He has a point. I can't remember a SecDef inviting a reporter to their classified Signal chat either.
KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?
JOHNSON: I reject the premise
KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out
JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

one of my friends took her 5-year-old kid to the protests with her today and I think she made my favorite sign, which simply reads - and I quote - "NO No No NO NO NO"

Reminds me of the "they're weird" line, and the GOP tripping over themselves to demonstrate how normal they are
One cool thing about the No Kings branding is that it's negatively polarizing Trump and his supporters into just saying out loud that they want him to be king
David Sacks is currently posting AI content of Trump as a king and Dems kneeling if you were wondering where his brain is at

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline
Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants
