Quick hits this Friday: thank you Israel for once again doing the work of the free world; Kristi Noem said our military is going to overthrow the governments of Los Angeles and California; and, please ignore Trump’s Kim Jong Un parade tomorrow.

The economy was doing really well when Trump was sworn in. And there were no trade wars when Trump was sworn in. And border crossings had been dropping precipitously for over a year when Trump was sworn in. There was no immigrant “invasion.” So if you think things are in crisis right now, then there’s only one person to blame - Trump. Am I right?

A conversation today with Ezra Levin, co founder of Indivisible (indivisible.org) one of the organizations behind the more than 1,800 No Kings rallies this Saturday, June 14th. Hear why it’s so damn important that millions and millions of us peacefully take to the streets this weekend to oppose the authoritarian in the White House.

Trump immigration henchman Steven Miller last week demanded that ICE cops go to Home Depot and 7-Eleven parking lots to grab immigrants. And so they are. And this is what started the whole thing in Los Angeles last week. Is this really the kind of country we want to be? I don’t think so.

What’s happening in Los Angeles right now, and what’s been happening for the past few days has made it crystal clear again that Trump is just itching to put the Marines on American streets against the American people. That’s his game plan. And that will be his game plan when he tries to cancel the 2026 midterms. Also, my conversations with the American people continue. This week, college students at the University of Delaware.

I formally joined the Democratic Party this week. My friend and fellow political traveler Sophia Nelson thinks that was a mistake. Sophia is an author, speaker, and professor. So bcuz we disagree, we decided to have a conversation about it. I also ask her about “Redefining Freedom Center Of Virginia,” an exciting new organization she founded.

I gotta be honest, as a new Democrat, I don’t care that much right now about where we disagree on healthcare policy or border policy. We can figure all of that out down the road once we preserve our democracy, once we secure the rule of law. That makes sense, right?

Yesterday, I uttered 3 words I never ever thought I would utter - “I’m A Democrat.” Why? Easy. Only one of our two political parties embraces freedom, democracy and the rule of law. And it’s not my former political party. So to best defeat my former political party, I became a Democrat. And btw…my former party is fighting with themselves again over that “big, beautiful” bill.

Once again, a violent act of antisemitism in America. Once again, Jews in America were targeted in an attempted terror attack. This is so wrong. No matter where you are on the situation in Gaza, every America must condemn what happened yesterday in Boulder, CO. And every American should stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters.

After 4 months, Elon is gone. Sort of. And what did DOGE accomplish? A lot of lives destroyed and a lot of starving and dead children around the world. But DOGE has had ZERO impact on the debt. ZERO impact. Also, a final look at my face to face conversation with Maze Jackson, black activist on Chicago’s South Side. Today…what about the black people?
