Millions of people who love their country showed up for No Kings Day protests against Trump

What's the point of holding elected officials to account if Trump just pardons them (at least Republicans) anyway.
While, at the same time, ordering the prosecution of his perceived critics

So Hegseth wears Russia's flag colors for a meeting with Zelensky.
He likely has dozens of necktie choices and he picks this one. Messages get sent in many ways.

Trump has gone to a friendly majority on SCOTUS to allow deployment of National Guard in Chicago.
Chances they will rule not in his favor??

This is a consequence of Trump's war on cities--negatively affect business and commerce.
Part of the plan?

No Kings Day coincides with the Baltimore Running Festival. So...you can participate in the protest by sign waving at different points along the marathon route.

Oklahoma Gov Kevin Stitt, GOP chair of the National Governors Assoc criticizes TX National Guard deployment to Illinois --
"Oklahomans would lose their mind if [Gov. JB] Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration"
Who can argue with that?

65% in Maryland disapprove of Trump's policies and performance.
The number driven by Dems and Independents.
Republicans are firmly in approval of Trump

This is right..Get the information. Track down the distribution route if it exists.
What's the point of just attacking the boat and the people on it?

And now there are 3 former fed officials to be charged in Trump's use of DOJ against his critics.
If I recall, Trump also allegedly had classified docs at Mar-A-Lago.
But the case was dropped

What does this tell us....
US military commander overseeing the attacks on boats in the Caribbean is stepping down.
Adm Alvin Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks, according to an unnamed US official

Trump's team just spends billions as they please.
Congress? They seem to have forfeited any attempt at oversight

Figured this would be part of Trump's vindictive playbook. Using the IRS to go after his targets
And Congress just watches

Pressure to fulfill your duty as House speaker is certainly not a publicity stunt. The people of Arizona deserve representation.

People who protest on Oct 18 do not hate America. They hate the effort to deconstruct it through suppression of rights, favored treatment of billionaires, and silencing of protest.
That is love for the freedoms we need to protect.

We are at a serious level authoritarian governance at the Pentagon.
But reporters have their sources. (Probably more now)
Confident they will use them

Another university stands up to Trump

Conservatives on SCOTUS appear ready to gut a key part of the Voting Rights Act.
Result: (via NYT)

Thin-skinned politicians do this kind of thing.
As if shaming the reporter proves them wrong.
It doesn't.
Have to press on with holding Trump and team to account

This is very troubling for the cause of journalism.
Read the thread about the good work the Indiana University student newspaper has done..which the university clearly doesn't like

A new generation of leadership in the GOP.
With vile, racist views.

Exactly. Prosecute ICE agents who assault and abuse residents.
Make them accountable.
Their own agency won't do it.
State and locals should.

Look at him pull his mask up so he can't be identified as he grabs the man.
What is he afraid of?

If this doesn't speak clearly to what is going on in Washington...and not going on.
Priority of Mike Johnson is getting Trump a Novel prize

This is abusive. Handcuffing a 6 yr old. For what exactly except to be inhumane

It's about time someone stands up for full representation of the people of Arizona and against Mike Johnson's refusal to seat duly elected Adelita Grijalva

No one should question the No Kings protests.

This is going to be a very revealing decision about this court.
Will they strike down a core piece of the Voting Rights Act that protects racial minorities?
While...Trump is out there telling states to redraw their Congressional districts to help him stay in power

Trump loves to take credit.
The release of hostages is a significant step.
But the hard part is lasting peace, rebuilding Gaza, and the future for the Palestinian people.
Trump has avoided all of that.
