China's Communist Party marks 70th anniversary of its rule with military parade
YouTube video by Washington Post China's Communist Party marks 70th anniversary of its rule with military parade

This rather grand military parade China threw for itself is, no doubt, what Donald envisioned his birthday parade would be like. No wonder he was so unhappy at his Dollar Store version.

This seems an excellent day to post a pic of the burning Reichstag in Berlin. Hitler blamed the 1933 fire on communists and used it as a pretext to suspend civil liberties and to allow the Nazis to peruse "ruthless confrontation" with German citizens.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Snapshot: "These Republicans Cannot Know a Moment of Peace" Illinois Governor JB Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruptions in response to the Trump regime's cruelty and "authoritarian power grabs"

“It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research,” Gov. Pritzker said. “Time to stop thinking we can reason or negotiate with a madman.”

If Paramount pays Trump a bribe to leave them alone, let your reaction be known in the only way Paramount cares about: Cancel your subscription.

Mike Johnson has work to do convincing Donald Trump to slash Medicaid House Republicans are relying on deep cuts to the safety-net health program to finance their megabill. But the president is deeply wary.

Exclusive: Trump is skeptical of congressional Republicans’ emerging plans to make deep cuts to Medicaid.

“Trump is definitely not convinced on reductions in Medicaid spending,” an outside adviser told us.

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.

We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.

DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.

Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.

Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Imagine being an hideous person who is so stupid he has to pretend the only way people would dislike him is if they were paid to *pretend* to dislike him. What an idiot.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

Republicans Quietly Move to Relinquish Power to Undo Trump’s Tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China House G.O.P. leaders tucked the provision into a procedural measure needed to pass a government spending bill.

"In this case, Republican leaders did so using a particularly unusual contortion: They essentially declared the rest of the year one long day, nullifying a law that allows the House and Senate to jointly put an end to a disaster declared by the president."
