No Kings. We don’t need his ballroom, his gilded Oval Office, his golden flying albatross. 50th & Broadway—packed crowd all the way down to 14th St/Union Square. It’s got to be over a million people as covered more blocks than on New Year’s Eve and took 3 hours to walk it. Peaceful. #NoKings

@ezralevin.bsky.social Looking forward to massive No Kings 2 turnout, but concerned numbers will be severely underreported again and diminish impact. Last time in NYC, no estimates exceeded 50k and that is absurd. @washingtonpost.com was lazy and inaccurate. I chastised and calculated 500k-900k:

Pitch perfect statement ala Joe Biden. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com noted Biden negotiated 1st ceasefire in Nov 2023, securing release of 105 hostages. In last days of his admin, 3 more released in deal crossing over to Trump and 27 immediately released and now the final 20 released. #Gaza

A good day as remaining 20 hostages are released, but much to be worked out to deliver on peace. NYT Live Updates: Hostages and Palestinian Prisoners Are Freed as Trump Hails ‘Historic Dawn’ in Mideast. Gift link:

PORTLAND IS NOT BURNING TO THE GROUND, as Liar-In-Chief says. Judge: “This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs…this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”

Trump’s Dangerous Response to the Kirk Assassination
Rather than condemning violence and calling for unity, the president of the United States accused his political opposition of being accessories to murder.

Russia sends drones into Poland, a NATO ally, with no provocation. Poland shoots many of them down. Let’s be clear. This NEVER happened during the presidency of Joe Biden (or any other US President). Putin is testing Trump, violating NATO airspace. #Putinspuppet

NATO downs Russian drones over Poland after 'unprecedented' aggression
Military officials in Poland say the country's airspace was "repeatedly violated by drone-type objects" in the overnight hours amid Russian strikes on targets in Ukraine.

6 months into Donald Trump's 2nd term, Joe Biden set a jobs record—only President who never presided over a month of job losses. Biden Job Boom: 4 yrs, 16 mil new jobs, avg 333k/mo. Trump Job Slump: June loss -13k, July +79k, Aug +22k, 8-mo avg 85k.

Apparently the makeup man couldn’t get through the National Guard and police barriers around DC..so the 2pm press conference hasn’t happened yet. Nothing says respect like keeping the American people waiting for the next grand decree that violates the Constitution.

One of the best speeches I’ve seen by a Governor. Well worth 15 minutes of time. Illinois @GovPritzker tells Trump: "Do not come to Chicago" The real tell is Trump never called Gov or Mayor to offer genuine help. Pritzker had to find out in the news.

Alligators can reclaim their land in 60 days. One small step for justice to get profiled people, arrested without cause, out of harsh and inhumane treatment by the man that wants a Nobel peace prize.

So sorry Donald Trump will have to swap Mar-a-Lago for a good piece of Siberian gulag. But it’s a sacrifice worth making to end the war he couldn’t end in 24 hours. I hear the swamp is already drained and there’s no deep state. It’s a perfect spot for a new Trump golf resort, and no snide Scots

Donald Trump, Gov Abbott and Republicans in Texas legislature know they can only win if they cheat with extreme gerrymandering. They want to take 5 seats held by Democrats now and flush them into redrawn MAGA districts because Trump policies are so bad the US House of Reps will flip to Dems in 2026.

Jeffries: "These extremists want to be able to choose their voters as opposed to allowing the Texas voters to choose the people who should be privileged to represent them in Washington. It's theft. That's what gerrymandering in its extreme form is."

Today @nealkatyal.bsky.social is arguing the tariffs case against President Trump's Executive Order. Tariffs are a tax on consumers and if you are wondering how #TrumpTariffs violate the Constitution, George Will lays it out in an easy to understand way in @washingtonpost.com

Opinion | This tariff court case could rein in the rampant Trump presidency
Trump is a hare, and the federal courts are a tortoise. We know how that fable turned out.

This is not about anti-semitism. It’s a pretext to quell free speech in the future on any issue and submit institutions of higher learning to political whims of a corrupt administration. Disgusted.

Bookmark this article so you can remind yourself how Donald Trump and Republicans lied to you. They promised no cuts to Medicaid and your healthcare. At least 17 million Americans will lose health insurance under Trump plan. And no more ACA subsidies.

At least 17 million Americans would lose insurance under Trump plan
GOP legislation would set back years of progress in expanding health care coverage, unwinding key parts of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

As a @UVA grad, I am disgusted by interference of @POTUS, the Trump Admin, @GovernorVA Youngkin, and the politically appointed Board of Visitors forcing resignation of a good, highly-respected President, Jim Ryan. Slimy purpose, no benefit to education.
