25th Amendment NOW
Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

That was EXACTLY my thought.
This victory speech from Zohran Mamdani is the most profound Dem speech of its kind since Obama at the DNC in 2004.

Yeah. I’m sleeping with one eye open tonight.
Now the last time we showed this much gusto was the No Kings rally last month and right afterwards Trump torn down one third of the White House and cut off SNAP to 42 million people.
Wonder what psycho diaper pants will do after tonight?

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target!
