Driving back from a weekend away birthday trip for my teen twins and listening to a classic playlist. Edge of Seventeen comes on and even the teens in the backseat are singing along. Then I realized....they are both on the EDGE OF SEVENTEEN! 🤯

Greenberg: They spent the last week on the attack against no kings, smearing all of us as anti-american. They tried to scare us out of gathering today. I have got a question for you. Are we afraid?

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
