Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger.

We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up.
I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."”

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

We made some awesome protest stickers!
Check 'em out - say hi - tell a friend!

How the Enchanting, Elusive Pink Fairy Armadillo Became One Scientist's Obsession

A conservation biologist in Argentina once hosted one of the animals in her living room, but finding them in the wild has proven far more difficult.
