What Comes After No Kings?

In our weekly chat, Steve Schmidt and I discuss:

* The growing pains in the coalition that has formed against Trump, including why clear-eyed Trump critics such as Andrew Sullivan refused to join the protests on Saturday

* Gavin Newsom’s wise decision to close a stretch of I-5 before the Marines, at the insistence of the Trump administration, fired live artillery over the highway, including one shell that detonated prematurely in mid-air and scattered shrapnel onto two California Highway Patrol vehicles that were part of JD Vance’s security detail

* Kristi Noem’s Gulfstreams

* Why I was driving around downtown Washington during the No Kings protests in a red pickup truck with a “Fire Pelosi” bumper sticker on the back (it’s not what it sounds like!)

* And, of course, the Toronto Blue Jays

Thank you Nadine Smith, Dianne Mize, Angie T, joe alter, Jacqueline Dorinda Maddox, and many others for tuning into our chat.
