Over 15,000 people came out in Republican districts in Michigan and Wisconsin this weekend to say NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism, NO to Medicaid cuts, NO to huge tax breaks for billionaires. If we stand together we can defeat Trumpism.

The Marine Band invited young musicians of color to perform—until Trump’s executive order shut it down. But they refused to be silenced. With military band veterans stepping in, they played for a nation that needed to hear them. 🎥: 60 Minutes

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Musk is so arrogant that he is even intervening in a Supreme Court election right here in Wisconsin…if this guy can intervene in a Supreme Court election in one state, you tell me what mayor's race, what governor's race, what Senate race he cannot buy.”

The guys who wrote the Constitution were nobody's fools. They created a separation of powers so that one person could not amass enormous power. It should frighten EVERY American — conservatives and progressives — that we now have a president who doesn't respect the rule of law.

Thank you the 15,000 people who came out in Tempe, Arizona tonight for our Fighting Oligarchy tour. In fact, not only was the arena filled, but the overflow crowd was also at capacity. Americans will not hand their democracy over to authoritarianism.

So great to see all of you in Fort Bend! I’m sorry your Congressman won’t host a town hall, but I was honored to be invited to speak in his place.

Well, it wasn’t easy, but Trump did it. He ended the several hundred year friendship between the US and Canada — our neighbor and closest ally. Isolationism is a dumb idea, but going out of your way to get countries around the world to actually hate us is even stupider.

Our exotic underwater Xylaria continues to grow in our lab aquarium and it has moved into new wood. This little known foreign fungus (now in aquariums in the US) has the unusual ability to grow underwater - more information see: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
