Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — Roy Cooper wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in North Carolina primary election.

ICE didn’t just shoot a woman, they blocked the ambulance. Eyewitnesses say thugs parked SUVs to delay lifesaving care and refused to let a doctor reach her body. Then DHS spun a story to justify it. It’s murder. Call it out.

I have canceled my Hilton Honors account.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

Virginia is holding its primaries are coming up in Tuesday, and there's a lot to track from the race to be the state's next attorney general to local battles for county board, prosecutor, and sheriff. To know more, explore our cheat sheet. boltsmag.org/whats-o...

Yeeeesss

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

The results are in! There were my favorite signs from yesterday’s No Kings protests. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Yep that’s the story today. And the next story is how we funnel these millions of new people into sustained local organizing in service of democracy.

The crowd in Asbury Park, NJ might’ve been as big as the dictatorship perade in DC. It was definitely more enthusiastic. Thank you to all who stood for democracy yesterday!

Thousands of SC residents attend ‘No Kings’ Protest #scnews

Today was a great day out at the No Kings Day/Save Democracy Rally at the Statehouse! It was great to meet so many new people. Thank you to all our great volunteers who helped make today a success! #NoKings #SaveDemocracy #InstantRunoffVoting #RankedChoiceVoting #IRV #RCV #MoreChoiceMoreVoice

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects. Just us—‘We the People.’

If this is accurate and they’re still counting, we just about reached the 3.5% rule! LFG Americans! great job!

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

🤣 you talking about how this kid, who isn’t even shaving yet, in charge of counterterrorism, doesn’t make you feel SAFE…🧐

It was not only a day to reject Kings in SE Louisiana, it was also election day for 5 Louisiana parishes to decide who would represent them on the Soil & Conservation Board. People were turned away & directed to vote at other locations, including other parishes, because of ballot shortages.

What’s next after over five million people here in the US, along with allies in cities from London to Tokyo, stood united yesterday in the belief that democracy is worth fighting for? We’re glad you asked. 👇

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Ironically, the Trump military parade *actually was* funded partly by Walmart www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

“God is reaching out to you [to] find[] the ways that we may be able to do something with our own lives to serve others. “And in that service to others we may find that coming together in friendship, building up community, we too can find true meaning in our lives.” www.osvnews.com/full-text-ad...

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

Huge turnout at the #NoKings rally in Hattiesburg, Missisisppi today, wrapping up and down both sides of the streets around City Hall. I'd estimate that about 300 people showed up, along with 2 pro-Trump counter-protesters.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Columbus OH had a few new groups join the annual Stonewall Parade down High Street. The reactions as @indivcentraloh.bsky.social got closer were amazing in their intensity! A short video of the crowd. @maddow.msnbc.com @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @demcast.com #NoKings

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for #NoKings so damn proud of my fellow North Carolinians for standing up for Democracy. In America we don’t do Kings.

NO KINGS. 🚫🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

At a peaceful protest in Wheaton, MD. People are fired up! #NoKings

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
