Breaking news: No King organizers estimate Saturday’s protest could be the largest in U.S. history, with 15–20 million attendees. No wonder Trump is nervous — it would surpass the George Floyd protests. Both critically important.

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Popok: Why isn’t Mike Johnson swearing her in and allowing her to serve the people who elected her? Because she’s promised to be the 218th signature on the discharge petition related to the Epstein files.

DHS claims a “high-ranking Latin Kings member” from Chicago, solicited the murder of top Border Patrol chief.

But at his indictment, there was no mention of gang ties. His lawyers & family say DHS’s narrative of Juan Espinoza Martinez, is false.

About 13 officers in a crowd of community members and protesters were exposed to the tear gas. This is the second time CPD officers have been gassed by ICE while trying to work with them.

The move violates a judge’s order telling federal agents to rein in excessive force. trib.al/hmhsWkI

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
