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.

Popok: Why did they choose No Kings Day for a “routine training exercise” in a state where his leading political critic is the governor?

Bonta: They’re doing what they always do—trying to intimidate. It would be humiliating for the president—and shameful and embarrassing if he were capable of shame

Kashing them in their lies.

A tweet from Liam Nissan says: “You sure about that?” It includes a photo of a lavish bathroom with marble counters and a chandelier, filled with stacks of boxes labeled as documents. Below, a tweet from “FBI Director Kash Patel” reads: “Anyone who threatens our national security will be held accountable,” alongside a screenshot of a news article about John Bolton being indicted for mishandling classified documents.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

It’s crazy that there’s such a base level of criminality now things like this didn’t even merit much outrage at all.

…and Santos is small change compared to the other pardons:

Trump Pardoned Him. Now He Won't Have to Pay Back $660 Million

Trevor Milton and his wife donated $1.8 million to Trump in 2024.

Republicans in charge of Congress have abdicated all responsibility for governing the nation to Trump. There are no checks. There are no balances. No Kings.

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

Why would they do this now—when the news that Bessent is giving $40 billion to Argentina to ostensibly help bail out a pal—and DT is sharing details of his opulent ballroom? You can’t help but get the impression they aren’t worried about winning over voters ever again.
