Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

A sad day yesterday, as I cleaned out my NEH office and signed my paperwork. The projects I’ve been fortunate enough to work on for the past 16 years benefited scholars, colleges and universities, libraries, archives, museums, and communities in ways too numerable to count.

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).

Trump has no clue what he’s saying at any moment and is literally and constantly just responding to anything that happens with what he’s feeling at the moment — and yet this is what we, and the world, have to deal with right now. This is really not sustainable.
