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).

I do think we've entered into an abrupt decline, but I don't think it's terminal, it's just the political will and political capital needed to reverse it is going to be tremendous.
There's a very bleak irony about how an administration that is all chest thumping "AMERICAN DECLINE IS OVER" is doing everything possible to hasten American decline

the basic rule for analysis of Trump is that your clever IR explanation is wrong and the stupidest, most petty explanation of his behavior is right
Trump: "To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. We don't need anything they have. As a state it would be one of the great states. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it."

Whatever one might think individually of Sheinbaum, Trudeau and Zelensky, it is clear that America has failed to learn the lesson of the last two centuries: imperial aggression rallies the subaltern to the flag.
