I'll be speaking at the San Diego #NoKings rally in Waterfront Park in a few minutes. Thousands of people are here, just across from the North Island Naval Air Station.
We're #NoKings, down the road is “Pro Kings". Secretary of War Hegseth will be at Camp Pendleton with JD “Beardo" Vance.

By endorsing Trump, #RFKJr has endorsed everything he ever fought against. Trump won the election by removing voters of color. Bobby was a voting rights advocate. How could he stand there next to that man who is mass challenging voters? gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/bobby-kenn...

S’about time Trump went after hate speech, like this ugly statement: “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole...or that he's America's Hitler.” This hater’s name is JD Vance. Someone should call this guy’s boss and have him fired!

Let's rename the damn thing, "Gulf of Epstein.” Trump calls it, "Gulf of America,” as if we'd like to claim ownership of a cesspool of oil-covered shrimp on the Redneck Riviera where the good old boys are dying of hydrocarbon poisoning, lack of health insurance and their own misguided racism. 🤠🛢️🌴🦈

Democracy — granting the vote to every dickwad, MAGA-naut, crypto-Nazi and cryptocurrency grifter — is a terrible method for choosing our leaders. Maybe it’s time to turn over these choices to G.O.D., that is the GenerativeAI Overseer of Democracy...

These parades are not meant to scare our enemies, they're meant to intimidate us. That's why dictators have them. They're telling their own people what's going to come down on them if they cause trouble. It's not about showing off our military power to the world. It's a very clear point aimed at us.

Now we can finally get those jobs at the Home Depot parking lot. My son was just laid off as a programmer because of AI. But I told him, don't worry, just go to Home Depot and get a stellar job because Trump eliminated competition from immigrants. As Trump warned us, I'm so sick of winning.

I was motivated to write this by Donald Trump’s sickening PR stunt at a US Steel plant in Pennsylvania last week. He’s not the first president to use steelworkers as a prop, but the first to do so while economically spitting in their faces.
