Almost... and not for lack of trying. The soup knows. #fdt

Yesterday's No Kings protest in Corvallis was amazing to behold! Thousands from our community stood together with millions, joined in similar protests across the nation. And we will keep showing up, speaking truth to power until power hears our truth and bends to the will of the people. #NoKings

NOTE: This was Saturday, June 14--yesterday, not today. 🙄

With all due respect (a LOT of respect and gratitude), I feel like we're past warning signs. This is a fire, set by arsonists. We're under attack.

Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.

Yikes! All common-sense precautions and regulatory guardrails have been removed, it seems.

He couldn't look more miserable. 🤣

I believe it DID happen, and I think those were Elon's kids or, as he likes to call them, his "legion".

Those stairs can be a real bear.

LET'S GO! To 3.5% and beyond!

Folks, this is a scam.

The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.

Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

Resistance is alive and well in the United States Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

Keep it up! Go to local protests, and encourage your friends to join you!

It seems that calling Teslas “swasticars” really bugs Elon. I guess Czarlink would also be bad, da?

A senator visits our embattled ally and is, thus, branded a traitor. So, the unelected, un-American Musk has decided Ukraine is now the enemy? Does that mean we've officially switched sides? How is this happening?

She nailed it.

Never heard of him. Hope I never see or hear of him again.

The State of the Union Is Less Than Ideal For some reason, the Trump Team Didn’t Use My Speech

Since bending the knee seems to be all the rage these days, @davidlitt.bsky.social, a junior speechwriter for President Obama, took a shot at drafting Trump’s big speech. Unfortunately, his team went in a different direction. Read the original proposal now.

Did you see his lips move? If so, you saw him lie.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

It's as if Putin is continually speaking to him through an earpiece, directing everything he says and does.
