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.

Mr Dudek was a lower ranking officer at the SSA when he was suspended by the Director earlier this year for sharing data with DOGE without authorization.

Then Trump fired the director and installed him.
BREAKING: Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek says he is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency.

Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

The 1st Amendment guarantees a right to free speech, not just speech you agree with. Mahmoud Khalil is a legal resident and deporting him because the admin doesn’t like what he said without any due process, is a blatant shredding of our Constitution. This is a dangerous precedent.

“This is like presidential campaign rallies, isn’t it? But I’m not running for president, and this is not a campaign,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told The Associated Press. “You gotta do what you gotta do. The country’s in trouble and I want to play my role.”
Drawing huge crowds, Bernie Sanders emerges as the leader of the anti-Trump resistance
At 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump's second presidency.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

This is really remarkable. A pardon attorney was told that Gibson was a personal friend of the President and she should recommend he be given his access to guns back. She didn't and was immediately fired.

They will fire lawyers who won't bless their cronyism.

This is true 👇
I'm usually the first to say that presidents receive way too much credit and blame for economic conditions that they have little power to control or influence in the short-term.

Not this time. This is 100% self-inflicted by the president and totally unnecessary.
