BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Waving the Confederate flag doesn’t make me a racist.” No dear, of course not. Being a racist makes you wave the Confederate flag.

Seems appropriate… #NoKings youtu.be/30W3iRL48gQ?...

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

BALDWIN: What is the authority that the administration is using to deploy active duty Marines to California neighborhoods? HEGSETH: The president has constitutional authority BALDWIN: Cite the provision of the Constitution HEGSETH: I'd have to pull up the specific provision

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was formally indicted Tuesday for attempting to stop ICE agents trying to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka during a congressional oversight visit. She calls the charges “purely political” and says she won’t be intimidated. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We feed you. They hunt us.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship. What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

The budget that Congress is considering would be a disaster for workers. It would kick 16 million people off their health insurance and raise prices for everyone else, gut SNAP food assistance and more. No wonder the budget’s supporters can't defend it.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health exists to lead research that will keep workers safe on the job. Dismantling NIOSH will put more working people at risk, plain and simple. Workers’ safety is not expendable — it’s essential.

MOORE: If I give you a tax cut, am I spending out of the treasury to do that, yes or no? BESSENT: Not if we create more income MOORE: Okay. We're talking about a gambler's fallacy.

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We stand with IAMAW Automobile Mechanics Local 701 members on strike at Arrow Gear in Downers Grove, IL! (2301 S. Curtiss St.) They’ve been on strike since May 5, fighting for fair wages and working conditions. The picket line is 24-7. Stop by and show your support!

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

It should be a priority for these guys to be informed somehow that ICE gets hotel rooms. Where are the Marines going to bunk?

Donald Trump thinks his rule is absolute, but in America, we don’t do “kings.” We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption. Join us on June 14 to remind Trump and his enablers: America has No King! Register: www.mobilize.us/indivisiblec...

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.” The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

This is beyond horrific. If Biden did this Republicans would call for his impeachment and removal. This should be no different.

FREE injured & imprisoned SEIU CA Pres. David Huerta NOW. This is Trump’s America: Four armed agents kneeling on a union president for the ‘crime’ of observing their terror raids. ICE. FBI. DEA. Local police. All working to silence worker power. We will not forget—or forgive. #FREEDAVIDHUERTA

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

This. A good explainer of how Medicaid cuts work.

APOLLO: “With mortgage rates close to 7% and home prices at all-time highs, the share of first-time home buyers as a share of all houses sold has declined from 50% in 2010 to only 24% today ..”

From the NYC Central Labor Council Unions raise the standards for all workers.

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.
