No Kings — Freedom (video) Why protest is patriotic

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT REJECTS BID BY INFOWARS' ALEX JONES TO CHALLENGE $1.4 BILLION DEFAMATION JUDGMENT OWED TO FAMILIES OF SANDY HOOK SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I need to be able to tell my children I did not stay silent.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

More CDC Cuts 💣💥

Gone is the Employee Assistance Program. They help staff deal with many things, among them coping with the trauma of being the victim of a terrorist attack 2 months ago.

Also gone, every policy and communications role left, eliminating any communication function at CDC.

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

YouTube video by New York Times Opinion You Might Have Already Fallen for MAHA’s Conspiracy Theories

Our reporting on how MAHA influencers radicalize people is now up on the @nytimes.com YouTube page.

Meredith Lee Hill on Twitter: “Speaker Johnson's leadership team has said privately they will swear in Grijalva right before first votes when House returns But they're still deciding whether to bring back the House at all next week amid the shutdown They were admittedly over-confident after 3 Senate Dems initially voted for the CR - expecting Thune would pick up more this week He did not. It just failed again — with the shutdown dragging into next week.”

Republicans fully expected them to cave, but Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

Thank you to everyone who is taking action and encouraging your Dem senators to keep fighting to safeguard healthcare for millions. Let’s keep it going: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

How propaganda works The Kennedy video we knew was coming

Kennedy is banking on the fact that most people are not going to read these studies. Sadly, he’s correct. I’ve been seeing propaganda from his video repeated verbatim on social media all week.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"[Trump's] 'mental state,' according to Justin A. Frank, a former clinical professor of psychiatry … , 'include[s] so many psychic afflictions' that a 'working knowledge of psychiatric disorders is essential to understanding Trump.'"

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

The Commander in Chief Is Not Okay Trump put on a disturbing show for America’s generals and admirals.

The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief?

www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

A screenshot of an X post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar , 5h ago) quoting Trump speaking to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out." The post includes an image of a man in a suit speaking at a podium with the presidential seal, set against a backdrop of the American flag.

There is no “invasion from within” just like there is no “Tren de Aragua” invasion from Venezuela. You can’t make things up, then use them as an excuse for going to war or disappearing innocent people into foreign prisons.
