Do not miss the opportunity to see the play American Five at Ford’s Theatre. The story of MLK & his four friends as they draft his seminal I Have a Dream speech. It was SPECTACULAR. Amusing, intriguing, a superb history lesson and heartwarming. I loved it. @FordsTheatreNPS

BREAKING: Dallas, deep red, oil-soaked, and MAGA-aligned is now flooded with anti-Trump protesters. A city once thought untouchable has joined the rebellion. The tide is turning.

It’s pretty insane that DOGE is already voluntarily lowering its guidance by -97% and it’s not even Easter yet. One of the biggest failures in political history. And it was *so* obvious both ex ante and ex post.

The signs were incredible…
Scenes from today’s “Hands Off!” protest in DC. Tens of thousands rallied on the National Mall to vent frustration at Trump and Musk. The signs railed against kings and fascists and warned against the erosion of democracy. https://t.co/e245xPOkUR
