The “No Kings” protests offered the first real sign that the grassroots resistance to Trump hasn’t died—but it does look different from how it did, and it may, perhaps, be taking a more strategic form.

"The law gives police broad power to use physical force. But for a sheriff to claim prospectively that his office will hospitalize someone who commits a misdemeanor, whether or not the situation requires physical force seems . . . interesting."

Trump with Mark Carney: "The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn't have a war right now if you had Russia in."

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

The ‘Virgin Islands Carve Out’ is example 101 of how the Trump-Republican ‘Big Ugly’ tax bill is a giveaway to the ultra-wealthy. Trump is taking away people’s health care in order to give billionaires and corporations a bigger tax windfall to live it up in the Caribbean.

As a constituent of Ron Johnson, I hesitate to cast aspersions on the brokenness of any other state’s senators. And the competition is fierce among the candidates for worst of the worst. But, at least for today, I ask you to consider Mike Lee. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Jack and Fiona watched as Trump and Musk turned the US into what they call “a fascist hellscape.” So they turned to tech to organize, creating @stickittofascists.com. They're one of many mobilizing online. And as millions joined the "No Kings” protests, these tools were powering the movement.

Senator Padilla was handcuffed and forcibly removed for asking Secretary Noem a question. He was arrested for doing his job conducting oversight of Trump’s lawless deployment of the National Guard. This is political intimidation meant to silence dissent. And it must be condemned by all.

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" doesn't give working families "crumbs." It’s even worse. It rips away health care from them pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

We’re sounding the alarm because this is just wrong. This is not what a democracy looks like. If they can do this to a sitting US Senator on camera, imagine what they can do to you. Share. Speak out. And push your elected officials to do the same, especially the Republicans.

A veteran who fought for our freedoms. A mother with two toddlers who wants to see them enjoy those same freedoms. A former Republican county committee member who values country over party. Just three of the thousands of Americans who showed up proudly for the No Kings protests in Troy, Michigan.

1.2 million veterans rely on SNAP. 1.8 million rely on Medicaid. The "Big Beautiful Bill" puts those programs on the chopping block. All the North Korean-style theater in the world won't hide the fact that Trump’s policies would be devastating to millions who have served.
