Doesn’t sound like we need the national guard. 🤔

Thank you!

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Trump clearly want to instigate catastrophic situations so he can declare martial law. Too many people talking about how he’s all over the Epstein list.

But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.

Since Donald was too ascared to go to the tanks in Vietnam, the Army is finally bringing them to him, disgustingly honoring the cowardly draft dodger with a military parade. 🤮

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Ohio food banks are under strain as Trump has slashed federal aid programs. In March, the USDA canceled a pandemic-era program that funded about $500 million annually for food banks. It also froze about $500 million in funding for a core nutrition program reut.rs/45HxMm3

So damaging: “The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science. If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us." www.publicnotice.co/p/adam-serwe...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

If Trump cuts funding to NPR and PBS, it "would disproportionately harm rural areas and smaller communities, where public media really is a lifeline,” PEN America's @timrichardson.bsky.social tells @sulliview.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m calling it: Trump’s going to use Elon as the scapegoat for everything dragging down his poll numbers. The right will buy it—hook, line, and sinker—and forgive him, even as they suffer from his policies.

29,947 people in SW Ohio will lose their healthcare if this budget passes. Hospitals will close. People will die. Kill the bill. Save Ohioans. Save Americans. www.cincinnati.com/story/opinio...

Nothing screams “America First” like saying we should all ignore the guy you handed half the government to five minutes ago.

Those who do not learn from history…

My office and a group of AGs are calling on the FDA to end unnecessary restrictions on Mifepristone.   Medication abortion is safe and effective, and there's no scientific or medical reason to subject it to these restrictions. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The Trump-Fox News "autopen" thing is so obviously contrived and so clearly bad faith that it barely warrants discussion. Except that it's part of the effort to cast any non-Trump politics as illegitimate. Gift link: wapo.st/4jAuxA8

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Not knowing about things doesn’t mean they’re not happening.

The atmosphere is a needy sponge, demanding more and more water as it warms. This "atmospheric thirst" is largely responsible for the increase in drought severity and areal extent seen in the last 40 years, a new study finds. "A hotter world is a thirstier world." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/c...

We must stand up against this senseless cruelty.

Judges across the political spectrum, including 72% of Republican appointees and 80% of Democratic appointees, are ruling against the Trump administration at high rates, according to a recent study from Stanford. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

POCAN: Who's in charge of DOGE if the guy who's taking over for Musk, for just left, he's leaving -- sounds like a circus VOUGHT: The cabinet agencies that are in charge of the DOGE consultants who work for them are fundamentally in charge of DOGE P: Oh, that's an answer only a mother could love

POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Mullin: What were we ranked nationally in math and reading in 1979? McMahon: We were very low on the totem pole. Mullin: We were number one in 1979

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.
