Good morning, and welcome to RedState’s “Morning Minute” — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day.
TOP O’ THE MORNIN’
Red-Hot at RedState
DHS Sec. Mullin Provides a Telling Detail About Arrested NJ Agitators Which Explains a Lot
There must be something about the month of May for the radical “protesters” at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, because May 2026 has been a lot like May 2025 in terms of the wild scenes that have unfolded there over the past two weeks.
New Pro-Spencer Pratt Ad Eviscerates Leftist Thinking in Hilarious Fashion
The two funniest moments? Hitting the wasted money that supports the NGOs continuing to fail, and the radical, blue-haired lady with serious issues. This was a perfect painting of who Bass’ constituency is, with nothing to make anything better for the people of Los Angeles.
Woke Gone Wild: Biden and Kerry’s Vacation Hotspot Turns 4th of July Into Self Flagellation Ritual
Luckily, with the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, we’re seeing less of this ridiculousness, racism, and self‑sabotage dressed as morality. That doesn’t mean the woke scourge has gone away entirely, though, and we’re still going to call it out wherever we see it. As we approach our nation’s 250th birthday, this is toxic bile, and this Nantucket church can go take a long walk off a short pier.
Trending Across Townhall Media
Bearing Arms — 10-Time Felon Learns Sentence After Being Busted With Revolver on ‘Gun-Free’ Chicago Train
That decision by SCOTUS means the Chicago Transit Authority will be off-limits to lawful carry for the foreseeable future.
HotAir — Exxon VP Issues Dire Inventory Warning, Announces Move of Firm’s ‘Legal Home’ to Texas
It sure would have been nice if POTATUS had put back more than 59M bbls of the 250M+ bbls he drew out.
PJ Media — Paris Is Burning. Guess Which Country Is Next.
Nothing happening in Western Europe is an accident. The destruction of Western civilization is intentional. The United States will be the final battle (for now) of good vs. evil, Christianity vs. Islam, and civility vs. savages. Don’t be afraid of being called “Islamophobic,” lest your kids pay the price.
Townhall — So, That’s Why Jill Biden’s Book Is Coming Out Now
Hunter Biden isn’t doing his government access stuff anymore after that got exposed, so this family, which has numerous members and hordes of grandchildren, needs to keep raking in the dough.
Twitchy — Pelley-Aching: Complaining ‘60 Minutes’ Host Is Clueless to Why Most Americans Fear Going on His Show
Pelley and his fellow Democrat ‘journos’ are already history. Like the ghosts in ‘The Sixth Sense’ movie, they don’t realize they’re already long dead to the rest of us.
WHAT’S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill…
They’re officially back at it on the Hill, with a number of hearings/meetings set for Tuesday, including:
- Senate Foreign Relations — Hearings to examine the President’s proposed budget request for fiscal year 2027 for the Department of State [Secretary of State Marco Rubio to testify]
- Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry — An oversight hearing to examine the United States Forest Service
- Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Coast Guard, Maritime, and Fisheries Subcommittee — Hearings to examine the blue economy, focusing on advancing American fisheries, maritime strength, and coastal economies
- Senate Appropriations, Department of Defense Subcommittee — Closed hearings to examine proposed budget estimates and justification for fiscal year 2027 for the Intelligence Community
- House Appropriations, National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Subcommittee — Budget Hearing – Department of State and Related Programs [Secretary of State Marco Rubio to testify]

- House Appropriations, Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee — Oversight Hearing – Department of Justice [Acting AG Todd Blanche to testify]
And, of course, there are primaries today in several states that could foreshadow what the congressional class of 2027 will look like: California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, South Dakota, and New Mexico.

COMING ATTRACTIONS
Expect more SCOTUS decisions later this week.
President Trump is heading to Wisconsin for a roundtable discussion on Friday. He’s set to attend the G7 Summit in Évian-Les-Bains, France, in mid-June.
MORNING MUSING
As noted above, it’s primary day in a number of states, but a lot of the focus will be on California, and in particular, the gubernatorial and mayoral races there. Of course, Cali being Cali, we likely won’t know the outcomes of those races for weeks yet. But this year, California and LA are the bellwethers to see if there’s a point at which even tried-and-true liberals can get sufficiently fed up that they wake up and realize it’s time to vote differently.
We’ll be watching…🍿
