Senator Marsha Blackburn tagging a public university for a facebook post where a professor share's Kirk's comments saying gun deaths are worth it.

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

There's a desperate attempt to portray the MN school shooter as something other than reality.

Here are facts: Robin Westman showed racist and antisemitic slogans and was inspired by far-right killers like Anders Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, Robert Bowers, and Tim McVeigh.

CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC

CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports.

Horrifying news for public health.

The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years.

Not anymore.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

🚨HEARTBREAKING: The last post by journalist Mariam Abu Daka on her Instagram account, just an hour before she was killed by the Israeli army in a horrific massacre that claimed the lives of four journalists, several civil defense members, and civilians.

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

Justice Department files misconduct complaint against judge in key deportations case U.S. District Judge James Boasberg found cause to initiate contempt proceedings to determine whether the Trump administration violated court orders.

Corrupt AG Pam Bondi accusing the rigorously fair Chief Judge Boasberg of compromising judicial integrity is peak Chutzpoid, my new term for chutzpah on steroids. You’ve gotta read Naomi Klein’s brilliant book, Doppelgänger, to understand the move’s inner logic

This should not need to be said but Judge Boasberg is a widely respected judge and these efforts to intimidate and harass him are shameful.

Good news!
The EU has finally approved its 18th sanctions package against russia.
It targets russia’s energy, banking, and military sectors as well as its trade with the EU.

This is being called one of the strongest sanctions packages against russia to date.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Exclusive: Operation Excalibur in Los Angeles “Show of Presence” Leaks from military's LA deployment reveal Coca Cola vs. Pepsi rivalry, sweaty guardsmen, and abject failure

I've obtained a trove of leaked documents about today's federal crackdown on Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. One revelation is its codename: "Operation Excalibur"

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda.

Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants.

He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️

@aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

An artist’s rendition of the Voyager 1 spacecraft.

in late 2026, nearly 50 years after its launch, voyager 1 will be the first manmade object to reach a distance of one light day from the sun

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

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

A crowd of over 500 gathered the US Embassy in London for the "No Tyrants" (rather than #NoKings, because England)) protest to say NO TYRANT TRUMP!
Remember, JOY IS RESISTANCE
*Clown theme since authoritarians hate to be mocked & strategic humor has defeated regimes.
@indivisiblelondon.bsky.social

June 14 No kings Over 11 million people protested!

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥

Are we nearing the magic 3.5%??

Never forget….WE hold the power.

#nokings

No Kings. No Surrender. Shows of force can work both ways.

"Trump is attempting to set the military against the American people and position himself as being on the military’s side—in the hope that, when push comes to shove, the military will then take his side in any showdown against the American people."

Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’ Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was not necessary

"[Troops] have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
