A Montana judge has temporarily blocked the state's bathroom ban targeting trans adults in airports, colleges, and more.

He ruled that the state showed no evidence bathroom bans protect women.

Wild idea... even visitors to the United States should be able to have freedom of speech without being disappeared and locked away.

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).

Trump claims he didn’t sign the proclamation used to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — but his signature is right there in the Federal Register. So… who is signing these things? And is that even legal? And did he sign any of these executive orders either?

@aoc.bsky.social is right: Throwing trans kids under the bus isn’t just wrong — it’s a losing strategy.
