Glad I could help. It has been a dark day💙

I remember when I first heard @petebuttigieg.bsky.social It was a Town Hall on CNN in Austin, and I was on my feet cheering so loud the college boys upstairs banged on the floor.

I just listened to this interview and had that same feeling - a beacon in this storm. If you want to feel inspired…

Jacob, your reporting has been fantastic🙏
I wonder if you could track down Mike Johnson on the hill and show him videos of the arrests you’re covering. He said on camera today that he hasn’t seen any arrests that cross the line. Get him on camera and show him and ask what he think crosses the line

He said that on day one. He must have cycled through all the lame excuses he had and now he’s reusing them

I just went on Next Door. I live in a liberal neighborhood, or so I thought. A woman asked for suggestions for her sign for NO KINGS. The amount of shit people posted—over 250 responses. So many accusing her of TDS, as they cheered Trump. Such low understanding of issues and mostly young minorities!

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?

Give it to Alabama and let Coach Tommy Tuberville run it. 🤪

You wanna destroy the Olympics in one fell swoop—go ahead. Tarnish them the way he’s tarnished the Nobel. Everything Trump touches turns to Cheeto dust

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.

But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.

This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

I just want to be clear, people of faith, deep faith, are inspirational. People who wrap their hate in their faith are charlatans (good biblical word). Johnson is the worst kind of Christian.

We 💙 our country and will take to the streets to defend it. MAGA can’t even make it to work, apparently

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

You know who we won’t see? Fake, lying, twisted Christians…

It will be joyous.

If you 💙 America, see you there!

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"
