Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.

The decision came a day after the prosecutors requested a 27-month sentence for the man, who they said in court documents was among the “mob of rioters” that stormed the Capitol in an effort to overturn President Trump’s 2020 election loss.

Kinzinger: There is an intense cost to that. You see that cost laid out in this film, and it shows why, when people say, “Why don’t other Republicans speak out?” — this brings home that there is a cost to doing so. And we need to, frankly, elect and hire people who are willing to do tough things

Let’s face it, the fake President is having strokes and his dementia is in the next stage. His left side of the body is not moving properly, so it’s obviously the right side of his brain. Just look at the recent footage of him walking in front of Japan’s troops and more recently speaking to ours.

Mirror cells sure sound like a great way to exterminate all life on Earth. Let's pray this research stops, as if COVID-19 killed 1.5 million Americans largely due to Trump, Trump 2.0—with that psychopath Kennedy in tow—would easily let 300+ million Americans die if a mirror-cell bioweapon got loose.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

Seven million. “One of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in US history.”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 18, 2025
Media Contact: media@nokings.org
Nearly 7 Million Attend Overwhelmingly Peaceful No Kings Day of Action
WASHINGTON, DC - In one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, nearly seven million Americans gathered today, 2 million more than June, in over 2,700 cities and towns for the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action, standing together in nonviolent defiance of authoritarianism and affirming that this nation belongs to its people, not to kings.
With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, today's mobilization was 14 times larger than both of President Trump's presidential inaugurations combined, marking a historic moment of unity and resistance. From rural communities to major metropolitan centers, the message was clear: America will not be ruled by fear, force, or one man's power grab.
While the Republican-led government shutdown continues to wreak havoc, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to go without pay and cutting off critical services, the people they represent are stepping up to lead. Across districts, neighbors are organizing, marching, and demanding a government that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Our work continues in big cities and small towns around this country and we will not back down to President Trump's continued abuse of power. There will be regular opportunities in the coming days and weeks to take action with No Kings and we will be regularly sharing community rights resources.
In response to this historic day of action, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statements:
*Today, millions of Americans stood together to reject authoritarianism and remind the world that our democracy belongs to the people, not to one man's ambition," said Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, Co-Founders, Indivisible. "Authoritarians want us to believe resistance is futile, but every person who turned out today proved the opposite. This movement isn't about a single…

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.
White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
