BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, State Senator John Hoffman and State Representative Melissa Hortman, were shot in their own homes overnight.

When peacefully protesting today... Remember the MAGAts infiltrated protests before aka.. #UmbrellaMan the boogallo boy who shot up a police station etc Be on the lookout for imposters trying to distort reality. Catch them if you can to expose and report them www.thedailybeast.com/far-right-bo...

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman killed, State Sen. John Hoffman in grave condition in 'targeted political violence' A manhunt is now underway for the gunman who was impersonating a police officer. By Jon Haworth and Emily Shapiro June 14, 2025, 9:21 AM abcnews.go.com/US/2-minneso...

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks out on the forcible removal of Senator Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference. "I thought it was a disgrace."

The Padilla detainment is awful but don’t miss that Noem promised to “liberate” California from the elected officials they chose.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

BREAKING: It appears that ICE may have conducted a hit and Run in Los Angeles in the last hour. krassencast.com/p/breaking-a...

The thing about ABC firing Terry Moran for expressing a political opinion is He called Stephen Miller a man fueled by hatred That’s not a fucken opinion that’s like saying water is wet Its a fact Terry Moran was fired for accurately describing reality

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BUST Chaos for Trump and GOP—The House Budget Committee blocks the GOP tax and spending bill from advancing in a 16–21 vote. Republicans Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman, and Smucker voted NO. An embarrassing setback for Johnson and Trump from their own party.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.
