My twin and I celebrated the 20th anniversary of our full marathon by walking the 10k at the Baltimore Runnjng Festival because we are slow but not dead. Many No Kings people on the route. Very cool.

From the cheering crowds along the Baltimore Running Festival route to the rainbow flags of Annapolis Pride and the rallies that filled Towson streets, Maryland became a stage for the nationwide “No Kings" protests on Saturday.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

"No More Kings" was in the 1st episode of season 3 of Schoolhouse Rock
That season which coincided with the American bicentennial in 1976
2026 is the 250th Anniversary of US Independence
We must remind all of US what they fought for then

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
