I mean, when you get right down to it, the No Kings march will be antifascist. I'd ask Johnson if he's pro-fascist.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Trump’s lackeys need to be reminded every second about the legal jeopardy they are putting themselves in. So this is a good start.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 1d

RFK Jr: Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol.

Trump: There's a tremendous amount of of proof or evidence. I would say as a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time

Let's be clear: Trump has not brought peace or any kind of long-term settlement in the decades-long conflict between Israel and Palestine. He's brokered a potential cease-fire in the current war. That's a good thing (if it happens), but it sure as hell isn't "peace." So calm down that Nobel boner.

It's quite literally the opposite of reality. He's stating as fact something that didn't happen and isn't happening and getting annoyed at anyone who tries to tell him it's untrue. Invite him to Portland. Tell him to heave his big ass up there and take a look. Fucking delusional fuck.
