I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity?

If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?
