A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Such a terrible day. Heartbreaking. But I’ve never been more proud to be a Minnesotan. Today, hundreds of thousands of people across this state showed up, mourned, marched, and showed the world what decency looks like.

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.

No kings in Richmond Virginia! Despite the rain, thousands of people protested! #noking #richmond #virginia

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

ICYMI in today’s firestorm: “You’re an embarrassment to this country.” Rep Salud Carbajal torched Hegseth, calling him “unfit to lead” and telling him to “get the hell out” after Hegseth refused to say if allegiance to Trump is now the price of serving the nation. Bravo @carbajal.house.gov
