If you love your country, join the millions of others this Saturday. It's time to put the tyrants on notice! America was established on a strict #NoKings policy, and we're not going back!

Indeed. Trump is stripping the country and selling it for parts. He literally couldn't care less what happens to any of us now, much less when he's gone.

Republicans view China as the biggest threat to America's future. And yet every single thing Trump is doing--tariffs, clean energy cuts, weakening NATO--is driving the rest of the world, including former allies, straight into China's arms. It's beyond short-term thinking; it's suicidal.

This is a crucial time in determining global power for the remainder of this century. Trump is guaranteeing that long after he is gone, America will be left weakened and isolated on the global stage. And Republicans in Congress are doing nothing while they watch it happen.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?

Negotiating a budget deal? No.

Preventing premiums from doubling? No.

Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.

He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

America first?

The Trump administration lied about what's happening in Chicago and Portland. Now they're lying about NoKings rallies this Saturday. It's almost as if they realize if Americans find out the truth of what is actually going on, the entire Trump scam regime will come crashing down.

MMW: Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in the new Representative from Arizona because she's the final vote to compel the release of the Epstein tapes. Meanwhile Trump is going to pardon Epstein's child trafficking partner Ghislaine Maxwell, in return for her lying about Trump's Epstein history.

"Miller slipped up because even he knows it is an outrageous thing for Trump to claim absolute, unreviewable power to send active-duty military troops into American cities based only on his delusions."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

Selling children for sexual abuse is just fine if you're Ghislaine Maxwell and you sold the children to Donald Trump, who now has trouble remembering your name, but makes sure you get all the special favors in your luxury suite in Bryan Prison!

Ghislaine Maxwell Keeps Getting Special Treatment

The prison she is in was locked down so she could receive visitors. Were they discussing a presidential pardon?

When Trump pardons the pimp who trafficked children to be raped by his best friend who he bragged about sharing "special secrets" with, every person in America will understand exactly what Trump did with Epstein, and that includes every Republican in Congress looking the other way.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 6h

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”
