Around the country, millions protested–at least seven million, perhaps eight million, among them Chamber colleagues Sam Hoyt 
and John Maggiore in Buffalo, Time magazine colleague Ken 
Smith in Minnesota, Spy colleague Elissa Schappell in Catskill NY, EW colleague Cable Neuhaus in Palm Beach FL, my cousin Tim King in Tulsa, Sara Halliwell in Vermont, Anne Knop in Elkins Park PA, and my friend 
Paul Lindstrom in Ossining NY. Also representing were Spy colleagues Julie Milhaly (Poughkeepsie), Carol Vinzant (Times Square), and Gina Duclayan (Toronto, in a No Tyrants march!) Meanwhile, Trump responded by pretending to be a King Jet Pilot, and dumping shit on us. David Graham in The Atlantic: “The protests also remind Republicans in Congress who want to win reelection in 2026 that binding themselves to Trump could be a losing choice. Maybe that’s why these protests seem to be getting under the White House’s skin so much. Trump largely shrugged off the June marches, but this weekend he lashed out in ways that seemed determined to prove the protesters’ point. He threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to send troops to San Francisco, saying he has “unquestioned power” to do so. (He does not.) He also posted a bizarre animated video in which he flies in a fighter jet labeled “King Trump,” wearing a crown—not beating the rap!—and dumping excrement on protesters. And the vice presidency might not be worth “a warm bucket of piss,” as one previous holder said, but surely J. D. Vance has better things to do than beef online with a 23-year-old Democratic influencer. Trump and his allies seem to grasp what Saturday revealed: The protests are popular, and the president is not.”
