A lesson to us all? And to the others who think they can?
Bulgaria’s government resigned after massive anti-corruption protests. More than 100,000 people filled the streets in Sofia, with tens of thousands more nationwide, forcing the coalition to step down amid public fury over corruption. Gen Z led the charge.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

It may not seem like much compared to our overall population, but 7m is a lot of people. That day, ~4% of our voting age population demonstrated. In comparison, the demonstrations against the current government in Tbilisi, Georgia were 6.8% and those demonstrations continued for weeks.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Isn't it a BAD idea to get military leaders in one room while you are in a weak position? Just askin...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

So when we first showed up at the Union Station today, we ran ICE off as soon as we got here.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Wonder what's going on at Casa Vance today? Food fight?

A lot of people hate the Republicans because they are evil. A lot of those very same people hate the Democrats because the Democrats have been so ineffective in fighting evil.
A recent WSJ poll found Democrats’ popularity at its lowest point in 35 years, with 63 percent of voters holding an unfavorable view of the party. Maybe that's not because Trump is popular, but because Dems have to fight harder. ICYMI @lauren-egan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/chuck-schu...

The September government-shutdown deadline will show us how willing Democratic leaders are to take on Trump.

If you want to fight the masses that outnumber you, make them argue about which of the multiple fronts they should care about. Power diffusion by exploiting a weakness in focus and alignment.

The citizens of the USA are watching a new mini-series: "How to rob the wealth of the USA in broad daylight." The amount of episodes will be determined by the people.
