Columbia, South Carolina had a great turnout yesterday for the second #NoKings rally. The first sign makes sense once you know that we call our city ColaTown, although some insist on Soda City. Either way no ice, please

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.
By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Standing up now is not radical. To speak out, to march and to demand accountability is not defiance; it’s what Americans do when they see a wrong being committed.

Opinion | The GOP’s coordinated attack on the No Kings rally is ridiculous
The Republican talking points are out of touch with the reality of Saturday's protests.

The truth is from my perspective as a former first responder to disasters and terroristic events, that Trump just lacks the capacity to care about other humans or he just lacked the understanding to grasp the importance of emergency management and Public Health protocols.
Yet again, Trump has punished people for telling the truth.
Trump suspended FEMA workers who warned of the devastation that his cuts to federal disaster response & mitigation efforts will cause.
I stand with our brave FEMA workers fighting to keep us prepared & protected.

Breaking News: FEMA suspended about 30 employees who had told Congress that the Trump administration had gutted the nation’s emergency preparedness.

When the crops rot in the fields unpicked and there's another "needlessly induced Trump supply chain shortage," people will go hungry, and possibly have even more dire outcomes.
Bet Stephen Miller’s phone is drowning in spittle.
Remarkable: Vulnerable House Republicans are quietly urging Trump to refocus deportations away from noncriminal migrants and only target criminals.
With Trump admitted deportations hurt farmers, Rs know this is becoming a big problem for them. 1/

Donald Trump just posted a bizarre video of himself hitting a golf ball into Bruce Springsteen.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed what we already know — the Republican budget will hurt working families while it helps the rich get even richer.
We need a budget that works for ALL Americans, not just Trump's billionaire donors.

The Congressional Republicans' Big Budget of BS is morally failing Women, Children, and Families.
Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and Planned Parenthood for billionaires' tax cuts punish hardworking Americans.
Fight Back! Petition Congress against these cuts now.
