“Tonight, our republic is under attack, our Constitution is being tested, and the promises written into its preamble are under threat. In 28 days, Americans will decide what comes next. Do we rise to meet this moment, or is this the end?”

Tonight, I want to speak directly to every American who still believes in the promise of what this country can be. To everyone who loves this country and is scared of what we are watching happen to it...

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

Scoop: White House monitors suspected plague outbreak in Russia
Administration is "aware, monitoring the outbreak, and assessing options," an official told Axios.

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Russia says there was no lab accident and the situation is stable. Maybe. But when someone working at a plague research facility suddenly dies from mysterious pneumonia, possibly plague, and hospitals start locking down, “trust us, bro” isn’t going to cut it.
