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.

Breaking news: Nearly a quarter of FBI agents across the country are currently reassigned to immigration enforcement.

The large number of reassignments reflect a vast reshaping of the agency and could put other priorities at risk.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

No King's Day is going to be an absurdist costume party for sure.

What we all need to understand is that joy is our strongest weapon against them. It's the thing they hate most, and the thing they try the hardest to stifle.

Bring your joy to the fight, and they will collapse under the weight of it

Literally millions of people turned out at the last No Kings protest. Does he seriously think they were all paid by Soros? If your family member said this, you would think they had lost it.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

I’m reminded of the Trump apologists of the horseshoe left scoffing at the Twitter exodus because in real fascism people flee the country, but in America’s not-a-problem people fled a website.

A lapdog for a dictator, not a watchdog of democracy. Xi does it. Maduro does it. Trump wants to do it. It's obvious. Control the dialogue, control the narrative, control the story, control the country. Mind control. Dan Rather, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel. They might question. They might mock.
