Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

The idea of moving the Olympics will stick in his vapid, sick, toddler brain as pay back to Newsom (who won't be governor but that's beside the point)

Thank you to all the journalists and their publications and websites for not capitulating! And the rest of us need to continue to support them, even if limited access yields fewer scoops.

Cost to fund Obamacare subsidies for a year: 35B

Amount just given to that sick fuck running Argentina: 40B

But we have to keep the govt closed because Democrats want to spend too much on health care.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

“Go to a No Kings rally. What do you see? You see moms and grandmas and kids and dogs and funny signs and dancing and happy displays of opposition to the regime that are foundationally nonviolent. And on the other end, you’ve got a regime that’s led by a guy who cheered the January 6th insurrection”

Regarding past rallies Indivisible has organized, such as the “Hands Off” rallies that took place in all fifty states in April, co-executive director Ezra Levin said: “It was far larger than January 6th, and there was no violence. None.” www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-r...

Why aren't you demanding the same from Winsome Earl-Sears? Why do Democrats always have to resign (Al Franken) but Republicans NEVER, EVER, EVER do (Cory Mills)?
