I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself.

The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

Gov. Spanberger: "In his farewell address, George Washington warned us about the possibility of 'cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men' rising to power. But he also encouraged us, all Americans, to unite in a common cause to move this nation forward."

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II

Yes, you read that correctly

What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people

And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens

Trump won Midland County by 60 points.

But our campaign showed up because we’re not writing off any voter.

It was standing room only.

certainly makes me feel less than enthused about the US hockey team but I continue to hold that Kash treating the FBI director job as an extended make-a-wish trip is the absolute least damaging thing he could do with the position given this administration's goals

No, ICE isn’t β€˜retreating.’ It’s loading up to invade your town. | Will Bunch A much-hyped ICE pullback from Minneapolis is a blip in a looming nationwide surge of arrests, concentration camps.

MPLS was a great moral and practical victory for a new Trump-era resistance, but it was only the end of the beginning

15,000 new masked goons. 150 new ICE offices in every state, and a national network of warehouse concentration camps

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. β€” This should shake everyone to their core.
