Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

Ashli Babbitt would be alive if today if she hadn’t listened to Trump’s election denialism lies.
If anyone should be paying Babbitt’s family $30M it should be Trump himself, not taxpayers.

Q: "Are you considering tariff relief for small businesses?"
Trump: "Why do you always mention, you know, a couple of little businesses. What about the car business?"

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

We were there. It felt like more than 34K, but that's still a great number. I especially appreciated her shout-out to Diana DeGette and the rest of the Colorado Dems in Congress.
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).

Nonetheless, holy shit.
What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

It's amazing how much the same people who mocked pre-eminent scientists during COVID are now blindly following a ketamine-fueled hustler and the teenage DOGE dorks.

Johnson: "Elon's cracked the code. He's now inside these agencies. He's created these algorithms that are constantly crawling through the data & as he told me in his office, data doesn't lie. We're gonna be able to get the information. We're gonna be able to transform the way federal govt works."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.
But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Musk called MAGA "contemptible fools" yesterday. And here I thought CF stood for "convicted felon." It's interesting to see the Trump camp devolve into a cannibalizing cluster f*, but it's hard to keep track of acronyms these days.
