Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT: Mark Kelly didn’t name names—but he did say this:
One GOP Senator said Medicaid cuts were fine because “they’ll get over it.”
Another, told it would cost lives, said:
“We’re all gonna die anyway.”
And this party still dares to call itself pro-life.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

What Republicans call their “Big Beautiful Bill” includes $286B in SNAP cuts—the biggest attack ever on the program that helps millions of working families put food on the table.
There’s nothing “beautiful” about handing billions to the ultra-rich while working people go hungry.

House Republican Proposal Would Kick More People Off SNAP During Recessions While Pushing Additional Costs to States
The House Republican tax and budget bill would make states pay more to administer food assistance while ensuring it serves fewer people in need.

First Trump and RFK Jr. gutted research, silenced scientists, and blocked lifesaving public health guidance. Now it seems they may have used AI to cite fake studies in their so-called “MAHA Report.”
These people are unserious — but they pose a serious risk to Americans' health.

The report, led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was intended to address the reasons for the decline in Americans’ life expectancy.

Buried in the Republicans’ “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a provision that shields Trump and his Admin from being held in contempt of court.
So it doesn’t just cut taxes for billionaires — it also undermines the courts and emboldens an already lawless presidency. We must stop it.

Opinion | The GOP’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ has an ugly way of protecting Trump
A short provision would further insulate the president from judicial accountability.

Violence and hate must have no refuge in America.
This is the second attack on the Jewish community in two weeks. As we pray for the victims in Boulder, we must redouble our efforts to fight antisemitism and hate in all its forms.
The perpetrator must be brought to justice.

Maryland passed its ban on military-style assault weapons after the Sandy Hook massacre. It's the type of common-sense gun safety law that we need to save lives and prevent mass shootings.
SCOTUS should continue to allow lifesaving laws like Maryland's to remain in place.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.
