Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

WHEN YOU SPEND $61M ON YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY MILITARY PARADE (photo of a sparsely occupied field) WHEN A DAY IS DEDICATED SOLELY TO TELL YOU WHAT A DICK YOU ARE (SO SO SO many people)

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

So no terrorism then?

This is ridiculous.

Just a bunch of paid domestic terrorists in Portland, Maine.

Great day to show what you believe in. Speak your truth. Show you are prepared to fight against authoritarian rule. If you’re marching, having a teach-in,organizing, or resting for future battles, do it with the conviction that we will not give in, that we stand on the side of justice.And stay safe.

No Kings-Pittsburgh, PA

Swear her in, Speaker Johnson.

No Kings-Chicago, IL

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

Way to go, everyone! Huge turnouts from small towns to big cities all across the country!

Do you know what a group of frogs is called?

AN ARMY

#NoKings

Springfield, MA lots of people spread out along all four major streets at the intersection. Mostly honking and waving from cars driving by with the occasional thumbs sown.

This is how we roll!! So proud of Halifax, a great city to explore.

Remember our mantra:

Don't Engage, Just Block.

No Kings protest, 1776.

Nasty business

Federal Prosecutors Fired After Refusing Trump’s Pressure to Charge His Political Adversary Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: In the latest showcase of President Donald Trump’s influence over the Justice Department, two veteran federal prosecutors were fired for refusing to bring criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) — further exposing how the DOJ is being weaponized.

Alaska storm damage so bad many evacuees won’t go home for at least 18 months, governor says Damage to remote Alaska villages hammered by flooding last weekend is so extreme that many of the more than 2,000 people displaced won’t be able to return to their homes for at least 18 months.

Kids, once upon a time in this country the federal government had an agency named FEMA that assisted in disasters like this and worked to get people's homes either temporarily secured enough to live in again, or provided local temporary housing while permanent repairs were underway. 1.5 years, wow.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday

NYT confirms our reporting from days ago - which the WH said was fake news - that Trump and Hegseth are pulling a stunt to fire artillery rounds over I-5 between SD and LA onto Camp Pendleton as a stunt, one of the busiest highways in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...
