Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

I’m not sure going full MAGA, which Stefanik chose to do a few years ago as a calculated and cynical move to advance her political career, was the smartest way to set yourself up for a statewide run in NY.

YouTube video by Tod Maffin 50 States, 1 Verdict.

Every U.S. state wants to be part of Canada now, so I’m reviewing their applications.

Fifty states, one verdict per state.

Some get approved, some get roasted, and all get the full Canadian treatment.

Powerful words from Rick Steves today in Edmonds, WA: A community coming together to stand for decency, dignity, and democracy. No matter your party, these are values worth defending. Let’s keep showing up.

To hear my take on the state of our democracy, check out my half-hour talk from Saturday here: drive.google.com/file/d/1ewaK.... (Thank you for the video, Natalie Rahn-Lane — and thanks for the photo, Kurt Kutay!)

"THIS IS...PATRIOTISM" graphic.

Many Americans suspect our nation is on the verge of becoming a dictatorship — and across the land, we are coming together to defend our democracy. In my hometown, more than a thousand of us rallied together for the second time this past Saturday. As I said to my neighbors, “This isn’t liberal versus conservative or Democrat versus Republican. (God-willing, a time for that healthy political discourse will come later.) This is more fundamental than that: It’s freedom versus autocracy. This isn’t America-bashing…it’s patriotism. People from across the political spectrum are waking up to our national emergency, and it’s time for blue and red to stand together for democracy. And that’s why I wear my purple shirt!”

Portland OR Hands Off Rally

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING
#handsoff

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

This is Salt Lake City, Utah. Amazing turnout for #HandsOff rally in a deep red state.

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

What an absolutely incredible sight in New York City today.

The people are awake. The people are angry. And the people are organized. 📍 Chicago, Illinois #HANDSOFF

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Presidents “accept downturns in year one of their presidency. It is a free pass, they blame the previous president and take credit for the recovery ..”
