Look at the stands for Trump's military parade/birthday party.

Why do I keep seeing posts with Republicans describing alleged assassin Vance Boelter as a left-wing Democrat? Public databases show he has been a registered Republican. (Perhaps, the "No Kings" signs were part of his plan to sneak into a protest.)

BREAKING: Judge Breyer declines to delay his preliminary injunction schedule and restraining order on the National Guard deployment in LA, so the injunction against Trump STANDS and the timeline that was issued MUST be adhered to despite any possible ruling from the 9th Circuit.

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Four Trump NatSec officials. None mention that the victims are Democrats.

Kristi Noem must resign.

No way?!?! What a surprise……

To Kristi Noem we’re all annoying puppies.

Well, I forgot my roommate from my summer 2012 apartment sublet in D.C. is now the Secretary of the Army, until tonight, when he told Fox News there is a troop on the moon

Good morning friends 🫶🏻💜

Love, love Greta

Different costume, same sentiment.

I don't think people understand how many high level government employees have been getting paid for months not to work. It's an enormous number. For efficiency, or something.

Yet in NH our GOP masters have just passed and signed legislation to gift the state’s wealthiest parents with a taxpayer-funded school voucher tuition subsidies to send their kids to private schools. #NHPolitics www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

"Why are there no 'knock, knock' jokes about the American Miltary?" "Because Freedom rings."

So, I'm sure Doug LaMalfa (CA-01), Kevin Kiley (CA-03), Tom McClintock (CA-05), Vince Fong (CA-20), David Valadao (CA-22), Jay Obernolte (CA-23), Young Kim (CA-40), Ken Calvert (CA-41) & Darrell Issa (CA-48) are outraged about one of their U.S. Senators being assaulted & handcuffed yesterday, right?

A long-running US investigation of MS13 has uncovered evidence at odds with Bukele’s reputation as a crime fighter. The inquiry began as an effort to dismantle the gang’s leadership and expanded to focus on whether Bukele's government cut a secret deal with MS13 in the early years of his presidency.

They sold MAGA merchandise on Fort Bragg before Trump's speech. The Army complained. They were overruled.

Excuse me, bleach is not safe to ingest into children's bodies. Please tell everyone to keep bleach away from children and pets, and criticize influencers who advocate its internal use.

Remember when Republicans were all about major appliances.

Pete Hegseth was different after Signalgate, according to six people in a position to know. He was more prone to anger and less likely to be clean-shaven in the morning. He seemed reluctant to make decisions; scared of doing the wrong thing, paralyzed as he awaited orders from the White House.

9th circuit panel w/ 2 Trump appointees enters an administrative stay -- i.e puts Breyer order on hold "pending further order" --and orders hearing for Tuesday. That means the state of play on the ground is that the National Guard is federalized.

As I predicted on air tonight @cnn.com Judge Breyer: "Defendants are temporarily ENJOINED from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles. Defendants are DIRECTED to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Newsom" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: A federal judge in a hearing Thursday appeared deeply skeptical of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) legal defense of President Donald Trump federalizing the California National Guard in response to largely peaceful protests in Los Angeles. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

JFC. A Republican member of the South Carolina House who prosecutors say used the screen name “joebidennnn69” has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children. apnews.com/article/sex-...

A grand total of 160 people have been arrested for protesting in LA in almost an entire week! That requires 4,700 armed troops? Only when you're Chicken Little trying to manufacture a crisis.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

The South Carolina Freedom Caucus boasted that GOP State Rep. RJ May was a CPAC “top ranked” legislator. May was just indicted on federal child sex abuse material charges.

The Trump administration appears to have put on hold plans to dramatically ramp up transfers of undocumented migrants to Guantanamo Bay. It comes after we obtained documents showing the administration vetting 9,000 migrants for transfer to the base 👇
