📽️ WATCH: This video on the rise of Russ Vought, Trump's “shadow president,” is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

Three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices will face an up or down vote next month in an election whose outcome will likely impact the midterms. @douglaskeith.bsky.social explains everything you need to know about the high-stakes judicial race.

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

All the folks who say “beans keep, why don’t the soybean farmers just hold onto them until this tariff crisis is over” probably should watch this video

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem watched.

“I think Vance’s “New Right” will carry the argument. The motivation is obvious: As long as you never criticize anyone on the right for smaller scandals, you don’t have to do the same when the consequences are much greater and involve someone like Trump himself.” www.thebulwark.com/p/racist-you...

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

Important: this is exactly how propagandists operate.

Be part of this, show up for #NoKings on Saturday — and join up with an organization afterwards — do what you can, it matters.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.
