"This is not all a buildup to say, 'I have seen the future of the Resistance, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.' (That said: Bruce, if you’re reading this. . .) But it’s clear that Americans depressed over Trump need inspiration to keep fighting."

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

NEW: First, diplomats warned what will happen if we halt aid to the rest of world. Now they are telling the Trump Administration what is actually happening: death, crime, sexual violence, trafficking. www.propublica.org/article/trum... @brettmurpsych.bsky.social & @annamaria.bsky.social:

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

I gotta say, U.S. titans of industry are looking more powerless every day. They’re really letting this guy come out and freestyle our economy at whim?

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner this week said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

Trump left West Point after his speech instead of staying to shake the hand of every graduating cadet, as is longstanding tradition. If Obama or Biden had done that, we would never the hear the end of it. But it's Trump, so reporters don't care.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

“I will end that war in 24 hours. I’ll stop all those lives from being lost. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be tough because I know just what to say to each of them. It may not even take 24 hours.”

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

Republicans and Trump are literally stealing food from children, healthcare from pregnant women, and long-term care from seniors. They then give that money to people who are already super rich. And a bunch did it while wearing a cross—let that sink in.

The most corrupt administration in American history by far, we are only 4 months in, and he hasn’t come close to the depths of depravity he is mining. But tune into CNN for updates on a dinner party in 2023 where Biden used the wrong fork.
