After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Image of Cory Booker's speaking, and the following text:

April 1, 2025: Flickers seen! 

β€’	Cory Booker gives an impassioned, impossibly long address to the Senate saying "This is America's moral moment". It is watched by many, many millions.

β€’	Susan Crawford wins (by 10 points) the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat against the allied advocacy of Musk and Trump, the massive spending of the world's richest man, and likely illegal attempts to bribe voters. Voters of Wisconsin would not be swayed. Trump won WI by less than a point, so this is an 11 point swing.

β€’	In FL1, in November, Dem Valimont lost by 32 points, but in yesterday's special election she lost by just 14.6 points, a 17 point swing.

β€’	In FL6, in November, Repub Waltz won by 33 points, but in yesterday's special election Repub Fine won by only 14 points, a 19 point swing.

As Booker says "The Power of the People is always greater than the people in power."

Saturday, April 5, can be the moment when the people can turn these flickers into flames of resistance by just showing up and using their voices!

Jeffries: "It was a terrible week. So what happens on Sunday? Trump says, intentionally, 'I'm serious about running for a third term.' He can't run for a third term! ... why does he say it? ... to distract from the terrible week that they've had. We're not gonna take the bait."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, β€œOh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love thatβ€”I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.
