This story has all the elements of a perfect Trump vignette:
- takes a trophy he didn’t win
- hangs around for applause he didn’t earn
- thinks he can “Gulf of America” the NFL out of existence with an EO.

Really interesting to see the mental gymnastics in MAGA world around Voter ID vs. REAL ID.
It’s almost as if “papers, please” is something that should only apply to “other people”.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

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).

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
