There will be more than 2,000 'No Kings' rallies across the country this weekend-but so far- not getting a lot of coverage. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/the-media-...
The media is largely ignoring the trauma of millions. Here's why.
Plus: Watch George Stephanopolous pushes JD Vance with follow-up questions, cringe at Bari Weiss's pep talk to CBS journalists; and more

Not funny how Trump apparently helped end a war in Israel, but keeps starting wars in the U.S. Hardly behavior for a peace prize of any kind.....

ICE - I guess it’s ICE; can’t tell because masks - is shoving around, assaulting and detaining American citizens on public streets, and police aren’t stopping it, and Republicans aren’t saying a word about it.

I asked MAGA Bondi the “what became of the money” and the “did he declare it” questions, and she couldn’t/wouldn't answer.

Simple fact questions, protected by no privilege. Smells like another cover-up.

Republicans are allowing health care premiums to double for Americans already struggling to afford coverage — and now they're trying to distract us.
