Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

One of my favorite photos of the Obama era, in the East Wing.

As one commenter said:

"Obama. Dog. Running. Love. Everything the Felon hates."

No wonder he destroyed it 💔

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Watching part of the White House come
down feels like watching a piece of our
story disappear. The East Wing has always
stood for service, grace, and possibility
things no one can demolish. You can tear
down walls, but you can’t erase history.

BREAKING: The top federal prosecutor in Maryland has reportedly notified Pam Bondi that she sees no basis for Indicting Adam Schiff on mortgage fraud.

Who wants to bet that the prosecutor will be fired within days, and a new prosecutor will seek to indict Schiff regardless?

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

If the legacy media's coverage of #NoKings disappointed, get you a pro-democracy publication that covered protests from DC to Florida to Texas to Portland, and capped off the day with a 2-hour live event
