There should be more people talking about this. Is it too late? I don't know. But America has to do something!

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Good one. But wait. What about the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Elf on the Shelf and Leprechauns?

Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.

People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🀯.

America, we have a problem!

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.

Thurmond’s record for longest floor speechΒ (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.

That’s America.

Every Democratic Senator should be doing what @booker.senate.gov is doing right now, back-to-back, nonstop.

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).

Two people disrespected the United States in the Oval Office today: President Trump and Vice President Vance.

One person spoke in the best of American tradition: President Zelensky.

The United States is on fire. Where are the former presidents speaking out? Where are the democrats, who aren't on book tours, why does it feel like nobody is DOING ANYTHING??!!
If anything can be done, I don't know.
