Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

On Friday, ICE unlawfully deported an American child with cancer.
The four-year-old was sent out of the country without medication, according to reports.
This is the second time the Trump regime has deported a U.S. citizen child with cancer.
The cruelty is staggering.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
