We’re proud to announce, today’s turnout has already surpassed the Hands Off protest! Over 5.5m people and counting across the U.S. Get out there, be seen, and be counted. This is history in the making. Take plenty of photos and videos and post them publicly. Let the world see what’s happening.

RFK Jr rejects medical science “proving” smoking causes lung cancer; claiming that the Soro’s funded “Lib-tards” fabricated the story to exact revenge on the conservative tobacco business.

Despicable.
The Trump administration has removed environmental protections covering more than half of the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the president’s aim to significantly bolster the U.S. logging industry.

FANTASTIC NEWS: Susan Crawford has officially won her race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, allowing liberals to maintain their narrow majority. This was a hugely embarrassing defeat for Elon Musk, who spent millions of dollars to oppose her.

I have to post again...THANK YOU, Sen. Booker! You make NJ proud!
Strom Thurmond, racist Senator from SC, has held the Senate record since 1957 for his 24 hr & 18 minute objection to the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
It is beyond fitting that @booker.senate.gov may break that record today in opposition to yet more racism & illegal gov activities.

Nothing would make me happier than to see President Obama back in the White House!
I realize this is a race to the bottom, but if Trump can have a third term, so can Obama, right?

People are now referring to Pete Hegseth as “WhiskiLeaks” and I’m kinda miffed that I didn’t think of it first.

Ok, so what are we gonna do about it?!
Analysis by Aaron Blake: In more than a dozen cases — and in three major rulings this week alone — a federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration either has violated the law or has probably done so.
The total works out to one such finding about every four days.
