Not sure what prompted it, but the riot line had retreated back toward the ICE facility. Broadview PD who stuck around won't say what happened to the person detained - who, btw, was vomiting. They're no longer in the lot where they were detained.

Today in Kent, Ohio. Yes, THAT Kent.

A psycho Trumper charged into the No Kings rally, throwing punches, assaulted a woman. He was armed. The crowd tackled him.

I considered going to Kent for the protest. It's an hour drive for me. Went to downtown Cleveland instead.

Federal agencies:

Yes we can find a way to open new social media accounts during a furlough.

No we cannot find a way to acknowledge your FOIA request.

Me on Trump pardoning disgraced former congressman George Santos:

"It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

Murphy: You guys can handle the truth, right ? You guys deserve the truth, right ? The truth is that Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Main body of the march is now snaking along Wacker, adjacent to the Chicago River and across from Trump Tower. The head of the march, a couple thousand people west, is headed south down Clark toward the Daley Center.

The march is finally picking up some momentum. Thousands of people are now heading into the Loop.

March *slowly* stepping off as press scrum is still effectively a living speed bump. Large crowds lining both sides of Jackson as the march tries to head west into the Loop.

Pritzker's here. Right in the middle of the crowd carrying the lead banner. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton too.

Event staff getting pissed at media who won't clear out from the march route as everyone gets their obligatory Pritzker shots.

Thousands of people gathered in Grant Park for No Kings speeches at the Petrillo stage. Not gonna try to guess how many zeros on that number right now.

Should have said No Kings *rally* is a in full swing. The march proper is still waiting to step off from the corner of Columbus and Jackson into the Loop. Electeds speaking at the nearby Petrillo stage.
