Great to be with you, Congressman - and it was inspiring to see the young people you've mobilized. With this level of organization, I think we'll see powerful results in November and beyond!

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

In all seriousness, Trump and Republicans are setting the stage right now to attack our democracy, steal our elections, and violently crush any dissent. Wake up, America.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Embarrassing. Embarrassing for him. Embarrassing for the legal profession. Embarrassing for the Justice Department. Embarrassing for his former law partners (who have been embarrassed more than they deserve lately). Embarrassing for his family. And embarrassing for the country.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Certain writers (*cough* NYT Opinion *cough*) overread the durability of illiberal nationalism and scoffed at pro-democracy appeals, but they only listened to each other, never allowing alternate opinions into their elite bubble. That left them unable to grasp everything from Hungary to Minneapolis.

I did not understand a word, and yet I'm ugly crying. Hungarians have withstood so much corruption and autocracy in the last 16 years. It was amazing to see them turn up in big numbers and send Orban packing.

Hungarians deserve every congratulations for giving Peter Magyar a bigger margin than Orban has ever gotten in all of his rigged elections - and this within the system that Orban rigged. Magyar now has a constitutional majority to undo Orban's constitutional prison and govern as a democratic leader.

Viktor Orbán created the global blueprint for authoritarian populism and became a MAGA hero. Today, Hungarian voters sent him packing after 16 years in power. There is nothing inevitable about these guys. Organize. Vote. Fight back. It works.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
