Is there such a thing as presidential oversights committee ?
We should have one, we all have oversight on every level that office of the presidency should have oversight watch dog over it
We will all be better off if Republicans in the House and Senate stop closing ranks around Trump, overcome their fear of retribution, and admit that Trump’s tariffs are a declaration of war on the American people. His Project 2025 policies are human rights violations that have sparked global chaos.
Portsmouth Ohio, just a speck on the map and bleeds red for Trump and all republicans had 200-250 protesters!!! In the rain! Absolutely amazing! 💙💙💙🩵🩵🩵

Oh fantastic, just a casual five-minute window where the former president might:
- Start a trade war
- Proclaim a love affair with a dictator
- Claim windmills cause cancer
- Call himself a king
- And possibly, just possibly, crap his pants
Are you ready to listen? You lost your 401K money in the stock market, you lost your home to the flood, you lost your neighbors to the tornado. Are you ready to listen?
Keep fighting against Trump and Musk and others!! The oligarchs who run these social media companies have deployed “bot” commenter apologists, commenting and deleting posts - but we all outnumber them!
We OWE a strong USA to our allies 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇲🇽 🇯🇵 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🇧🇷 🇨🇴 🇸🇻 🇳🇮 🇮🇳 🇺🇳 — everywhere freedom rings true!!
An estimated 5 million showed up today! 👏
Next confirmed Call to Action date: April 19th!! Why this date? It's the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution = our war against the tyrannical power of Kings!!
NPR tried to resist reporting on this NATIONWIDE movement.
Many millions of Americans across were in the streets peacefully protesting.
A solidarity movement against the authoritarian regime and the Republican government that’s enabling it.
The Trump regime’s tariffs will allow BRICS countries to become the world’s economic powerhouse, eclipsing the dollar. Is Trump being blackmailed by Putin, because BRICS will benefit from every one of Trump’s policies.
He is turning America into a ‘sh1thole country,’ riddled with poverty & disease.
Is there a handle, or a website where most protests are posted? I have missed a few in TX because it is hard to track demonstrations over several SM sites. NPR should provide that as a public service.
Alternative headline: millions of people demonstrated in shock their arrogant political realities were not accepted by majority of US. voters. Believe that the massive government debt doesn’t matter and US spending can continue forever. Blames current administration for attempting course correction.
These are our people. This is just the beginning of what you can expect this summer. It will be all around the world for us against him. We're going to fight this.
I find it disturbing you left the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and the US government's funding of it off this list considering it's one of the main things I've seen being protested across the country/world today.
Thank you for following the protests today. It was a powerful American message that the Trump Administration is an epic fail! State by State, Americans came out to support AMERICANS. Thanks to everyone who came out to protest.
Yes, prices will skyrocket.
Yes, business will go bankrupt.
Yes, stocks will crash.
Yes, unemployment will rise.
But if we hold on, the tariffs will be worth it. If fully implemented we can finally achieve the true American dream: rich people not having to pay ANY taxes.
So Weekend Edition has a 1 minute blurb this morn interviewing a half asleep former Trump voter at a rally who is unhappy with tariffs.😳 .
Millions with high energy and
Important issues and THIS is the guy???
KUDOS to all the good people that took part in the mass protests today. SHAME on the networks (save ABC) for basically ignoring them. HOPE that this only galvanizes our determination to make our voices heard. Protest or acquiesce!!
It was raining in Columbus, but there were thousands milling around the Statehouse near Wm McKinley's statue. Cars going by on High Street were honking almost non-stop.
You wouldn’t know it by looking at NPR’s website. I came here to do you a solid and let you know that there were protests going on, since you didn’t seem to get the memo.
NPR management needs to show some courage and REPORT THE MARCHES FRONT AND CENTER. But they're too afraid and letting Fox News take the lead. Millions are marching and NPR is too afraid to report it. Dear NPR we will support you even if Trump tries to stop your voice. So REPORT the TRUTH
Thank you, NPR, for NOT saying the Women’s March and George Floyd protests were bigger, like some other MSM. The count isn’t in yet; more protests are coming.
“Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
They're afraid, just like most of the news outlets. Trump is running his machine 24/7 to threaten, blackmail, and sue news outlets who say anything against him, Musk, or Putin, or any of Trump's other unqualified grifter minions.
I think the word “unhappy” with #Trump administration decisions by protesters is beyond an understatement. People holding signs in the pouring rain of Nee York and around the word are flat out pissed
Wow, NPR! Morning edition this Sunday, April 6 containing exactly one sentence about the nationwide protests yesterday? What in the world? Where is your coverage on NPR this morning of what happened yesterday in the United States? Asking for the millions of people who marched yesterday.
Alternative headline help: millions of people demonstrated against the threat to democracy and the sharp decline of constitutional norms in the actions of the Krasnov Administration.
Make this story FRONT and CENTER on your web site. We are fighting for NPR and Free Speech. Show the MILLIONS who showed up today for marches all over the country. And "unhappy" doesn't even START to describe how we feel.
Dem to do: 1)Bill with Trump's popular tax cuts. 2)Fund infrastructure, education, science, environment 3)Minimum 5% tax on income over $1M 4)Tax all income with FICA regardless of source or amount 5)Tax wealth over $100M at 1%, over $1B at 2%, $10B at 3%, $100B at 4%, $1T at 5%...
Today's betrayals are nothing less than treason. The Republic & Liberty have been assaulted by tyranny & they are in danger. Now is the time for you genuine hardcore Americans to step up & be brave. This is not a time for poisonous politics, treasonous political parties, or traitorous politicians.

What a misleading way to frame this. Sell out.

All while insisting he alone can fix it.

Omg, you are downplaying for Nazis. Such a Nazi outlet.
However, PBS did cover @repilhan.bsky.social https://y.social and @algreen.house.gov 's speech on YouTube

Over a thousand protests everywhere,
But read the press you’d be unaware.
There’s few stories in your news dump.
Corporate Media is afraid of Trump.
Yes, business will go bankrupt.
Yes, stocks will crash.
Yes, unemployment will rise.
But if we hold on, the tariffs will be worth it. If fully implemented we can finally achieve the true American dream: rich people not having to pay ANY taxes.

I had to go to the BBC for info about the massive nationwide and global protest against his administration.
Why aren’t these historic protests at the very top of NPR’s homepage?
#handsoff
What a bunch of absolute spanks.
Good riddance. See you in a few years.
MAGA!!

Catch up.
@meidastouch.com did an incredible covering of the protests every step of the way, doing your job better than you.
Do you want to become obsolete?
