BREAKING
NEWS
Speaker Mike Johnson
blames No Kings for the continued shut down.
Says it's a "hate America rally" for "the pro-Hamas wing" and
"the antifa people."
50501

Washington, D.C. - Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson blamed the peaceful No Kings Day of Action on October 18 for the ongoing government shutdown. After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement:
"Speaker Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of reopening the government, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he's attacking millions of Americans who are peacefully coming together to say that America belongs to its people, not to kings.
"We'll see everyone on
October 18."
All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety.
Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions

#unionsquare October 7, 2025 The most responses were on the Stephen Miller side of the poster. New Yorkers really do not like this guy. Multiple photos taken and several long conversations about what is going on and watch out NYC we may be next. Shit will hit the fan. We will resist. NYC!

#unionsquare #chicago #mayorbrandonjohnson Oct 8, 2025 Cold, rainy, but got to speak up. Chicago today. Where tomorrow? Where else will a red state invade uninvited, another state? When will the courts do their job?
Never forget EPSTEIN! Mr. Tiny Dick doesn't want us to ask.

So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments?

Cool, cool. Cool.

A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

#unionsquare Oct 6, 2025 a ballroom 90,000 sq ft designed in the style of Louis XIV of France -- Twice the size of our White House.
Oval Office smothered with gold making a Royal Chamber? No! Looks like a BORDELLO (whore house). Next? A golden throne for the would be King. WTF.

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

bangs.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

Any university that signs Trump’s unconstitutional contract should be stripped of accreditation immediately. Education is supposed to protect free thought, not bow to politics. If they sell out to this nonsense, boycott them.

Trump - Hey farmers, I'm going to bail you out of the mess I created BUT you're crops won't sell again to China, I've tripled your health insurance, and your closest hospitals are closing soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
