No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Pete Hegseth announced an agreement today to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at a U.S. Air Force Base in Idaho.

Reminder: Earlier this year, the Trump admin accepted a Boeing 747 jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family.

Somebody, whether it’s an independent individual or a group or the DNC, should take this story and make sure it gets to every media outlet and podcast around. Sadistic Gestapo thugs.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

A President who uses the shutdown to target "Democrat (sic) programs" for cuts is one who ignores the needs of the American people.

These programs are clean energy jobs, vital infrastructure, and essential health care funding in red and blue districts alike.

Stop punishing the American people.

Today my dad (86 yo) with Parkinson’s chocked on his lunch and stopped breathing. I tried to get him breathing but no luck. EMS came in and intubated him even m though he is DNR/DNI because I didn’t have the papers.

Mike Lawler, are you really defending an indictment brought by an unqualified political hack after Trump directed the AG to charge his political enemy?

You support using the criminal justice system for political revenge?

You want to stake reelection on this abomination?

“America First” means:
•$20B to Argentina to screw American farmers
•$38B to Israel for genocide
•$??B to Qatar for new Air Force base in Idaho

Meanwhile—US Service members stand in food lines because Trump’s government shutdown has them furloughed without pay. So much winning!

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.

Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...
