Great News To Start The Week That’s Terrible For Trump and Musk

Onward!

It’s Monday, which means Trump’s back from another weekend vacation at his golf course, ready to implement whatever senseless orders Elon Musk has for him. So I’m glad to have more good news for you today. Thanks for taking the time to read this—let's get the week started!

On Sunday news shows, Dems absolutely slammed Trump. Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared on ABC’s This Week, saying: “There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?”

Warren also went on CNN’s State of the Union, calling on the House and Senate to strip Trump of his tariff powers: “Congress has a job right now, and that is to step up and take this authority away from Donald Trump.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Cory Booker was on NBC’s Meet The Press, where he condemned Trump’s wrongful deportations, saying: “This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets.”

Later, Booker joined a town hall in Tucson, AZ, with Dem Sen. Mark Kelly and former Dem Rep. Gabby Giffords. At least 800 fired-up people attended, including a large number of Republicans. Kelly said: “One thing we're hearing loud and clear at tonight's town hall is how much Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hurting Arizonans.” We “are going to keep fighting to hold them accountable,” Kelly stated.

And hundreds showed up in Ohio for a 2-hour-long empty-chair town hall, to call out GOP Rep. Bob Latta. A life-sized cardboard cutout of Latta stood in the background for the whole event.

On top of the town halls, Sen. Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella on Saturday night. When he brought up Trump’s name, the entire festival erupted in boos. Sanders responded by saying: “I agree.”

Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders continued their “Fight Oligarchy” tour in Salt Lake City, UT, on Sunday. They easily filled a 15,000-seat arena, with another 5,000 people in the overflow area. Not only did they address the crowd inside, they also took time to speak to those in the overflow.

With loud chants of “tax the rich!” and thunderous applause for folks shown on the Jumbotron wearing “f**k Trump” t-shirts, the energy was once again electric.

Before the keynote speakers came on, professional ski mountaineer and former Senate candidate Caroline Gleich took the mic, leading chants of “our public lands are not for sale!” and “our democracy is not for sale!”

But there was one part of Gleich’s speech that really stood out to me—when she explained what the American dream means to her. Gleich said: “If you work hard you should be able to breathe clean air … see a doctor … afford a home … and you should be able to retire with dignity.” It really is that simple, and the demented Trump regime is against all of this.

AOC’s speech ignited the crowd, as she received thunderous applause and a number of standing ovations—especially when she said: “It looks like living wages, Utah. It looks like stable housing, Utah. It looks like guaranteed healthcare, Salt Lake City. And it looks like respect for all of our differences, no matter who we are or where we come from.”

“We do have power in this moment,” AOC stated. All of us do. You do. And every day people do. And it will never be just institutions and officials alone that uphold our democracy. It will always be the people, the masses—who refuse to comply with authoritarian regimes—who are the last and strongest defense of our country and our freedoms.”

We are the people AOC is talking about. We are the ones who have the power to help turn this all around. And not let Trump’s tyranny drag us down to where he wants us to be.

That’s why we speak out via our daily news briefs—cutting through the Trump regime’s lies and propaganda, while powerfully resisting their unconstitutional mayhem.

With one of the largest social media followings in politics, and one of the biggest contact Congress campaigns, we’re all in on defending Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

But in order to keep doing what we do—and expand—we need all hands on deck.
