We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.
They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies.
Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

Democrats would probably benefit from long-term investment in community organizing. But that’s not “ground game” and it’s not something a campaign can do. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Column | The Harris campaign’s ground game was not the problem

Trump has loaded his cabinet with men credibly accused of sexual assault.
So, naturally, the media, with MAGA’s guidance, is focused on… whether one trans woman should be allowed to use a bathroom.
The American press never fails to fail covering this guy and his sexually deviant posse.

Marco Rubio, Trump’s Secretary of State pick, explicitly said yesterday that he would NOT call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Great job to all the protest voters who snubbed Harris over Israel - you guys are really playing 6D chess here.
