No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

Facts:

President Calvin Coolidge was sworn into office by his own father, John Calvin Coolidge Sr.

President Lyndon Johnson was sworn into office by U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes.

Mike Johnson's refusal to swear-in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is felonious! Swear her in! Now!

An enduring mystery to me is how 1 out of every 50 people in the US can turn out for a rally but not a single news network will preempt talking head coverage for extended rally coverage.

People just went to a thing! They want to see that thing on TV, and the people that were there interviewed!

I could kinda buy any other President pretending they’re shrugging off 7 million people hitting the streets to convey they hate him, but not the guy still beefing with Rosie O’Donnell.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The rule that the Speaker of the House has sole discretion as to when members of Congress are sworn-in to office is obviously flawed AF.

Once election results are recognized and certified, any active judge should be allowed to swear representatives into office.

JD Vance used active duty troops for partisan politics and told them that Democrats want them unpaid.

He crossed a line no American leader should ever cross and he keeps doing it.

He didn’t speak to our troops today, he spoke through them to divide us.👇

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.
