They better not cave on our healthcare

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

📌WARNING: As a former managing editor of Stars and Stripes, what Hegseth's Pentagon is pulling with the press is dangerous as hell, anti-American, and will HURT THE TROOPS. 📌Any news organization that advocates for THEM and reports on their quality-of-life issues will potentially be squashed. 🧵

ICE officials insist they did not use excessive force. Yet in a chaotic scene at an immigration detention facility in the Chicago suburbs, Illinois Democratic congressional candidates reported being tear-gassed, hit with

SMITE!!!

Supreme Court caselaw suggests that this is almost certainly illegal.

Why, WHY, did the Texas dems return? Someone explain it to me because I see zero sense. They just gave up???

The shooting at the CDC and the death of the police officer should be laid at the feet of RFK and everyone who keeps spreading vaccine misinformation and disinformation. #sciencematters #vaccinessavelives www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The Supreme Court, in a furtive August ploy, revives a Louisiana case to eviscerate the Voting Rights Act, cynically deeming minority districts discriminatory against whites, unraveling multiracial democracy's fragile facade. #VotingRights

The Voting Rights Act, a key law that has long protected minority voters time and time again, celebrated its 60th birthday this week. But after SCOTUS took square aim at the legislation's constitutionality last week, this year might be its last.

It’s disgusting that the leader of our country is welcoming a war criminal into US soil 😡

In the very long list of things Trump has done to advance Russia’s interests and harm our own the tariffs should be at the very top. bsky.app/profile/bloo...

Good! Keep up the fight President Zelenskyy.

Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

You should be very concerned.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

It took 13 more years for MAGA influencers to realize this.

💯 From the perspective of a former prosecutive who worked on trafficking cases, the loss of this office can only be intended to make it easier for the traffickers. There is literally no rationale for doing this.

Indiana plans to ramp up "enforcement" of the its ban - including a registry of abortion reports, fines for hospitals that don't turn over patient data, and "legal compliance monitoring" with the AG. That's A LOT of state resources for guess how many abortions? jessica.substack.com/p/heres-what...

Jeffries calls for Hegseth's resignation and says, "when you limit Ukraine's ability to be successful in the war of aggression that Russia has launched against a sovereign country, you undermine America's national security interests. And that's highly problematic."

Damn, she nailed this.

I totally agree, and I also think this is a problem.

🤭🎻🤏 Laughing at fascism is one of our greatest weapons against it! #nokings #fightfascism #resist #june14

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

St Louis #NoKings protest

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

What a devastating day. What a decisive moment for our country. We cannot let violence against elected officials become normalized. All my thoughts are with the victims and their families. This is the moment for our nation to do the hard work of choosing peace in our politics.

Asked about his decision to fire the entire vaccine advisory committee of the CDC, RFK Jr. asserted that "children get between 69 and 92 vaccines before they’re 18," among other lies. Fact check: the number is closer to between 24 and 50. https://trib.al/uUQLOgI

Do police in your city use tear gas or rubber bullets? Repression tactics from Seattle to Chicago, plus how to prepare.

Corruption at the highest level 😡

Medicaid work requirements, which are included in the budget passed by the US House, are unlikely to boost employment. Research into work requirements for other programs show that they are more likely to strip benefits from vulnerable people stuck in bureaucracy

U.S President Donald Trump sparked a new wave of worry on Saturday during an appearance at West Point Military Academy.
