Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Peter Thiel’s lecture series on the Antichrist was a not-so-subtle effort to defend his project to end liberal democracy as the dominant global paradigm—a sales pitch for the “Dark Enlightenment.”

The message:
“Welcome to God. Now delete yourself.”

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

Children aren't born racists.
They're raised to be racists.

By parents who believe skin color defines a person's worth.
By Republicans who spread hate & racism.
By right wing media who glorify guns & violence.

From the vault: Mike Johnson said he’d take a blowtorch to the ACA.

Here’s the thing… 45% of marketplace enrollees are Republicans. Cool! So he’s threatening to burn the GOP’s own base. 🔥

Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina but not for struggling Americans.

Here are the 7 wars he should end:

•War on healthcare
•War on farmers
•War on the economy
•War on the middle class
•War on ACA protections
•War on immigrants
•War on voters

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
