No better way to build morale in the military than forcing troops to march down largely empty streets in a thunderstorm to celebrate a draft dodger’s birthday

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Undocumented immigrants pay approx $100-Billion in taxes yrly. The IRS says the wealthiest Americans evade more than $150-Billion, yrly. But Republicans are rampaging to wipe out the poorest taxpayers & give the rich even bigger tax breaks. The poor pay more. Shame on Congress. #TaxTheRich #resist

Trump is advertising on DC Craig’s List to pay people to come to his Birthday Tank Parade “for space maximization perception.” Fraud. Waste. Abuse. We taxpayers are footing the $45-million. #NoKings #protest

Is anyone surprised that Trump is PAYING people to come & fill seats for his authoritarian-style Birthday Tank Parade? Taxpayers will foot the $45 million bill. His ad reads it's for "enhancing attendance perception" #NoKings #resist washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

Trump has to pay people to come to his $45M B'day Tank Parade: Wear red, white, and blue attire. A red hat will be provided upon check-in. Role Responsibilities: Assist in maximizing space utilization and enhancing attendance perception. #NoKings #resist washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

Senator Padilla is a ranking member of the Sen. Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety! Kristi Noem is a pathological liar. A hired gun who looks right at the camera & lies repeatedly pretending not to know him. #SenatorPadilla #NoKings tomorrow & #protest

Remember Jan 6 rioters trying to hang Mike Pence? Rather than call in the National Guard, as requested, Trump sat there watching the rioters for hours, then pardoned them when reelected. The hypocrisy & cruelty of this authoritarian regime is shameful. #resist #GoodTrouble #PeacefulProtest #NoKings

Trump's cruel authoritarian push to crush our First Amendment right to protest peaceably is a distraction from his big ugly budget bill--stripping health care from 15 million Americans--all to make his rich family & friends even richer + skyrocket the deficit. See you Saturday! #NoKings #resist

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

It may a generation or more to re-build the damage caused by these cuts to science & research funding. Not to mention to restore America's reputation as a leader in science and research.

We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.

Republicans are lying through their teeth about Medicaid cuts. 1 in 10 Veterans rely on it. Cutting it isn’t just cruel — it’s a direct hit on those who served. They think no one’s paying attention. We’ve got the receipts. Don't let them spin it. MORE: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Don't miss Broadway's brilliant play "Good Night, and Good Luck" starring George Clooney as Edward R. Murrow during America's 1950s red scare. Sunday watch a live CNN telecast at 7pm ET. It resonates with all the horrors of today's lies, cruelty & fear-mongering. Please spread the word! @cnn.com
