Donald's babysitters must have been *extra-busy* today keeping that thin-skinned toddler from seeing pics of all the thousands of people throughout America taking to streets to say they are OVER Trump and Musk and the chaos/destruction they bring.

I kind of want to go

Kamala Harris: There were many things that we knew would happen.. I’m not here to say I told you so

MASSIVE SHIFT Pro-democracy channels on YouTube are now growing faster than right-wing channels for the first time. MeidasTouch is proud to lead the way as the fastest-growing YouTube channel in Q1 2025. Keep this momentum going: YouTube.com/@meidastouch

This administration of Keystone Cops.

Anyone who thinks Pete Hegseth will resign doesn't understand TrumpWorld. They have no shame. They have no introspection. They have no respect for consequences.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism
