Republicans can mock the No Kings protests all the want, but the reality is it just grew from 6 million to 8 million people in a few months. 3,300 rallies in all 50 states, many in suburbs and small towns.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. A record 36 are retiring early. Donald Trump is sitting around 40% approval at best, closer to the low 30s by some measures.
When a president is under 50%, their party historically loses an average of 34 seats in Congress. Democrats only need a handful of seats. The energy is real and it is growing.
You lying piece of shit cocksucker. Don't you lousy scumbags get tired of posting stupid shit like this all of the time? Do you?
This from Elon's Grok Ai.......
Short answer: No — that claim is not reliable. It’s a misleading social-media meme built from unrelated numbers.
Here’s what’s going on:
🔎 1) The “source” is not credible evidence
The post you quoted traces back to social media (e.g., posts attributed to Anna Paulina Luna / “realannapaulina”), not to audited financial records, IRS filings, or verified reporting.
The same figures appear copied across Facebook, Instagram, and X posts
There is no primary document showing a combined “$294M” budget for “No Kings”
That alone is a red flag.
🔎 2) The numbers are likely misused foundation totals
Fact-check discussions note that these spreadsheets:
Mix multi-year grants
Combine different organizations
Include funding unrelated to the protest itself
In other words, they’re not “payments for protests” — they’re general philanthropic spending repackaged as one total
🔎 3) What is actually documented
There is some real, but much smaller and indirect funding:
Open Society Foundations gave grants (millions, not hundreds of millions) to groups like Indivisible
Example cited: about $3 million over two years to Indivisible
Over several years, total grants to that group were in the single-digit millions, not tens or hundreds of millions
That’s a huge difference from the viral claim.
🔎 4) The math claim itself is sloppy
The post says:
“$294,487,641 MILLION”
That wording is internally inconsistent:
If taken literally, that would mean $294 trillion, which clearly isn’t what they intended
It signals the numbers weren’t carefully compiled
🧠 Bottom line
❌ No evidence that “No Kings” protests were funded with ~$294 million
❌ The listed donors/amounts are not verified as direct protest funding
✅ Some activist groups involved have received normal foundation grants in the millions, not hundreds of millions
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%.
That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher.
YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Republicans could literally fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard right now.
But once again, they’re choosing Donald Trump over the American people.
Absolutely shameful.
There's not a doubt in my mind Jack Smith would've put Trump in prison where he belongs. We now know Trump stole classified documents that pertained to his business interests. In a scathing letter to Pam Bondi, Rep. Jamie Raskin wrote:
"These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests. This glimpse into the trove of evidence behind the coverup reveals a President of the United States who may have sold out our national security to enrich himself."
Kash Patel could never be the qualified, diligent, and stable FBI Director that Robert Mueller was.
I won’t let Director Mueller’s memory be tainted by a vengeful President and his loyalist lackey.
Donald Trump launched an illegal war with no endgame — and Americans are paying for it at the pump and with their lives. That's not leadership. That's malpractice.
Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.
This week, I met with parents of trans youth to hear about the suffering they & their kids are enduring under this administration’s cruel attack on trans children.
Put simply, leave our children alone! I will always stand with trans & non-binary youth.
I'm here in DC, demanding my Republican colleagues fund TSA.
It's unacceptable that our TSA workers are being held hostage because Republicans refuse to work with us to rein in ICE.
We're going to keep fighting to pay the workers who provide critical services every day.
