Mike Johnson tried tonight to characterize the upcoming No Kings 2.0 day on 10/18 as a “Hate America” movement. Wrong. Utterly wrong. To reject dictators, authoritarians, and tyrants is to love America, to love the very idea at the heart of it.

Qatar gave Trump a $55B golf deal, a golden flying palace, laughed at his jokes and told him he's pretty, and now in payback he's letting them build a Qatari military base on US soil? Ohhhh, can you imagine another president doing this and the GOP not completely losing their shit? I can't.
Trump critics fume over latest Qatar deal: ‘The corruption is so blatant’
Qatar will have an "air force facility" at an Idaho military base, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do."

ICYMI: We sued the DOJ and the FBI for any records of interviews with Donald Trump in connection with the government’s investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The public deserves the full truth.

Trump’s TikTok deal is short on details. “But what has been released should alarm anyone concerned with this administration’s drive to consolidate wealth and media power in the hands of a loyal few,” @davidfrum.bsky.social argues.
Trump’s Dodgy Plan for TikTok
The details are murky, but it looks like the president is about to further enrich and empower his friends.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Ábrego García's attorneys say he's willing to be deported to Costa Rica. The government has ignored that request, instead floating the possibility of deporting him to a variety of African nations.

Dear Leader's April results had similarly declared him “fully fit to serve,” clocking in at 6’2” and 224 pounds — which, as Hayes dryly noted, puts him in the same weight class as Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.

I know WE are all disgusted about the Qatari Airbase, but I've heard from a few of my veteran friends and it's nothing even close to how I feel. Such a BETRAYAL to OUR country & DEMOCRACY!

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.
