/

Of the 2,500 No Kings gatherings across America, few were more saturated in American history—in flags and historical costumes—than the one on the Battle Green in Lexington, where the Minutemen fought another king 250 years ago.

George Santos Leaves Prison After Trump Commutes Sentence

/

Perhaps the most notable thing about President Donald Trump’s Friday decision to commute the prison sentence of former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) is how unsurprising it is.

Portland’s Inflatable Costumes Deflate Trump’s Narrative

/

It’s much more difficult, in fact, well nigh impossible, to call Portland, Oregon, a war zone when ICE agents are forced to stare down an inflatable bunny rabbit.
