." I feel seen...

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

On Meet the Press this weekend, Warnock responded to a question about Biden and the 2024 campaign by stating: “Here's what we absolutely know about last year's election—it's over.” Yes, it is. And corporate media needs to stop constantly criticizing Biden as if he’s still in office.

open.substack.com/pub/davidpep... Wasn’t this what Republicans didn’t want? I guess they don’t think it will bother them because they are MAGA.

Since he took office on January 20, 2025, Trump has taken just 14 PDBs, or fewer than one a week on average. In the same period, President Barack Obama took 63, and President Joe Biden took 90. From Heather Cox Richardson’s column. No wonder he only knows what he is told, he can’t read.

Spare us the fake outrage.

Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin went on MSNBC and didn’t hold back on his criticism of the Trump regime: “This is a gangster state … It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people.” From Scott Dworkin’s column.

TD COWEN: “Given Trump's public ire against previous court rulings and the press questions on May 28 around the 'TACO' narrative emerging in the media (Trump Always Chickens Out), we would not be surprised to see a meaningful tariff escalation/response from the White House sooner rather than later."

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

Learning is fun.
