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.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

I was just a kid but remember it like yesterday. We were approx. on the half way line and when we got the winner it was precisely like someone violently turning the balance on an old fashioned stereo from left to right as the celebrating United fans instantly went silent and Gooners went mad! 😃🔴⚪️💪🏼

Maybe. Hopefully. But one thing is for certain - it’s a bloody disgrace America!! 😤🇦🇺

Does anyone else remember another number 14 who couldn’t hit a barn door in his early games for us? He eventually got into a decent run of form for a while. Tranquilo everyone 😉

The fact that he even needs to say this is a national disgrace, let alone all the other even worse issues and implications of BB’s booking for SB 2026 😰

‼️ This is a very dangerous situation.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

This nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe.

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has been under Russian occupation since March 2022, has been disconnected from the power supply for more than a week⤵️
