Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

Millions of people who use the food assistance program SNAP are facing changes: on what food they can buy, how much money they'll receive or even if they'll still qualify for the program.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America. On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.

No Kings Protest Minnesota…. TACO wishes his was this big… 🤭

I guess Trump found whom he can replace Whiskey Pete with at DOD?

ā™„ļø RUBY red KY, y’all!

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

A song written about people like… Trump 😬

It also means no one understands the lyric

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

More people protested today than went to the president’s fascist parade. It’s incredibly important to remember that

Yiiiiiiiikes

"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities within the Vietnam War draft system.

Trump's "perade" is the only event today where crowds are smaller than expected.

I don't think I've ever seen an event of any kind in DC where you could quite clearly get front-row space at a fence up to and DURING the event, lmao

Lots of empty space on the mall half an hour before the parade starts.

Massive #NoKings protest in Kingston, NY, home of swing 18th congressional district. Sheriff said 5,000 attended! City has 24k people total Video by @thomasbrodin.bsky.social

#NoKings protest at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul ā¤ļø

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago ā€œNo Kingsā€ rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Proud of Minnesotans

#Boise #Idaho showing up for #NoKings

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

ā€œNo Kingsā€ demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Everything is going according to plan. Dogs barking. Can’t fly without umbrella. Foxtrot Delta Tango.

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.

Texas Protesters: "We're making our voices heard today about the disturbing overreach of governmental power happening in 2025" Texas Judge Hoppy Haden: "Well, y'all had better not have 'No Kings Day' written on a public parade float or I'll send your assses to jail"

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

Breaking: Gov. Tim Walz says that State Representative Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, was assassinated. Her husband Mark was also killed.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

The greatest con Trump ever pulled was convincing millions of rubes that he cares about them.

Why doesn’t Trump hire Americans?

Transportation Sec Sean Duffy today. At least Zelensky wore socks.

I get that these guys have no shame, but that doesn’t mean we should give them a pass for it. Shame on Johnson and shame on the Republican Party that won’t call this out even though they know it’s wrong.
