We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Trump is angrier than usual. He just ranted that Schumer is "Palestinian," raged at Canada over tariffs and snapped at 3 reporters. On the pod, @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is good on how tanking markets/sliding polls are rattling his faith in his bullshitting powers: newrepublic.com/article/1926...

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.  We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

I want to talk for a moment about one thing Trump’s done that hasn’t gotten enough attention. He signed an executive order that will make it more dangerous for women—in states where abortion is legal—to walk safely from their cars to the front door of an abortion clinic.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
