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.

Wow. Trump really shit the bed with his China tariff saber-rattling today. What a dipshit - the one sector doing fairly well gets spooked (finally). Maybe now the investment bros will start pushing back against him. Maybe.

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.
