Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

What we saw on No King's Day, with people on the streets was the tip of the iceberg of people who feel the way those crowds do. For every one who made it to the street, there is a host of others who wish they could have been there.

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

IDK about you, but I'm pretty sure a US President who shares a video of himself as a KING literally shitting on his own citizens isn't fit for office.😢💩💩💩👑

On the Prince Andrew thing: I suspect most people couldn’t care less which titles he has or how he uses them. The point is that *he* cares about them, and that the king – who has clearly forced him into this declaration – wanted to deliver a smackdown of his brother in public so that we’d all see it

Trump is perversely helped by the fact that you can’t tell whether you should attribute a specific Trump claim to his melting brain or his melted soul.

Is He Lying or Crazy? Does It Matter?

Living in the world the president dreams up.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”
