Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

@jonrauch.bsky.social: “Understanding patrimonialism is essential to defeating it. In particular, it has a fatal weakness that Democrats and Trump’s other opponents should make their primary and relentless line of attack.”

Donald Trump’s "contempt for government employees is not driven by some sort of noble, reformist instinct: He distrusts public service because he does not understand it," Tom Nichols writes.
Trump and Musk Are Destroying the Basics of a Healthy Democracy
An apolitical bureaucracy run by public servants who respect the law is one of the greatest achievements a society can attain—and these two men have no respect for it.

I can think of at least eight federal laws that have been broken by Musk and his goons over the last few days, and at least two provisions of the U.S. Constitution.
They must be stopped.
