CNN solemnly headlined: "October 18 2025: ‘No Kings’ protests".
The well-funded but lame and certainly non-newsworthy nationwide photo ops were of little interest to most but fill the news air waves including on Fox.

Commenters said Vance's post earned the crown for creativity on "No Kings" day:Best weekend ever on Bluesky.
