Bad Bunny as Super Bowl performer--then Nobel Prize goes to woman of color. In response, MAGA has been melting down! If enjoying Trump and MAGA freaking out is wrong, then I don’t want to be right! My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/bad-bunny-...

Bad Bunny as Super Bowl performer--then Nobel Prize goes to woman of color. MAGA really is being replaced!

Californians who want to help stop Trump's power grab, vote YES on PROP. 50. You should have received your ballot this week. Vote YES and return your ballot ASAP before November 4. Do it today so you don't forget. Let's fight back and defend democracy!

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.

SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

I made an ad for the October 18 #NoKings events for @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social, and it's coming out on Monday.

Should I be worried? 😃

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

That’s not an “arrest,” that’s a kidnapping!

ICE is the American Gestapo, and Trump is — as JD Vance said — America’s Hitler.

Hey Emmer: It’s a “No Kings” rally because WE LOVE AMERICA, unlike you, you treasonous idiot and Trump sycophant.
