We are all completely heartbroken by the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, the peaceful protester who was killed at the Salt Lake City rally on Saturday night. If you can, please consider supporting his family while we hold them in our hearts.

I guess it wouldn't be a Monday if we didn't end up with some extra fuckery from the orange house. Apparently, veterans and potential employees of the VA could be denied treatment or a job based solely on their political affiliation and martial status. #SheShed www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

the man literally had dinner with the top investors in his memecoin

The Senate Majority leader is lying

Saudi Arabia has executed another journalist, Turki Al-Jasser, after 7 years of detention for reporting on corruption. The failure to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi only encourages further acts of deadly violence against journalists in the Persian Gulf & elsewhere.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...

What a legacy and what a tragedy 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

Michigan Democrats describe Smit’s crusade, which has included a parade of election deniers testifying before the committee — as a conspiracy-fueled partisan effort to discredit Benson, who is running for governor, and plant the seeds to sow discord ahead of the 2026 election.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of yesterday’s #NoKings protests continue to spread. On tomorrow’s mass call, we’ll discuss how we do that with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

#YoungKim voted YES on #HR22 #SAVEAct #SafeguardAmericanVoterEligibilityAct on 4/10/2024 that requires voters to provide proof of US citizenship when voting in federal elections. This is a hate bill--in 2016 election 23.5M votes were counted, of which only 30 votes were non-citizens. Unnecessary law

Ross told me he enlisted in the Marines when he was 17 because he loves his country and to help his parents get a path to citizenship. protesting directly in front of Marines deployed by President Trump he told me "it makes me feel sad... a lot of Marines, they’re all Hispanic."

I’m sure Trump will tweet about how awesome the parade was since it clearly wasn’t and he is a gaslighter

Police shot stun grenades and rubber bullets, then turned to tear gas, in Los Angeles on Saturday. The gathering there was separate from the local “No Kings” event.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

Yes - we corrected that on the air. Thank you. He said Senator Padilla should be censured.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

As the night went on, protestors continued to peacefully protest on the street. Denver police aggressively blocked off the street, kettled protestors, and used pepper bullets and tear gas. Denver SWAT is seen boxing in protestors from all sides. #50501Movement #NoKings #Denver #Colorado

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

This was my last story as an NPR correspondent. It looks at the documented history of Trump touting eugenics, allowing in only white South African refugees, deporting more and more categories of (non white) people, and the opening of an "office of remigration" ... www.npr.org/2025/06/14/n...

“Dr. King said early on that there is no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people, and I believed that. I experienced it.” - John Lewis Did you all experience that yesterday? I sure did! Link here to see pics from across the nation:

With my mom and several thousand others at the No Kings rally in Dana Point—the biggest political rally I’ve ever seen in South OC. On Flag Day and the Army’s 250th, we remember: the flag stands for freedom, not one man. We honor those who serve—but we don’t serve kings. #NoKings

Protestors in Denver continued to march towards the highway, and were met with police force on the corner of Colfax and Osage. The protestors were unarmed and were met with tear gas and pepper bullets. #fiftyfiftyone #denver

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.
