SEEING ALL OF THIS ENERGIZES ME 🗽 🇭🇺 🩵 🇷🇸 🫂 🇧🇷 🌊 This reminds me what all of that is for. What I'm fighting for, what we're all fighting for, is possible! Each one of us can make a difference. Thread 1/5🧵

The unfathomable corruption

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

NEW: A Black MAGA influencer who spent years promoting Trump and Republicans says she was KICKED OUT of a Ken Paxton rally at the request of his campaign manager. The visibly upset creator, who has over 200,000 TikTok followers, says she drove two hours to attend and has no idea why she was removed

JUST IN: Judge Reyes declines to step aside from the golf course case, saying DOJ's motion for her to recuse omitted context behind her fury — namely the administration's own conduct — as well as her repeated praise of DOJ's lawyers and arguments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In the seashells case, the FBI tried for a year to prove Comey was exposed to slang use of “86” to mean “kill” in Mafia cases. They found zero. Indicted anyway. Now a true expert says govt theory is “preposterous.” By me in @lawfaremedia.org www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

The Johnson recess situation is a real problem, and timing is key: the House can't pass Ukraine aid while it's out, and the Senate still has a vote pending. The clearer sign is that the fight over aid keeps getting pushed aside until the deadline passes.

Senator Mark Kelly Speaks Truth To Trump.......

Words have consequences and the only way to stop these fuckers from spreading their fake news and outrageous lies is to sue the shit out of them.

The United States of America is now under Putin's complete control… And… It will remain so until Trump leaves office. Now, go VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

Meta’s reason for the shut down was ‘high activity’. I would be willing to bet if it was a MAGA Rally or other GOP event the ‘high activity’ would not have triggered a four hour shut down. I call bullshit! www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

What an insane weekend. Trump lifts sanctions on Russia. Republicans revolt. Zelenskyy sounds the alarm. New questions emerge over Ukraine’s restricted Starshield access. A devastating new NBC poll for Trump. And a whole lot more. Whew! The weekend bulletin is here:

It’s amazing how angry MAGA is about today’s No Kings events, where people showed up and encouraged others to vote.

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

WELKER: Who do you think is to blame for the disruption to the Starlink and Starshield services? ZELENSKYY: Of course the message came from the American government WELKER: Has the system been fully restored? ZELENSKYY: No, no. We have limitations.

Baiting bears with doughnuts and bacon grease, then shooting them at close range. That’s what the Trump administration is bringing back to Alaska’s national preserves.

This is not okay. Trump’s administration is threatening “devastating” retaliation if European officials move forward with plans that could restrict Elon Musk’s Starlink access to parts of the European market.

Trump issues a "Complete and Total Endorsement" of Netanyahu, warning Israelis that if they elect anyone else, "America will have to do this work ourselves" in Iran. He calls Bibi an "even greater Partner for Peace" for waging the war with him.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

Quick reminder to my Russian fans: you won WW2 because America supplied you through lend lease You’re welcome

Shutting them up is exactly what the midterms are for.

WELKER: Do you believe Democrats should impeach President Trump should they take back the House? WARNOCK: Listen, Donald Trump is a crook. And he's gotta go. And the people who are enabling him, they all have to be held accountable.

[1/3] UPDATE: Blanche has finally filed his Notice of Compliance and states that he provided at 10:55 am ET today to Judge Sullivan a binder containing the "handwritten notes underlying the typewritten [FBI interview reports]" in marked-for-redaction form. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“THIS COULD EXPLODE.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling issues an alarming warning about the expanding conflict involving Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. “This could explode into a regional dynamic that will quickly spiral out of control.”

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

But, of course, Convicted Felon Donald Trump is looking for more ways to screw over the American people. How does a new golf course lower the cost of gas and groceries?

Watching Vance light his 2028 prospects on fire in real time is something

Protesters in Ocean Beach, San Fransisco made a human banner on No Kings Day today to encourage people to vote early for the most consequential midterm elections in US history. Beautiful.

Meta claims it was all a big whoopsie that No Kings organizers were locked out of their accounts as the protests began today

#NoKings From Broomfield Colorado where Diesel is $6.71

The bill is coming due. Nine of America’s most powerful law firms pledged nearly $1 BILLION in free legal work to causes favored by Trump rather than fight his executive orders. Now Congress wants answers. And as Katie Phang warns, those answers could soon come UNDER OATH.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

If you’re advising POTUS to declare martial law, or use other executive powers in an attempt to interfere with a lawful election that you’re expecting to lose, you’re a piece of shit human and an even worse American. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

WATCH LIVE: No Kings protests take over USA!!! 👉 www.youtube.com/live/Z3FjrpN...

Millions are marching while Trump hides in Palm Beach, waives his own Russia sanctions, threatens LA election workers with jail, and tries to boot the judge who caught him chopping 430 trees for a golf course. Today’s Saturday Update:

I’m seeing very little about the over 2,500 No Kings protests today.. more video is on Twitter but all comments on there are MAGA or bots. Has even Bluesky fallen? Depressing
