Trump Plays Emperor While Families Struggle
If there’s one thing Trump loves more than gaudy gold toilets, it’s playing emperor. You can see it in the way he violates some countries’ sovereignty and threatens to do the same to others.
Domestically we aren’t spared either, as he sends masked men to invade American cities — which yesterday led to the tragic and entirely preventable killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota at the hands of ICE stormtroopers. All while voters, even the ones who elected this administration, are asking for one thing: humane leadership that helps them make ends meet.
That kind of leadership does not happen by accident. It is built by candidates who are prepared, disciplined, and ready to run.
Join us this Monday at 7 pm ET for our Three Steps to Establishing Your Campaign live training and start your journey toward the better leadership we all deserve.

Republicans finally got what they wanted — and killed Big Bird for those who can’t afford cable. Maybe if they had watched more Mr. Rogers growing up they wouldn’t be so craven.
