Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The MAGAs are out in full force today because their narrative is crumbling. Incredible work so proud of all of you. It’s impossible for this administration to control the narrative when everyone has a camera and access to social media.

The wannabe dictator wants a party? Well then, let's show him some "love”. On June 14th, Trump is spending millions of taxpayer $$$ to throw himself a military parade for his birthday. That's why we're peacefully protesting across the nation on the 14th. In America, we have no kings. #50501Movement

As many anticipated, the Administration's claim that it can't bring back Abrego Garcia means judges will be much more willing to find for Plaintiffs in other cases. See Judge Hellerstein's reasoning below. Plus: "If that is not irreparable harm, what is?"

Jim Acosta is still making news shows. He's definitely in the fight to ensure folks see something besides the authoritarian approved propaganda. This show focuses on Trump’s inability to accept reality. jimacosta.substack.com/p/sen-mark-w...

Sen. Mark Warner, Michael Cohen, and Georgia resident Juan Lima talks about how his parents were detained by ICE after living in US for 26 years.
Jim looks at Juan's case and asks, "is this who we are as a country?"

Good rule of thumb for determining who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is “which side is eliminating libraries” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
washingtonpost.com
Trump moves to gut several agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries
The president signed an executive order that repeals several Biden-era labor and environmental policies, and another that severely cuts various independent agencies.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

This. From Michael Steele. "Police officers are on the front line for a reason. As a community or nation, we do not want to embrace the idea that anyone can cross that line and that there are no consequences for doing so. By offering these pardons, Trump has broken that line."
