As usual, a great read from Will, but does the 7 million number underrepresent the insane amount of crowded small town and city protests that took place yesterday?

It’s important to note that phenomena was a record breaker, too. Social media is littered with evidence of that.

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

How does tearing down the White House to build a ballroom help the American people?

Explain it to me like I’m 5.

There were many great low-budget indie films in the early 90s and some grossly overrated ones (*cough* Clerks *cough*), but the most criminally neglected one is "Laws of Gravity," starring Edie Falco in one of her first movie roles and Peter Greene.

You really need to see Greene act in something.

What used to be a place of joy or simple routine check-ins has become a horror house of fear and separation under this federal government.

As someone who would be the first immigrant Mayor in generations, I refuse to stand for it.

Reminder: The press pummeled Biden over the "garbage" quote for the full week before the election. Aside from social media, this quote will largely go unnoticed.

"Book sales" on the infamous Beck blackboard? Did I miss those huge antifa bestsellers? Or did Glenn mean "bake sales"? Because, yeah, antifa has a ton of those.

Correction: Republican Fed Governor. Stop letting them off the hook. They're *all* MAGA. I'm begging everyone to stop letting them get away with the notion that there are sensible Republicans out there. There aren't.

There was only one "mass movement" that David Brooks ever respected:

Pictures of the "Brooks Brothers riot," in which Republican staffers tried to disrupt election canvassers in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on November 22, 2000. Yes, this was a prelude to January 6, 2021; the Republican Party was always headed this way.

Untold millions are wasted on dreadful political consulting and @aoc.bsky.social just tosses this keeper out:

“That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”
