The 'No Kings' protest is quintessentially 'WE LOVE AMERICA AND WE WANT TO PRESERVE OUR DEMOCRACY". We see corrupt Trump's gross abuse of power & we are unafraid to call it out. Rs in Congress give into Trump's authoritarian power grab. Why? To stay in power & enrich themselves.

GOP tries to brand anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ protests as un-American

Ahead of the more than 2,600 rallies planned for Saturday across the country, Republican officials have sought to cast the protests against the president’s policies as “hate America” rallies.

Marine Corps Col resigns citing concern for America's future under Trump. In his recent address to the military, bone spurs Trump actually said that 'after decades of military campaigns abroad, it was time to turn the armed forces inwards against an unspecified “enemy from within.”

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump

I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
