Saturday is already set to be the biggest No Kings Day yet — and like the last two, we’re expecting a massive increase in interest this week. Chip in if you can to help us vet new events, provide safety and security trainings and support protests around the nation: secure.actblue.com/donate/nokin...
(a graph showing the event totals from No Kings 1 in June 2025 [1,400 events], No Kings 2 in October 2025 [2,096 events], and No Kings 3 in March 2026 [3,000 events]) WE’RE CURRENTLY AT 3,000 NO KINGS EVENTS AND COUNTING!

Interesting things happen in those Trump emails to supporters
Alt text: Screenshot of a Trump political donation email page with a checkbox next to large red warning text urging supporters to “keep this box checked to SUPPORT MAGA in this DO-OR-DIE BATTLE.” Beneath the message, smaller gray text states that keeping the box checked will “Donate an additional $2,500 automatically on 12/31,” highlighting an automatic extra charge tied to the checkbox.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

ICE is soon to become the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in US history, with more money than the federal prison system, the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration combined. Here's what that will logistically look like.

This is not Fallujah, Iraq. It’s a Walmart parking lot in LA. Look at how many heavily armed, masked men (on our dime btw) come for a young guy in a Walmart uniform. This is obscene. www.instagram.com/reel/DLF3bV5...
