Trump’s America:
— A sitting U.S. Senator cuffed by federal agents
— Military in the streets
— A birthday parade with tanks and jets
— Threats to arrest political opponents
Sound familiar?
Yeah. Read this.

Our shame ...
What.the.what?
Trump lied about LA being a war zone to justify sending in troops—just like he lied about 2020 to justify January 6. Jen Rubin on why the truth still matters.
The military isn’t supposed to cheer for cable news hosts.
the news media must assume that at first blush any data or "reasoning" coming out of this federal government is total BS. they shouldn't report it unless it is confirmed by independent sources.
IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!
MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!”
Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.”
You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters.

My latest in Joy’s House: I’m in L.A. So I can tell you firsthand that the only crises here are ICE, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, the Fox weekend guy that’s running the Pentagon, and Donald Trump. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...
Trump wants a confrontation, wants to see the situation erupt. No American president should behave like this. No kings.
Me too!
“Ninety-two percent of the targeted Medicaid recipients already work, are in school, have family caregiving responsibilities or have disabilities.” The proposed work requirements have nothing to do with waste, they are designed to cut enrollment through paperwork. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

Yet another example of the incompetence put into place by this administration
And it is killing American science, one thing widely agreed upon to be the envy of the world

The MAGA world wants this catfight between Trump and Musk to be Batman vs. Superman. But what it really is is Alien vs. Predator. And all of us are hoping the movie ends with each devouring the other.
Yesterday, hundreds of high schoolers walked out of class after ICE illegally detained their classmate, taking a bold stand for justice. Catch this and more in today’s roundup on the Democracy Movement.
Politicians are weather vanes (as we’re all tempted to be), and there’s a foul wind blowing out of parts of American Christianity.
When Joni Ernst's filmed her bizarre "apology" video, she was saying what too many Republicans want to hear: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/o...
"Ernst’s callousness is a direct reflection of her party line and, to that extent, totally on brand."

When there is a conflict between conservative legal principles and Trump’s demands, conservative judges almost always adhere to their principles. Members of Congress do not.
