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.

Trump is angrier than usual. He just ranted that Schumer is "Palestinian," raged at Canada over tariffs and snapped at 3 reporters.
On the pod, @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is good on how tanking markets/sliding polls are rattling his faith in his bullshitting powers:

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.
We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

I want to talk for a moment about one thing Trump’s done that hasn’t gotten enough attention.
He signed an executive order that will make it more dangerous for women—in states where abortion is legal—to walk safely from their cars to the front door of an abortion clinic.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.
