Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
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 Bernieβs career (and obviously, mine too).
I think disappearing people who are here legally because the state disagreed with their speech is Bad but I donβt have a law degree so what do I know

one thing that's worth pointing out about the current wave of constituent fury at Republican town halls: the reason you're primarily seeing those viral moments in ruby red districts is because every Republican whose district is even remotely competitive is actively hiding from their constituents

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump.
And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room.
