Scathing and excellent!

Millions march against the fascism the #BrokenTimes is blind to. It now refuses to count their numbers and it muffles their voices in small, BTW headlines. This is not journalism.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Israel accuses Hamas of breaching ceasefire, reportedly attacks Gaza An Israeli military official accused Hamas of a "bold violation of the ceasefire," while a senior Hamas official accused Israel of violating the agreement.

Got flak for saying on CNN last Friday that Trump deserves no credit for resolving the Gaza war because he... didn't resolve the Gaza war. Sure enough:

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

The event organizers say 7m people showed up. That would mean ~1 out of every 50 Americans came out to protest the president

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.
#NoKings

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.

7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.

2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

#NoKings ad for Dubuque, Iowa 🤣🔥

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days.

Epstein Shutdown.

If you're going to write headlines like this, why even have newspapers?

Just adding FYI: the Jan 6 pipe bombs are odd only if people insist they were lone wolf and random. They were not. They were meant to pull police away from the planned attack on the Capitol. Multiple people knew they were there, and the same people also monitored other aspects of the Capitol attack.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Office of the President Dear Dartmouth community, As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” I am deeply committed to Dartmouth’s academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence. You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves. Best, Sian Leah Beilock President

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice

Toning it down is NOT free speech!

Sen. Cassidy warns against ending the birth dose of hepatitis B: “Before 1991, as many as 20,000 babies were infected with hepatitis B in the U.S., and that changed when the hepatitis B vaccine was approved for newborns…Now, fewer than 20 babies per year get hepatitis B from their mother.”

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real…

Patel: That’s false

Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye

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.

Two Cases Provide Critical Guidance to Rescue Democracy We need candor from the bench and from the media

Trump regime’s arrogant abuse of power in manipulating state officials and independent agencies to execute its program of revenge should shock Americans. Fortunately, MAGA persecution of Media Matters shocked the judge who delivered a rip-roaring defense of 1stA

They are grabbing power as fast as they can. They know Trimps days are numbered. Then they can replace him with whomever they want. It's damn horrifying.

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies.

We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left.

They refused to give us numbers.

So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵
