Main lesson to unpack from Brasil and Serbia: turn up and vote for the only viable option against the regime. Here that means the Democrats. Talk to your neighbors, be a voting taxi for your elderly and disabled folks around you. It will take ALL of us. No exceptions. #DemVoice1 #VoteDemIN

The difference is staggering. Obama's speech feels like he's ready to take on another term (and oh how I wish it were possible) Trump's speech feels like nobody could be bothered enough to protect grampa, old & demented, from going on stage. This still the leader you want for your country, MAGA?

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

Gov. Shapiro delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's Iran war: “He had no idea why he was going in. Never made the case to the American people.” Shapiro points to 21 American families who have lost loved ones, skyrocketing fuel costs, and a $3,100 “CHAOS TAX” hitting Pennsylvania households.
