Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

DC churches rang their bells in support of protestors today.

We must keep those bells of freedom ringing.

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.

7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.

2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.
It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.
Was very proud to hear from my niece that Pahrump, NV turned out to protest! The small towns might not get notice, but they are standing up!!

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.
I hope she included the language - "and the body camera has to be accessible by court and/or other legal entities" - because otherwise, they'll just say, "we have it; we can't show it."

... and I expect it to be followed. If there are questions, we can talk about specifics on Monday. But I will say going forward on this case that when I ask the parties to do something, I expect that it gets done. I DON'T expect that people will think that what I say is merely a suggestion. 20/

JUDGE: I want language - even if the government doesn't want it - that is something the government can live with operationally. So i'm modifying the TRO. Again, this was not a suggestion. It wasn't a hint. It wasn't a topic of discussion. It was an order. So I will enter it today... 19/

JUDGE: I trust you'll do your best. Turning to the modification of the TRO. Maybe i was unclear yesterday. That wasn't a suggestion. So I'm modifying the TRO to include the use of body worn cameras. 17/

JUDGE: I just need somebody from ICE and CBP to tell me what is happening and has been happening over the last week since I issued this order. It doesn't have to be complicated. I just need some people here that can answer the questions I have as to how my order was disseminated. 8/

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror
