BREAKING: The first National Guard troops have hit the streets of D.C. I am reporting live from the National Mall where I just spotted some. They are getting yelled at in protest, with no crime in sight. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Stuart Adams has a crystal clear playbook on how to turn public service into personal service. He must resign immediately. open.substack.com/pub/elevatep...

We are not going to stop talking about Stewart Adams, and neither should you. He helped his relative go from facing a 25 year prison sentence to probation. Resign! www.ksl.com/article/5136...

"When the agents of the state begin identifying with the regime, isn't that typically a trouble sign?" "Not only is it happening, but it's happening and the regime itself sees it as the case that it wants to make." @eggerdc.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social talk Trump's D.C. takeover:

I mean my God what is in those files?

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

It’s an upside down world right now. Two Tucker Carlson post in one day.

Justice Clarence Thomas accusing *anyone* of allowing politics to influence their conclusions is rich.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

ICE has been taking the position nationwide that its field offices, and the detention cells therein, are not facilities "operated by or for [DHS] used to detain or otherwise house aliens," on the argument that the facilities are "processing areas" and therefore not covered detention facilities.

These ICE raids are not about safety or law and order, they’re about furthering a cruel and inhumane agenda. ICE is causing chaos in our communities, separating families, and stoking fear. We will keep speaking out.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

Holy crap! Why would they remove sign language interpreters!

FUCK LYING FOX NEWS

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

Congrats to England and Wales, where lawmakers have voted to decriminalize abortion. 88% of the population there supports the right to abortion. The majority of Americans support the right to abortion too, but our illegitimate SCOTUS stole our rights. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/w...

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

Knowingly providing false information during an investigation undermines the integrity of our legal system. This plea makes clear that those who attempt to deceive investigators will be held accountable. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

NY Govenor Kathy Hochul on the arrest of Brad Lander: “You want to know what I really think? It’s bullshit. How dare they take an elected official… What the hell is happening to this country?”

NOTE TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS: Regime change starts at home.

Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com on her primary victory. We endorsed her early in the campaign because she has been at the tip of the spear battling corruption and protecting the interests of regular people in our democracy. We look forward to helping her win the general election.

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place* (* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Projection: State Senator Ghazala Hashmi has won the Democratic nomination for Lt. Gov in Virginia

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

In a new Kvetchbook, Barry Blitt imagines a club of kings—one that Donald Trump definitely is not in. www.newyorker.com/cartoons/bli...

Praying for all American troops who may be in harm’s way. Regardless of your politics I think we can all agree to the safety of our troops.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

Folsom CA, Who is he?

Veterans can be denied care for being Democrats or unmarried 

It seems Corporal Russel of the Cornelius Police Dept has his priorities mixed up.

Now that’s commitment!

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

ICE round up in Fontana, Calif. Notice what the ICE thugs are wearing. Look at their shirts, look at their shoes. They aren't police. They're Trump's private thugs. There's a paper trail somewhere of who is hiring and paying them.
