Trump appears to be in mental decline, and his days of marshaling a winning electoral coalition may be waning - not to mention that he won't be around forever. What happens when there's no Trump to rally MAGA?

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

🚨IRS, FBI, Federal Marshals, MPD, DEA, ICE, HLS, and ATF here to “investigate” this woman. Suspicious for being black? The regime has made their white supremacism clear. The time for us to reject it is NOW!

Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die.

And what did Republicans do?
They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

ANTIFA - means anti-fascist. It's an ideology not an organization which is being challenged by right-wing fascists across the globe.
Rise up!!! 💥💥💥

Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina but not for struggling Americans.

Here are the 7 wars he should end:

•War on healthcare
•War on farmers
•War on the economy
•War on the middle class
•War on ACA protections
•War on immigrants
•War on voters

🖐🏼 I’ll be there to root on the saving of democracy, the rule of law, the right to protest, the abolishing of ICE, to call out the #GOP racists, misogynists & homophobes. & because the GOP is chock full of flat-out liars & grifters & I want them gone.
But mostly because ❤️🤍💙

I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability.

Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

3 weeks after her overwhelming victory, Speaker Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva and give 800k Arizonans the representation they deserve.

Why? To deny the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.

The GOP is choosing to protect pedophiles over accountability.

The GOP shut down the government. They’re driving up health care costs and refuse to negotiate.

Now Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social because it would force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Swear her in, now!

🚨BREAKING: Arizona AG Kris Mayes warns she’ll sue Speaker Mike Johnson if he doesn’t seat Adelita Grijalva —It’s the final signature to force a full house vote. Justice must be served for the victims. No more excuses. No more cover-ups. Swear her in now. The TRUTH demands it.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.
