Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Born 13 Oct 1941, singer/songwriter Paul Simon. He wrote "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in 1969 for which Art Garfunkel provided the vocals. The album went on to sell 26 million copies worldwide & the track has been covered by more than 50 artists. A work of genius by a confirmed genius. #PaulSimon

This is how Republicans talk when they think no one is watching. But none of this is surprising. MAGA is a white supremacist, anti-Semitic, anti-women, anti-democracy movement. This young MAGA leaders will be celebrated by Trump:

This is a really important point.

They want “meme authoritarianism.”

They want rage.

They’re getting frogs & aging hippies.

Not great optics—for them.

But great for us: you build a movement by showing folks that they’re part of an energized and hopeful “us.”

Let’s go!

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

As the Trump shutdown drags into its third week, it's clear Republicans are so committed to raising people's health care costs that they're willing to hold the country hostage to do it.

“By delaying Grijalva’s swearing-in, Johnson only deepens suspicious that the White House is hiding something.”

It’s time for Dems to find a judge who can swear Grijalva in. Enough of the bull crap from House Rethuglicans.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
