If only we had a president who cared enough to do this nationally.

Who hates America, people who protest against a President who abuses the Constitution or millions of citizens marching to make sure democracy survives so our children and grandchildren can enjoy its fruits? Anyone who thinks No Kings involves hate, doesn't understand our country.

Next time, let’s try a Speaker who spends more time working in his office, and less time lying on TV.

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Beleaguered workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon flock to unionize Amid Trump's onslaught, nearly all voted yes.

Hundreds of staff at two of California’s most popular national parks have voted to unionize, a move that comes during a troubled summer for the National Park Service.

Amid Trump’s onslaught, nearly all voted yes.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority.

The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:
