US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

This makes my blood boil!!! This an fought against fascists and had every right to protest against the government!!! WTH??? @booker.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

NEW: Here’s the white nationalist who made the poster that DHS shared of Uncle Sam asking people to "Report All Foreign Invaders" to ICE. The account has recently been retweeting pro-Nazi accounts and posting about why whites should use the n-word www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump has signaled an end date for FEMA. The landscape of disaster safety in the U.S. is about to get far more uneven, Zoë Schlanger writes:

Something that didn’t exist was wrong.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

No parent would ever refer to war as a game.

BREAKING: A federal judge says Trump illegally deployed the National Guard to help with LA protests and must return control to California.

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

California senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference held by homeland security secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles on Thursday. In video of the incident, Padilla is being restrained and removed from the room by multiple men.

Either/or: Take your pick.

Lindsey Graham knows the cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in the Big Beautiful Bill are extreme and unpopular. So he’s working on separate legislation to force the cuts through if they get removed. Unreal. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...

JD Vance, Podcaster Joke That “Gay” Frederick Douglass Fought to End Slavery to “Meet Men” The vice president laughed as abolition was reduced to a dating motive—just days before Juneteenth meidasnews.com/news/jd-vanc...

“They are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place.” -Trump DUHHH!!’ Of course this situation is escalating. Unqualified ppl are playing around like this is a video game. International security is a specialized field and diplomacy is a skill, not a Tweet. apnews.com/article/stat...

Rubio would’ve sent Hitler a birthday card in 1943.

When your @AGAlanWilson is careless with their words and the power of their voice, we must be safe and aware. As a SC Dem, we don't support lawlessness and we truly back our blue but can all of you say the same? #SCPol #New52

Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: ✅ Free school meals ✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit ✅ Paid family and medical leave

As the tariffs created chaos for working families and businesses, members of Congress with insider info were trading stocks and profiting from the turmoil. This is infuriating. It’s past time that we ban members of Congress from trading stocks. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/p...

“This deployment only serves one person’s agenda. It doesn’t help any of the people of California.” — Army National Guard Veteran No disaster. No request. Just a political show of force ordered from above. It’s not about protecting Californians—it’s about controlling them.

$134 million that should be going to LA’s fire recovery. Shameful.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social highlighting a new report that estimates 302,608 Virginians will lose their health insurance if President Trump and Republicans’ tax plan is enacted:

The cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that Lindsey Graham supports will decimate rural hospitals that are already struggling to stay open. As Senator, I’ll fight to protect these programs and stop the rural healthcare crisis. www.postandcourier.com/health/medic...

The First Amendment specifically prohibits the government from using heavy force on citizens who protest the government. bsky.app/profile/atru...

In 2024, there were 502 mass shootings. 5,151 kids lost to gun violence. 16,576 people killed. During #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth we remember that everyone who we have lost to senseless gun violence is somebody’s someone. We have to put a stop to gun violence.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

This finding reinforces what we already know: Strong gun safety laws work, full stop.

But, but, but, the Founding Fathers wanted everyone to have an assault weapon… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Lindsey Graham and his allies are targeting MEDICARE to pay for their “big beautiful bill.” Patients fighting cancer shouldn’t have to fight their senator too. I’ll be a senator that fights for you, not the Swamp.

“When the sick and lame approached Jesus, he did not say, ‘Depart from me, for thou shalt die anyway,’” writes our columnist David French.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

If you are curious about what’s really going on

Government spending on Medicaid - a vital program for 1.1 million South Carolinians - is a “problem” according to Lindsey Graham.

Background checks work. Because of them, a larger massacre was prevented. Sadly, this administration is working to undermine the work done to enhance background checks during the Biden administration. www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

Don’t sleep on South Carolina y’all!

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Thank you, @durbin.senate.gov, for introducing a Wear Orange Resolution in Congress alongside @robinkelly.house.gov to help spread awareness about our nation’s senseless, preventable gun violence crisis.

Happy Pride Month🏳️‍🌈 Felt like a great day to wear some vintage 2022 campaign merch. Those who have been here awhile know where I stand. I stand up for what’s right even when it’s not the popular thing to do. Always have. Always will. Annie is for Everyone🏳️‍🌈

Can't believe Joni Ernst needs this explained to her, but here goes: It is immoral and un-Christian to do nothing to prevent people from dying. Seems obvious, but unfortunately the GOP is hellbent on putting their own constituents at risk.

Awkward way for Joni Ernst to find out she isn’t funny. Let’s stop sending people like Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham to the Senate.

We went so viral this week I’m worried RFK Jr. is going to start telling people to take vitamin A and ivermectin to get rid of me. Spoiler alert: it won’t work for the measles and it won’t work for me
