POP QUIZ: The Tennessean is… A) bad at math B) like other outlets, intentionally downplaying the crowd at the Capitol 🤷🏼

Even in a digital era, the choices editors make about the Sunday front page say a great deal about their priorities

When you’ve lost Epoch Times, Fox and Newsmax as a right-winger, maybe you are the problem.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

Breathtaking incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Seems like a reasonable request

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

The brand new GOP position this morning, apparently, is that old white people suck. I kid you not. #NoKings

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

We stayed classy. #NoKings

On 10/17 Kristi Noem approved the purchase of two Gulfstream G700 jets for approx $200 million during the shutdown. Call the GOP. There IS money for healthcare if we make better choices. John Boozman 202-224-4843 Marsha Blackburn 202-224-3344 John Barrasso 202-224-6441 Jim Banks 202-224-4814

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Can we get back to Epstein please

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Sniper rifles at No Kings! Nuts.

Venice, FL, bringing it. We’re in the heart of Trumpistan. #nokings

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

Just in time for the No Kings protest… “Putin’s Glory Hole” sculptures are popping up all over DC, courtesy of a mystery artist. They’re bolted down, so good luck taking them down. Support the arts.

Phenomenal

#NoKings, #Resist NC! 😂

For the record, the judges and staff of our federal courts are working without pay, but Congress is being paid without working. I am infuriated by the preposterousness of these ridiculous times.

I didn't miss it. This sign is five miles from home:

Billionaires must be panicking over the No Kings turnout. They’ll cook up anything to divide us so they don’t have to pay taxes. We MUST get money OUT of politics for good!
