There are over 700 events planned for No Kings Day. As Trump defies courts, ignores the Constitution and punishes dissenters, all while he and his friends get even richer, June 14 needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet.

Turns out the β€œdeep state” wasn’t the Federal workers, but the politicians and the financers who bought them.

Can we admit our democracy has not been working for a long time? Campaign finance corruption, poor voter turnout, Congress unable to pass a budget, dependence on executive orders for β€œlaw making.” Time for the 2nd Republic of the USA. We can do better than what we have now!

Man arrested in theft of DHS chief Kristi Noem's purse is in the U.S. illegally, official says Noem’s bag was stolen by a masked man Sunday night while she was having dinner with her family in Washington, D.C.

Hey @nbcnews.com you should really clarify that the "official" you mention in the headline is Trump Stasi Ed Martin. I 100% don't believe it., nor should anyone else on his word alone. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him

Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

@mariners.com You’ve changed managers, stadiums, owners, and oh so many players with the same results. Maybe it is time to change your name and/or the mascot. There has to be a curse.

First they came for people I feared and I was thrilled. Then they came for people who are different and who make me uncomfortable and I was relieved. Then they came for people I disagree with and I was righteous. Then they came for people who were just in the way and I couldn’t move fast enough.

Trump, who wanted the Central Park 5 executed after being acquited, wants us to trust him when he says the people he denied due process and illegally deported to El Salvador are β€œvery bad people.” I don’t think so!

The Republicans are holding our Government hostage in their CR negotiations. They have weakened their negotiation position by revealing their plan to kill the hostage.

Trump Wants to Be President for Lifeβ€”and He’s Already Preparing for It No, he’s not β€œjoking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.

There’s no one around to stop Trump from declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution or even an election.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Here’s What Senate Democrats Should Be Doing to Fight Trump Senate rules were explicitly designed to protect the minority. Democrats should exploit them mercilessly to slow Trump and Musk before they destroy the country.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issueβ€”without showing a damn shred of data.

They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers…

Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

NEW: Elon Musk's buddies and DOGE underlings are working in the dark to make drastic changes to the US government.

@propublica.org is shining light on them with our new tracker.

Read. Share. Most importantly, send us your Musk tips: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

Step 3: Get rid of the IGs and the independent Justice department so there are no longer any skills to investigate wrong doing in the Excutive Branch. Step 4: appoint an incompetent to head the Defence Department who is willing to use the military against citizens. Check-mate!

The roots of this USA government coup (buy-out) is with the Citizen’s United. Step 1: Buy a President not interested in governing and easily manipulated with flattery. Step 2: Buy enough congress members who don’t know the Constitution and hate the Federal beauracracy. No checks and balances.

We need an opposing plan to counter Project 2025. Should reflect coherent, measured, stiff, resourced actions & outcomes. Proactive rather than merely reactive. Leverage "cancel culture economics". Extra credit homework: make robust plan in 24hrs as if crisis. Include Liz. / GOP allies. #aroused

Republicans move to repeal lead limits imposed by Biden-era rules US government would be prohibited from ever mandating lead pipe replacement or lowering lead limits in water

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced.

Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.

So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?
