Frankly, the vice president is holding back. She -- along Biden, Clinton, Obama and yes, even Bush -- knows how incredibly dangerous things are now. I understand why she feels reluctant to be blunt with Americans, but this was a missed opportunity.

I strongly suspect this is when Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act.

If you participate in #NoKings protests, please be very aware of anyone trying to incite violence.

Don't let them twist the narrative on legal, peaceful protests.

There are some good websites on how to protest safely, so please look them up. Stay informed and stay safe.

If Trump and GOP have their way this Saturday’s No king’s protest will be the last time we can legally protest.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Oh, look -- it's the Cabbage Patch rent boy, embarrassing himself as usual. (While trump's possible departure before '28 would be welcomed, this POS then takes over. Sadly, the nightmare will continue. This really, really, really sucks.)

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

The government has been shut down for nearly half a month.

Insurance costs are doubling for millions of families.

And you’re still trying to rewrite history on the first bipartisan vote to impeach a U.S. president?

Put down your phone and focus on ending the Trump shutdown.
