All of this, in violation of the Constitution.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Supreme Court's reactionary cadre poised to eviscerate Voting Rights Act's Section 2, greenlighting GOP maps that obliterate Black districts under partisan pretexts, cementing autocratic hegemony in Dixie. #VotingRights

No Kings is a day to celebrate your love for America, your horror over Trump’s America and your belief in self-governance and the need to end authoritarian rule.

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 21h

The Trump Republicans want to gaslight that No Kings is a hate America rally? I’d say it’s a day for celebration.

That SCOTUS would do this was a known known. It is probably too late now. What have Democrats been waiting for?

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

A $20 box of KN95s can keep you and your family off of GoFundMe trying to pass around a collection plate to pay for your $75,000 ventilator that your insurance doesn’t cover and the weeklong hospital stay that will bankrupt your entire family

Good afternoon to everyone but especially Janai Nelson, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, who argued her heart out today in an effort to stop the Supreme Court from destroying the Voting Rights Act.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.

But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.

This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

SCOTUS looks ready to erase another key piece of the Voting Rights Act, this time by striking down Louisiana’s Black-majority district for “relying too much on race.” Let me translate…they’re opening the door for states to erase Black and Latino districts that usually vote blue.
