Geez, I hate it when Mom and Dad fight....

Today's front pages from around the country. frontpages.freedomforum.org/gallery

Courage.

It’s worth noting that Monday will be the 10-year anniversary of the orange MF’S ride down the golden escalator in front of people paid to hold signs that began this long national and global nightmare. Never would’ve guessed every single Republican would go full-on fascist.

As usual Rachel is right: “The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country are going to allow him to do.” LFG America! Nonviolent resistance in the streets! No Kings! @maddow.msnbc.com

Well, this sure didn't age well....from Oct. '24 THE HILL @thehill "Kamala's newest lie: Trump will send the army after you" (@TheHillOpinion) thehill. com

If you can find it online, the whole A Block of Rachels' show Monday is worth seeing, if nothing else, for inspiration for No Kings Saturday.

#ProudBlue Amazing! So proud of people in San Diego. We must stand strong against this evil. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! ICE is the modern day gestapo.

#1 rule of PR: Ensure your "We're ignoring the rule of law. Again." message is delivered by a smirking canned ham with glasses. Be sure to include an "Up is down" statement at the end as the chef's kiss.

Looks like the non-stop Biden bashing is doing for CNN’s ratings what even Chris Licht couldn’t. www.showbiz411.com/2025/05/24/j...

And of course, he attacks the reporter who asks the question.

New: CBP seized a shipment of t-shirts from @cola.baby featuring a swarm of bees attacking a cop. The company also sells "ELIMINATE ICE" t-shirt and previously was threatened by LAPD for "FUCK THE LAPD" shirts and hats. Shirts to be "destroyed under CBP supervision" www.404media.co/cbp-seizes-s...

NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

I'll never cease to be amazed at how the apparatchiks are willing to twist themselves into verbal pretzels to avoid answering questions if it would show that Dear Leader is wrong. If Jim Jones were alive, he'd be amazed. "Damn, I thought *my* followers were sycophants. This is a whole new level."

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

Trump golfed for 31 days of his first 100. Now, instead of funding disaster relief, the GOP directed $300M in FEMA funding to pay for Trump's golf security while communities destroyed by natural disasters are being denied aid. Again and again, he chooses himself over Americans.

Recent staffing cuts by Trump and Musk are putting Social Security at risk. app.sosha.ai/s/6VW38vEp

I just want one reporter, ONE, to say “there’s a lot more evidence that you are a rapist than Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13.”

WTF? Trump claims there are "too many eggs" and "prices are getting too low" in bizarre White House appearance. app.sosha.ai/s/rkcWZF6R

Layoffs, higher prices, and empty shelves: We're about to see the consequences of Trump's tariffs. app.sosha.ai/s/E6Ai3LWv

NEW: A top official in the Department of Labor this week informed all staff members that they could face criminal charges if they speak to journalists, former employees or others about agency business.

Trolling Bill Maher #USpol www.huffpost.com/entry/larry-...

Why elect more insurrectionists? Republicans already have that covered.

"You can't win every battle, but you won't win if you don't fight." (She may be terrified, but she's brilliant! And this - especially at the halftime - is fantastic.) youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

1/ Rick Wilson: "Sometimes, you find a strategic weak point in the authoritarian vertical — like Tesla—where a single, well-placed shot shakes the entire edifice. Tesla is Elon, & Elon is Tesla. You can’t separate them." #TeslaTakedown No paywall.

In case you were wondering how various newspapers covered Hands Off! yesterday. Spoiler alert: WaPo was - predictably - a huge fail. frontpages.freedomforum.org

Trump sees Putin and himself as a pair of mob bosses carving up geopolitical territory. On the pod, @saletan.bsky.social is really good in laying out the clear evidence of this. Check out these exchanges in the three screen caps below: newrepublic.com/article/1929...

Driven by people fed up with flaccid actions by Democratic leadership www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If they were really auditing, they'd have brought accountants, not programmers.
