The radical left-wing terrorists are lining up for the #nokings march in Fort Worth. Crowd estimate: 8-10k. In the pouring rain. It was fantastic. Even soaking wet.

This is the best photo I’ve seen of No Kings Fort Worth in the pouring rain. I didn’t carry an umbrella on purpose. It was childlike and joyful to be dripping wet and not care. Soaked and not cold? Easy. Crowd estimate: 8-10k.

I’m calling for Colbert Unleashed through May 2026.

My father, born in 1924, served in the Marines during WWII. On July 4th mornings he would blast Sousa marches to wake us up.
He was a lifelong Republican. He would not recognize this GOP of Trump. Sousa marches are now my call to action to defend American democracy. @maddow.msnbc.com

My member of Congress,Craig Goldman,has deep family roots in the Jewish community in Fort Worth. He has just voted to fund concentration camps here in the USA, in 2025. To fund mass deportations of people because of the color of their skin. Shame. His unfathomable ambition has trumped his history.

It’s time for Democrats to go scorched earth on messaging. GOP: We don’t care if you die, or kids are hungry or the Earth is uninhabitable. MAGA rules!

When I think of the flimsy or faulty or flippant reasons I have heard over the decades for why someone dislikes this or that politician, or won’t vote for him/her, I wonder why all those people aren’t losing their minds right now. Hey, it’s your moment. Please seize it. Be 100% correct this time.

Stephen Miller is in charge. Trump has ceded control. It is horrifying. Both are sociopaths, but one is impaired. Unless we rise up, we are screwed.

What’s happening right now is why we designed my campaign logo like this in 2018. Because this is what was important to me. Then and now.

I know this is a bitter pill to swallow, if you, like me, grew up in a GOP family. In 2025 you can’t vote for ANY Republican, at ANY level. Our nation is in peril. They are either enablers or collaborators.

Social media is covering yesterday’s historic and unprecedented protests against the Trump regime much better than news media.
They are also complicit. Focus on the response of the people, not only Trump’s coup. @moveon.org @warren.senate.gov @maddow.msnbc.com @budkennedy.bsky.social

Trump/Musk/MAGA are ignoring the will of the people-at their own risk.
These are the two issues that could break through the Fox News propaganda that divides us.
