Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing.  But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

"Representative Preston Brooks, a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina, used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner, an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts"

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Remind you of anyone?

BREAKING: The GOP-led House Budget Committee just voted to reject Trump's big budget bill — an embarrassing setback for Republicans. Five conservative hardliners joined all Democrats in voting against the bill.

Republicans are targeting food stamps to pay for Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Food stamps and Medicaid. Incredible! Remember in November.

Last week, Trump fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission — the agency that regulates the safety of everyday products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon. Follow the money.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Elon Musk can promote all his business interests as a "special government employee" and all his government decisions serve his business purposes. This isn't just a "conflict of interest." It's a total convergence of his interests.

Americans have a right to know the REAL cost of the Trump Tariffs. My Truth in Tariffs Act will require large retailers to show how much more consumers are paying for an item because of tariffs—President Trump’s foolish new national sales tax.

So the Daily Caller promised a bunch of MAGA fans a blow out 100 day party, featuring Trump at the Kennedy center. Then they moved it to Arlington, no VIPS came, and then asked attendees to bring their own booze. What a grift! www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-world...

You knew the alternative to Ed Martin was only gonna be more insane, and they delivered.

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

Sycophancy exacerbating incompetence

"By adapting the principles of the anti-authoritarian Fourth Amendment to the new frontier of AI law enforcement, legal actors can restrain the authoritarian effects of AI enforcement technologies," argues @mtokson.bsky.social. lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Just 24 hours ago, in a cabinet meeting, Mike Waltz was groveling and praising Trump in true North Korean fashion. Today, he was fired. How embarrassing.

We should never forget that the line Shakespeare wrote about killing all the lawyers was a call to keep the king from the advice and the efforts of his counselors to protect him and the country.
