Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more

And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits

Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million

It’s just so lawless

Demanding the Justice Department pay him $230 million?

Yes, President Trump really can do that thanks to John Roberts.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts

Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 21h

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

Mike Johnson keeps saying that Democrats hate America

But I can’t think of anything more hateful to our country than refusing to swear in a duly elected representative to protect a pedophile or his president pal

Adelita Grijalva MUST be sworn in

Is there even a 1% chance that Trump will accept the results of a 2028 election if a Dem wins, & will not attempt to turn this country completely upside down in Nov-Dec 28, employing every means available to prevent that person from taking office?
That’s the reason for No Kings.

While Trump turns our democracy into a dictatorship, Merkley's standing tall and saying what millions of us feel:

The GOP-led Congress has been out of session for too long. The House is not shut down. They’re getting paid and should be working.

A tweet from Tim Walz reads: “18,000 Minnesota federal employees are facing unemployment while you’re sitting on your ass. Get back to Washington.” It quotes a tweet from Pete Stauber that says: “No better way to end a beautiful weekend in Northern Minnesota!” with an attached photo showing a cozy outdoor fire pit surrounded by chairs, wood stacks, and string lights at sunset.
