Tom Emmer couldn't care less about telling the truth, but his dishonesty exposes Mike Johnson's BS. @saletan.bsky.social on the man putting the lie to Mike Johnson's shutdown excuses: www.thebulwark.com/p/tom-emmer-...

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

King Charles strips his brother Andrew of “Prince” title and royal housing. In a statement, the palace said, “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.”

Reminder:

Allowing these ICE kidnappings to become a common occurrence works to normalize this cruelty. This is how the “first they came” poem happens. No one speaks out or resists until, inevitably, they come for you. It’s up to our communities to look out for themselves when the systems meant to, wont.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

“Trump says he will not seek authorization for extrajudicial murders of boaters” definitely has different implications

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We have a government shut down folks! Congress has handed the keys over to Trump--Republicans are perfectly ok with staying on vacation. They get paid! Will they ever go back is the question or are they happy with how things are. Do not be distracted.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Treasury Dept. tells employees not to share any photos of the White House as Trump demolishes it (The Treasury Dept is next door to the WH) www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

On the morning after the massive No Kings rallies, let’s take a moment to review: The opposition is real. And it is huge. Saturday saw one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Great thread of local front pages that went big with No Kings

Allosaurus Things Considered

One of the best signs so far and those huddled masses that we're fighting for. No Kings

I’m heartbroken I couldn’t join the No Kings protest today — but I’m thrilled to report that @votersoftomorrow.org chapters around the country made it clear that Gen Z won’t stand for fascism.

Thousands showed up in downtown Miami for the entirely peaceful #NoKingsDayOct18th protests against Donald Trump.

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

Weird to see chants of “USA! USA!” at these rallies that I was assured were “Hate America” rallies.

Thousands of people have gathered in downtown Denver for today’s No Kings protest against the Trump administration. Similar smaller protests are being held across Colorado. #copolitics

Organizers in more than 2,600 cities and towns across the U.S. were gearing up Saturday morning for mass demonstrations against the Trump administration that were expected to draw millions of protesters.

Great turnout today - right now! - in Barcelona, protesting Trump’s dictator actions. We will restore democracy. I estimate we’ve had ~250 people here, though some more have stopped through. Barcelona has just over 7,000 residents who are from the U.S. #notyrants

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

NYT confirms our reporting from days ago - which the WH said was fake news - that Trump and Hegseth are pulling a stunt to fire artillery rounds over I-5 between SD and LA onto Camp Pendleton as a stunt, one of the busiest highways in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. This shutdown has Republicans' name written all over it.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples? HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.
