Sad thing is the media has allowed it to get to this point. They have bowed to him in every instance; even the recent “we stand by CNN” fell apart in record time.

Next Saturday will be the largest early vote activation in American history. No Kings Day is how we build historic turnout for the midterms and get our communities ready to organize against Trump’s election sabotage.

My question is why? Does Trump think the people who watch MSNow are going to see it and say, “I’ve been wrong about him. I’m voting GOP in November”? That said, I change the channel when they come on.

You may have seen Max Miller's new ad about me. The "recent charge" it mentions? A traffic citation. The people who know me best know Max's ads are lies. The people who know him best hold their breath when he has custody of his daughter.
