Would love to see unedited photos of #NOKINGS 1.0 and 2.0 for comparison of crowd size. 2026 Mid-terms can’t get here fast enough.

The only decision to make regarding what I am doing on Saturday is picking the shirt/slogan I wear. The options are endless and they each hold so much weight in truth that I am struggling to decide. #nokings

Missouri 💙 Where Are You??? Good Trouble
Red states always find the budget when it’s to silence voices…

Proudly canceled Disney, Hulu, and ESPN. And no I won’t be coming back if they reinstate Jimmy Kimmel. Damage done. You can’t unbend the knee.

Took my $30 and now contributing monthly to my local PBS. Feels damn good to take a stand. Even a small one such as this.

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

NAVARRO: “No tariffs, no tax cut… So are tariffs price hikes, or tax cuts? I say they’re tax cuts.”🤔

CNBC HOST: “ (LONG AWKWARD PAUSE) — many economists would say they’re tax HIKES.”

NAVARRO: 🤷🏼‍♂️ “Mosts economists don’t agree with us.”

Incredible stuff.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if all nominees declined this “honor”? Well done Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise was offered the Kennedy honors by Donald Trump but declined because of 'scheduling conflicts'

He's not currently filming any movies

Wow — REPUBLICAN Rep. Thomas Massie points out the hypocrisy of Republicans crying foul about Texas Dems leaving to stop Trump from stealing 5 seats in Congress as Speaker Johnson and the GOP flee Washington to help Trump cover up the Epstein files.

I spoke at an Empty Seat Townhall for Congressman Sam Graves in Marceline, Missouri, population 2K.

Sam hasn’t met with constituents since 2012. He’s been in DC for 24 years. This group would like to send him home.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Agreed. ⬇️ Feels like hope
I don’t think non-USians understand the significance of Cardinals from all over the world selecting a US American pope, especially someone who was close to Francis.

It’s meant to be a direct rebuke to the current US administration, not another US grasp at power.

Cardinal Robert Prevost made his first speech as Pope Leo XIV on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, shortly after being elected pontiff. This is a transcript of the speech, translated from its original Italian.

No, President Trump: Less traffic at our ports means less work for the men and women who run them, like the thousands of Marylanders who power the Port of Baltimore.

That's not a good thing. These tariffs will tear apart our economy and hurt our communities — and it's entirely Trump-inflicted.
REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

Serious question how do I expand my feed to include other topics besides politics? While I LOVE that I have found my tribe here it is all I am seeing and I need a break at times. It is as depressing as it gets. Are there other starter packs for other topics?

Is it me or has the tone changed? Do I sense a hint of vulnerability? It begs “why can’t I have what I want”. Cracks forming?
