I’m thinking of travelling to Portland for No Kings and buying a costume.

Maybe Winnie the Pooh because there is only one FROG.

I can’t in good faith vote to pass a defense authorization when this President is using our brave men and women in uniform as his personal intimidation tool. My full statement here.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Shame them back under the rock they crawled out from, every single time. If you allow it, they will take that as proof that it's ok. It's not, and it never will be.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.

The President of the United States sold out America to Qatar cheaply, for the extremely low cost of ONE $400 million dollar jet and a $5 Billion golf resort, in exchange for it's very own military base in Idaho.

Congrats "America First" MAGA.
You got played.

Trump, Vance, and Hegseth openly use Botox, concealer, hairspray, bronzer, eyeliner, and makeup to express themselves.

While people may feel their choices challenge traditional norms, especially in front of the military, we should support their right to bend boundaries and live freely.

RFK Jr. purposely conflates causation with correlation to shape conversations.

Many variables are correlated—such as golf courses per capita and suicide rates.

But eliminating golf courses will not reduce suicides.
