700 Marines heading for Los Angeles
The anti-immigrant raid protests continued last night as the Department of Defense dispatched hundreds of Marines to support California’s National Guard.
The addition of active duty forces indicates a major escalation. California officials come as they say they’ll sue the Trump administration after the president ordered a national security guard in Los Angeles without the governor’s consent and suggested that the president should be arrested.

New Jersey Governor Races Notice Democrats’ Next Move
New Jersey Governor Primary Tuesday is considered one of the best litmus tests for the type of candidate Democrats will continue to have an appetite. There are six Democrats seeking successor to Gov. Phil Murphy (a fellow Democrat for a limited time). Choiceability remains a primary issue that could hinder progressiveness with a more aggressive approach and could give openings to more centralist-oriented candidates. And many New Jersey Democrats have publicly expressed concern in recent reports that their state, which tends to lean blue in presidential elections, may be red. Experts warn how close and unpredictable it is – This race will be.

RFK Jr. fires the entire CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired all 17 members of the committee, who advised the federal government on vaccine safety and replaced it with new members.

Today’s speaker
He was at the heart of a Supreme Court case that changed gay marriages. Now he’s worried.
On June 26, 2015, Jim Obersifel sat in the Supreme Court gallery, he waited to hear his name. Justice is Obergefellv. He was preparing to control the Hodges. This was a case of progress towards US LGBTQ+ rights, and although it ultimately won favors for the majority of judicial justices when same-sex couples consider the right to marry, for Obergefell, the moment wasn’t. His husband, John Arthur, passed away several years before the verdict was announced. Now, ten years later, Obergefell sat down with USA Today to reflect on how love for each other has helped shape the fight for marriage equality in the United States, and what progress is still in the fight for equality.
