Bill Kristol: "We do ultimately depend on the common sense and common courage of the people. “No Kings” is an expression of protest. But it is also an affirmation of responsibility. We the people ordained and established our free government. It’s up to us to keep it."

It’s Getting Worse.

The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

I'm told that more people showed up in Times Square in NYC today to not celebrate Trump than they did on New Year's Eve to celebrate the new year.

I am so glad that our American friends are vocally aware of what is happening with Prince Andrew - and of the significance that this may have regarding what happens next with the Epstein files.

Note that this is "A Statement by Prince Andrew" not a "A Statement by Andrew." He's not shedding that title. Just "The Duke of York," which was an honorary from mum.

So it's all a slap on the wrist for raping girls. He gets to keep the money, gets to keep being a Prince, and stays out of jail.

🚨 IDF whistleblower EXPOSES that aid from 1,000 trucks was BURIED in pits or burned.

The IDF dug pits and buried or burned the aid and then they blamed Hamas!

Just let that sink in.

Austria has dropped its objections allowing the EU’s 19th Russia sanctions package to go ahead.

Austria drops objections, paves way for EU’s 19th Russia sanctions package

Vienna had previously held up the sanctions over a demand that the EU compensate Austria’s Raiffeisen Bank International for losses inflicted by Russian penalties.

About time. Better to invest in sanctions now than have Russian tanks knocking on your door later.
