It’s just incredible this isn’t the way everyone talks about him
Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."
She's 103 and a WWII Navy veteran and she's been a civic activist since the 60s. Thanks mom.
Our president is a child.
Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.

Mike Johnson’s Bible apparently has Jesus encouraging lying as often as possible as the pathway to heaven. Must be a Trump Bible.
Agree. We're still a long way away from these protests having a dramatic impact. But there's also no denying that things are trending in the right direction. I remember that the Vietnam protests took years to become large and impactful.

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!

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.
Millions across all 50 US states march in No Kings protests against Trump
Crowds of Americans, many in costumes, aligned behind message that US is sliding into authoritarianism

Donald Trump keeps posting images of him as a king and the legacy media ignores it as if it is normal. It is not. It is dangerous.

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.

This is shameful (and ignorant).
🥴🤡Trump envoy Witkoff pressed the Ukrainian delegation on handing over Donetsk region to Russia during a meeting on Friday, - WP.

He used the Kremlin's key argument that the region is predominantly Russian-speaking.

The latest AP-NORC poll had Trump at 37% approval, but, sure, lean into Trump-is-King. Good idea.

MAGA really doesn't know how to think about anything except to take the opposite position of their enemies, real or perceived.
Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.
Something feels creepy here...

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

This is disgusting, goes against every principle this Republic has stood for since Washington by pushing political partisanship to active duty military on a weekly basis, & is what authoritarians do. It is why so many turned out today. Republicans in Congress are complicit. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Vance: Trump wanted me to tell each and every one of you despite the Schumer shutdown, he will do everything he can to make sure you get paid exactly as you deserve. Democrats seem to want to keep the government shutdown even though it would mean a lot if you would not get your paycheck
That's her with the Trump Must Go sign.
Mom is 103 years old and at the No Kings rally in her home town in Michigan. She also protests every Tuesday at noon outside her Congressman's office. Need some inspiration? Let's get out there. @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

If Adelita Grijalva was a Republican, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago to the office she was elected to.

If she wasn’t the deciding signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago.

All his bs excuses are lies.
