Week of June 8: No Kings Protests, Tensions in the Middle East, and Cuomo is Back

Listen Later

This week was packed with fireworks — and not just the kind Trump wanted at his birthday parade. From dramatic legal battles in California to global tensions in the Middle East, here’s what went down:

  • Trump says he’d support arresting Gov. Gavin Newsom
  • More Marines deployed to California as protests intensify
  • Newsom and California’s AG sue Trump over National Guard takeover
  • Trump’s military birthday parade faces high costs and low attendance
  • “No Kings” protests erupt in all 50 states
  • Two Democratic state lawmakers shot in Minnesota — one fatally

    • We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rep. Melissa Hortman, whose life was tragically taken in this political attack. Her service and leadership will not be forgotten.

    • Israel bombs Iran; U.S.–Iran nuclear talks are paused
    • RFK Jr. removes all 17 members of CDC vaccine advisory committee
    • 75 Democrats face backlash for voting to thank ICE in a GOP-sponsored resolution
    • Andrew Cuomo is running for NYC mayor
    • Trump issues an executive order for flying cars
    • Marco Rubio congratulates Russia on “Russia Day”
    • Craigslist ad recruits fake crowd for Trump’s military parade — White House calls it fake
    • Michelle Obama says Bruce Springsteen is her and Barack’s personal mentor
