In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

@schumer.senate.gov yes we are. Now what are you going to do about it?
Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.”
Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.

Of course he’s trolling. It’s obvious he’s trolling. And yes, he’s probably trolling in an effort to distract. And also: it’s a major problem that a sitting “president” is trolling, and it should be called out because he’s deeply, deeply unwell.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement. Prosecutors have asked that she be banned from elected office for five years, which would mean she can't run for the presidency in 2027, for which she is currently the frontrunner.

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).
