We couldn't find anyone among the 7 million+ No Kings attendees who says they were paid to protest. But X user @crypto4u1488 says each attendee was paid $750 by George Soros and bused in from other states. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

Seems the Narcissist-in-Chief is mad about the Time Mag cover neckgina pic so please don’t share it widely Thank you for your attention to this matter

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

As a Seattleite I can tell you we won’t bow to Trump’s invasion of our beautiful city. Stay the fuck out of Seattle. You have no authority here #DefundICE #Voices4victory #ProudBlue www.king5.com/article/news...

Joy is an act of resistance. We know National Guard troops don’t belong in our city—and our dogs agree... #PawsOffPortland.

Did Trump write the infamous Epstein birthday letter? You decide.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

SCOTUS has sided fully or partially with Trump 90% of the time (21 out of 23) on the shadow docket, where rulings are expedited with no oral argument. This is what "cHeCks aNd bALaNcEs" look like in a fascist police state.

Everyone at CBS News should quit in protest. This is a travesty. Bari Weiss is a misinformation-peddling right-wing operative. She’s totally unqualified for this job.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Pete Hegseth smirking at his own stupid jokes today was so cringey I can’t believe we are all gonna get killed by that guy. I’d like to be killed by someone cool please.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Brendan Carr wrote the section of Project 2025 on the FCC. If only people had listened to our warnings about their scheme. The Heritage Foundation has been planning this for years. They only needed a puppet to be president and SCOTUS gave him immunity.

Breaking: Border Czar Tom Homan to deport bribe taker Tom Homan.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

The far right’s playbook is simple: lie, dehumanize, and incite violence. WSJ had to retract its fake “trans/antifa” casings story, but MAGA keeps spreading it. Utah’s governor even prayed the shooter was foreign—because Republicans cage brown children, run concentration camps, and weaponize cruelty

hi, cis folks! the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction. it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this. contact info below.🧵⬇️

As facts emerge about the background and persuasions of Charlie Kirk’s killer, we should be reminded that responsible people wait for facts to emerge…not instantly attempt to incite violence against “the radical left.”

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Iowa tonight is exactly why Republicans are redrawing their maps.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.

Trump always adopts the views of the last person he spoke to. The Eu have profiled him extensively and did an excellent job yesterday.

While our bench is amazing, I realised yesterday that we missed Winnie-the-Pooh off... will have to redress that someday... - Michael

I know that shrieking and wringing one's hands every hour on the hour isn't going to accomplish anything, but every now and then it kicks in for me that the president of the United States is a maniac, and, to be honest, it's bothersome.

Donald doesn't care about the lives of Ukrainians or their kidnapped children. It is clear that he only cares about being seen as an incompetent negotiator in Alaska. Good. Because he *was* an incompetent negotiator in Alaska (and everywhere else). I'm glad this is bothering him so much.

We're in court today challenging a Texas law that requires all public K-12 schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Public school is for learning, not evangelizing.

I've sent Pedro home to read. I think you ought to do the same thing. Swing by a bookshop on the way, why not?

ANCHORAGE…

Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. — which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Lucky for us, the “roving mobs of wild youth” in DC buy lots of books.

I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?

It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.
