Well, I only used the free version until today .... now will not use it at all. Many podcasts are also streaming on other platforms, worth digging to find you content elsewhere.

Thank you to the BBC for doing a great piece on the protests yesterday. "But critics warn some of the moves by his administration are unconstitutional and a threat to American democracy." #NoKingsDay #50501 #50501movement www.bbc.com/news/article...

Millions join anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests across US

The demonstrations against the US president - which Republicans had called "hate-America rallies" - were boisterous but peaceful.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Peaceful protests in Roseville and Lincoln California today. Looking like 3000-4000 showed up in Roseville, a few hundred in Lincoln. Wonderful to be there and see the support out on foot and in cars honking along. #NoKingsDay #50501protests

During a shutdown, people like TSA workers and troops don’t get paid. But do you know who does? The president still gets paid. Members of Congress still get paid. It’s wrong. That’s why, as soon as the Republicans shut down the government, I put my salary on hold.

A win! A federal judge has granted Chicago and the State of Illinois a restraining order against the Trump administration, blocking the deployment of the National Guard in Illinois.

I planted via "seed roulette" in part of my garden this year; all the old opened seed packets tossed into two planters. Fun! 🌱 #gardenSky

NEW: Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates.

Those dates have come and gone.

They’re still stuck here.

“I don’t want to be here anymore… What am I supposed to do?”

Trump wants them to self deport. They want to self deport. But many Venezuelans cannot leave … like this woman who told me she now plans to try to turn herself into ICE to get out of USA.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

Fresh portobello & cheese ravioli with creamy butternut squash sauce made with garden-fresh squash. With garden-fresh sage fried in browned butter as a crispy garnish. Sauce; browned butter, crimini mushrooms, squash, 1/2 & 1/2, nutmeg, S&P, minced garlic, freshly grated parmesan. Super! #food 🍜
