#NoKings3 rally *on the way* to the much larger big Downtown rally. Rallies also happening in West County, South County, and across the east side suburbs. Bigger than #NoKings2!! People are also more pissed off. #FuckTrump
Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
Trump’s attack on Iran and the plot against your vote

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

when they say that everyone should have a right to carry a weapon in public they mean only loyal Republicans have a right to carry a weapon in public. if you don't agree them politically and you carry a weapon then that's justification for them to shoot you dead.
Those of us who knew Tim O’Leary on his way up — as when we worked for him as Executive Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis — know him to be a man of the highest character. Bravo, Tim! You make us who love the arts, and love D.C. as it used to be, very proud. #ETTD

How to answer a loaded question. (This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)
Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.
“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
I went through all 1,700-plus pages of subpoenas released by Chuck Grassley this week and mapped out how the organizations and people in them connect. That and more in this week's newsletter! Click click click click. www.howtoreadthisch.art/the-web-that...

Couldn't agree more. If you still have your prime account, it's past time to drop it.
I will never give another cent to Washington University if they bend the knee to a dictator.
I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
Texas National Guard arrives in Chicago. Lou Malnati’s Pizza restaurants immediately go to DefCon 3.
This will not end until voters boot out MAGA lawmakers who refuse to rein in Trump. We will not be safe from a dictatorial presidency as long as the SCt refuses to check executive overreach. Meanwhile, all Americans must defend our neighbors, our deepest-held values, and what's left of our democracy
The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.
