New video shows close-up view of ICE agents slamming the young woman's face into the ground during arrest in neighborhood raid. "I don't have anyone at home. They arrested my mom, my sister, and a 2-month-old baby," a family member cries out.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

Secretary Kennedy ended a program that literally keeps the heat on for folks struggling to make ends meet. I asked him why. Here's his response:

Here's the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

One thing that's worth noting: This student didn't even say the word "Israel." A simple recognition of Palestinian suffering was enough for an American university to withhold this student's diploma and "pursue disciplinary actions"

NEW: Zohran Kwame Mamdani is up 4 points over Andrew Cuomo in a Public Policy Polling survey of 573 likely Dem primary voters conducted last week by landline and text. The poll is not ranked-choice. No other candidate comes close. By Nick Reisman & Joe Anuta: politico.com/news/2025/06/1…

If Cuomo wins the mayorship, he will run for president - we have to stop him in his tracks. (And phew, @aoc connecting stopping Cuomo to ending the gerontocracy is extremely my shit.)

CARTOON OF THE DAY— throwback to 1975: Schoolhouse Rock’s “No More Kings” Seems like a good day to revisit this gem. 🇺🇸 Full: youtu.be/WvOZs3g3qIo

Really looks like some Dem party leaders are toying with sabotaging Mamdani's campaign even though his the nominee fair & square. If they do this, they will absolute alienate all the voters they are already bleeding, especially young voters (including young Black voters), & Asian

They are just coming right out and saying they want an exponential increase in $$$ so they can build their own personal Gestapo

If you think it's so immaterial, maybe call a few seniors in nursing homes and explain to them where they'll go next. Call the mom of a kid with disabilities who won't be able to pay for a new wheelchair. Call just one person whose life you're going to tear apart.

The nation's fifth most populous county, San Diego, just chose its political future today—and appears to have chosen to have a Democratic local government—and it's literal crickets on here and everywhere. Quite the eye-popping example of the NYC-bias of how we approach elections.

If you’re wondering why our elite political intellectual class has lost the confidence of the general public, look no further.
