We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

I'm old enough to remember laughing and rolling my eyes when people used to compare Boris Johnson to Trump

Speaker Johnson, you say you’re a man of God and I believed you. You put your hand on the Bible, you swore an oath- now keep your word to God and country and swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, the Democrat from my home state of Arizona!

One retiree said he chose to wave an American flag instead of a sign “because people who carry the flag do not hate America and as you can see there are a lot of flags.”

WE ARE TAKING BACK THE FLAG 🇺🇸

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

Then they fight you: How the No Kings protests are winning America | Will Bunch

A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

I agree. Amazon music also is running these. If you have ad free they will run them if you stream your local radio station which we do often. The hardest will be getting young people to cancel Spotify.. if we can do that it will hurt them for sure!

The ICE ads running on Spotify, “some of which specifically target disgruntled police officers in major cities such as Chicago or Seattle, offer recruits a $50,000 signing bonus, generous benefits and even student loan forgiveness.”

Official count estimates are up - before it was "nearly 7m" then it was "roughly 7m" now it is officially "more than 7m." Trend is up!

We have to keep remembering this is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!! What an embarrassment to the country and the world!

of course they are and Trump will let them. This was always about him getting the Nobel Peace prize. Once that didn't happen he stopped caring.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

🇺🇸 One of the things that gave me great heart (among many) during Saturday's No Kings rallies was the number of American flags that were flying.
Because WE, not them, represent the ideals that the United States was founded upon.
It's about damn time the REAL patriots finally recaptured the flag ...

BASH: Santos pleaded guilty to defrauding constituents of hundreds of thousands of dollars, money he will no longer be required to pay back. Is the commutation acceptable to you?

BRITT: What I appreciate is President Trump's commitment to the American people. We saw disarray under President Biden.
