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
