Trump promised he’d be a dictator on “day one.” On day 84, he’s defying the Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia and floating the idea of deporting U.S. citizens to other torture prisons controlled by foreign dictators.

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

Pete Buttigieg says Dems don’t need a Joe Rogan of their own—and he’s right. The left wins by connecting through facts, empathy, and policy, not by chasing clicks or mimicking outrage. Real engagement doesn’t come from shock jocks—it comes from showing up and delivering change.

“Buttigieg nails it: Democrats aren’t just behind on what we say—they’re behind on where we say it. While the right floods podcasts, YouTube, and TikTok, too much of the left stays in echo chambers. It’s time to meet voters where they are—not just where we’re comfortable.”

Buttigieg lays it out: transforming America for the better means bold vision and the guts to walk away from what’s failed—even if it’s familiar. It also means standing firm for what works, even when it’s unpopular. The stakes are too high for half-measures or nostalgia politics.

“Bernie’s win in California was massive,” says Mike Bonin. “But it didn’t leave a lasting mark.” The progressive surge that once rocked the state has stalled—big crowds, bold ideas, but little long-term change. The challenge now? Turning a moment into a movement that sticks.

After his LA rally, Sanders told POLITICO: “It’s not me. It is millions of people who are angry.” He insists the movement is bigger than his name—but says setbacks in places like California show just how strong the forces against real change still are. The fight’s far from over.

“The opposition to Medicare for All is massive,” Sanders said. “These oligarchs have enormous power. Our job is to build a movement they can’t ignore—a movement they can’t refuse. We’re going to win.” Classic Bernie: clear-eyed about the fight, unwavering in the goal.

It’s sad that the election talking points are all trade, trade, trade and not human rights and mitigation of climate change, housing homeless folks, and reconciliation with Indigenous folks. And it seems nothing will move this needle.
