Congrats to EVERYONE!! 😎 It looks like the ‘3% threshold of peaceful protestors’ showed up for ‘No Kings Day’…👇 11+ MILLION in the streets of America is a danger to Trump, and he knows it. Great. Job. To. The. Real. Patriots. 🇺🇸✨

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

What country is this?????

@blumenthal.senate.gov we need better. We need Dems ready with better talking points. Good job getting the fact that Trump dropped the Iran deal but jeez you looked unprepared and a #DINO compared to Lindsay. Consider retirement.

Emanuel: You have the 250th anniversary of the US Army. Rather than making it about everyone who makes up that 250-year family of service—to the country, to the Constitution, and to the ideals of the United States—Trump has decided to make it about the most important person in his view: Donald Trump

Kristi Noem, Dr. Phil, and ICE went to this woman’s home in Huntington Park, CA at 6am to make a spectacle and you want me to be satisfied with @governor.ca.gov flowery words? Watch. It’s disgusting. Noem belongs in prison.

We are missing out on so much when people like this are on the sidelines

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Rep. Lynch: "In late March, ICE agents wearing masks detained Rümeysa Öztürk. And those of you who watched that abduction, when you compare the old films of the Gestapo grabbing people off the streets of Poland ... it does look like the Gestapo."

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Democratic US Senator Alex Padilla was shoved out of a room, forced to the ground and handcuffed by security after attempting to ask a question at a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reut.rs/4l4iOev

Just a reminder, "patriotism" is not a "Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ)" and runs afoul of the first amendment. www.politico.com/news/2025/05... thevaughnlawfirm.com/constraining...

Someone referred to Karoline Leavitt as Taco Belle, and I just couldn’t resist.🤭

Remember: You can't control other people, you can only control your response... Unless you're a Republican, then you are going to damn well try

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

Why does this look like something AI came up with? Found on Hulu.

It’s not just Newark: Nearly all air traffic control facilities in the U.S. are understaffed.

Watching #cbs #facethenation ... Why are we reliving the past with Biden around mishandling documents. Maybe the big subject right now should be Trump and the constant systematic dismantling of our country? Just a thought. Your attempt at impartiality is disingenuous and obvious

As he spoke to troops at an air base in Qatar, Donald Trump appeared to be a "bizarre shade of orange-green," his general orange tinge accentuated by the green of the uniforms of the troops in the room.

"This is arguably the best outcome that China could have hoped for — the U.S. backed down,” said Trey McArver, co-founder of research firm Trivium China. "Going forward, this will make the Chinese side confident that they have leverage over the U.S. in any negotiations.”
