Another No Kings sign conveying how she really feels.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Many such cases.

FOX: The Committee for a Responsible Budget came out today and said it will add $15 trillion to the debt THUNE: This will reduce the deficit, not increase it

I really think the easiest way for the Ayatollah to get out of this mess is to buy some Trump crypto.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Everything we’re dealing with now is fallout from decades’ worth of mistakes that have been compounded because the people who made them have hung onto power and hidden their crimes. God help us. What a truly awful moment and we’re all stuck here against our will.

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

I’m watching the Panama v Guadeloupe Gold Cup game on TV as we speak. It is being played in Los Angeles. And the stadium is almost completely empty. A sport that in the U.S. is highly dependent on Latino audiences is no longer viable. The World Cup cannot come here.

A nightmare. 🙏🏾

Guy just did for parades what he did for steaks, airlines, and casinos.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

This weekend, millions of Americans marched to resist Donald's rising authoritarianism and to declare "No Kings in America!" This Week in Wins has the highlights, from the nationwide protests to brutal new polls for Trump and another special election win for Democrats. Don't miss out on the latest.

Sen. Murphy continues to regularly say the things that many of you complain that no prominent Democrat is saying.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

It most certainly is!

Oh my God. Nationalizing key industry by sleight of hand.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

GO! 🍿 I contain multitudes 🥹 thank you 💜@stephenking.bsky.social 🌌

when no one attends your shitty dictator parade

Without a Doubt...

We will , we must get through this

Free speech for me, a felony for thee.

In the last 3 weeks, a Dem congresswoman was arrested for trumped up charges of alleged assault as she tried to enter an ICE center; a Dem Senator was hauled to the ground by the FBI for attempting to ask a Q at DHS presser, and now a Dem state legislator was murdered in MN. Terrorism by fiat.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Maybe drop a line to @nbcla.com and let them know you appreciate David Noriega's reporting. We are going to need journalists like this who aren't afraid to tell the truth and a lot of them are getting fired. 📞 818-684-4444 💻 Email: www.nbclosangeles.com/send-feedback

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

A beautiful dream died the moment they stopped making chubby sex bots.

This is devastating. My heart is with Representative Hortman’s family and loved ones, and I’m praying for Senator Hoffman and his wife. Political violence, of any kind, is never acceptable, and it must not be normalized.

It's great to see some new notices of funding opportunities from NIH, but here's a reminder that Harvard researchers remain ineligible to apply for any federal grants. "Harvard should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided." www.harvard.edu/research-fun...

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity.  As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime.  Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other.  Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Here we are.

"We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry." W. B. Yeats

A source familiar tells me that the USAGM is calling back Voice of America Persian network's full-time employees after war broke out in the region. Kari Lake had slashed the workforce to just 2 Farsi speakers. They're also bringing back the Dari and Pashto staff -- a total of roughly 75 staffers.

Reminder to the US Marines in Los Angeles: It is unlawful to obey a unlawful order.

I don’t think you understand that we are at war. Right now. The American people are under attack. We are under duress. We are being attacked. At this very minute. We are being targeted, brutalized and forced to live under authoritarian law.

One more.

Update: Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died after they were shot at their home in Brooklyn Park.
