Today was a great day.

#NoKings gave us all a much-needed boost.

But don’t stop there.

Now we focus on what’s next:

17 days of getting out the vote in every election across the country, especially in CA, VA, NJ, PA, and GA.

Rallies don’t mean much if they don’t help us win elections!

So proud of Benzie!!! We had about 1,000 - yes, you read that right - show up yesterday to peacefully and joyfully show their love for this Country. There were flags, inflatable T-Rex skeletons, and just so, so many people happy to be there. The support from drivers made a joyful noise, too!

We STILL do not want to have any kings or tyrants in this country! Speak up. Stand up. Show up. Oct. 18 in Benzonia, Michigan.

A crown with an X across it next to text about the Oct. 18 No Kings protest in Benzonia, Michigan. The peaceful protest is from 2-3:30 p.m. starting at the Post Office or across the street at the old Township office. It reminds people to obey the marshal and to not cross 31.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

ICYMI: Trump told U.S. top military officials that we’re "under invasion from within" and it was time to turn the armed forces inward. A senior defense analyst said these remarks were concerning because they were directed at those most likely to stand in his way.

We outraised every single candidate in this race without a DIME from corporate PACs.

How? YOU.

Every dot on this map is someone who believes in what we’re building — and the latest polling shows I’m the *strongest* Democrat to beat Rogers.

Let’s do this, Michigan 💪

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.
