Good Trouble. In addition to supporting many local causes dear to me, I support independent journalism, the ACLU, my local public radio, and tv stations.

⚠️ Emory University reported an active shooter on its Atlanta, #Georgia, campus on Friday. The school's official website said the incident was occurring near the Emory Point CVS. A shelter-in-place order has been put in place. #GunViolence breaking.iavian.net/article/1310...
Omg
Let them eat cake.
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
I remember when this happened.
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Thank you. Your name here means so much to those of us who have lived through this before and to those who are living through it now. — Uncle George www.thepetitionsite.com/983/564/587/...
It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...
Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
The Big Ugly Bill throws millions off Medicaid and SNAP, gives ICE more money than most militaries, and makes the wealthiest households in America even richer. Heather and I break it all down on today's Klatch. https://youtu.be/Yc4xl3nz_Ac?si=nj70FlizV909V1Y6
Please do not call it alligator Alcatraz. It's Florida Concentration Camp
Hi, it's called Public Square. Boycott every business on there! To find companies that align with our values use Goods Unite Us!
Don't just cancel vacations. Entertainers and musicians should cancel all concerts. Cancel professional/medical/corporate conferences and trade shows. Stop filming in Fl. Hit them where it hurts.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz
This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill, 37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.
Both a coward and sell out.
Yes, Murkowski and Collins do have this exact pact. It’s been an open secret for years. And the gullible voters in their states keep falling for it.
"I'm not sympathetic to Murkowski’s plight. I don’t empathize when she laments the difficulty of her vote. What she did wasn't difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you didn’t actually do the hard thing. If Murkowski wants sympathy, she should try doing something to earn it."
More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
Listen to @warren.senate.gov! If you want to keep your healthcare, #KillTheBill! 🚫
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis is a NO on the GOP budget bill: "I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities."

Anyone can go to immigration hearings to bear witness, offer support, and stand up for due process and the rule of law. We must keep showing up for our immigrant neighbors in whatever way we can. Always a pleasure talking with Ali Velshi! youtu.be/jHKWznvDMS4
Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?
Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."
JUST IN: A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's use of the National Guard in Los Angeles, siding with the state of California's argument that the president erred in how the guard was being activated.
U.S. House votes to yank billions for NPR, PBS and foreign aid programs. The bill’s future in the Senate amid a strict timeline is uncertain. @jennifershutt.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/06/12/r...
A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to “return control” of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom after the president issued an extraordinary order deploying them to L.A.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
ICE crossed a line in LA
This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy. This is the GOP way. The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
MUST WATCH: ICE agents ran over a protester. Fled the scene. Hit a bystander on a bike. Then threw smoke grenades at the crowd. This all happened in broad daylight in the middle of downtown L.A.
LAPD eventually showed up and rescued ICE by attacking US citizens, ICE joined them in firing tear gas and pepper rounds at people. (🎥 @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social )
In four short years we’ve gone from the police defending themselves from J6 rioters in tactical gear, to rescuing J6 rioters in tactical gear who are disappearing people off streets across America.

Ukraine's SBU security service has attacked the Kerch bridge in occupied Crimea in a months-long operation. It secretly "mined the supports" of the bridge underwater with 1,100kg of TNT.
Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.
12 hours later and we still don't have final text of the GOP’s Big, Bad Budget Bill that will kick nearly 14 million people off their health care and put more than 18 million kids at risk of losing their school meals.

I'm not a Catholic but have great respect for religious leaders who believe in peace and harmony. I really hope hPope Leo makes a difference in this world. Did you see him with JD?
President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.
Nicușor Dan, is the new President of Romania, he is pro-EU, pro-Ukraine, a mathematician, genius IQ, and wants to eradicate corruption and organized crime. "Today’s win is by a Romanian community that wants a profound change," "We are living a moment of hope."
Sending strength and peace to President Biden, Jill, and the entire Biden family as they face the road ahead, and gratitude for his lifetime of dedication to cancer research for everyone who has or will face the same. ❤️
Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

Donald Trump is the only president in history with a lower approval rating than Donald Trump.
We'll be covering this on the show tonight.
Almost nobody is ok with it. But was it on your local news today? If not, nobody is going to know about it in order to not be OK with it. Ppl oppose almost everything this administration is doing, when they’re told what those things are. But most people aren’t!

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."
I just don't understand why? Why do people fear the Emperor with no Clothes?!
The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.
Probably then put a rceipt for $5800 instead of $58 and bilked us all.
The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.
As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

UPDATE RE: Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador
Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.
A government-imposed $8 limit on most credit card late fees is the latest consumer protection regulation to be scrapped by President Trump’s administration.
I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
