Really American

In his latest impersonation of a petty mobster, Trump threatens to take away the World Cup games from Boston, and even the Olympics from Los Angeles, to whomever doesn't bend the knee to him.

Shameful vindictiveness.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.
