1,400 Protests Scheduled To Rain On Trump’s Authoritarian Birthday Parade and More Bad News For Him
Biggest day of protests yet planned for Trump’s birthday, Joni Ernst doubles down on her inhumanity, and more
Before we start another week of Trump’s burning dumpster fire on wheels disguised as a clown car, I'm happy have another edition of Great News for you. Let’s get to it.
The next big round of protests is set for June 14th—Trump’s birthday—with more than 1,400 events scheduled nationwide. As you may have heard, Trump plans to celebrate his birthday by throwing an authoritarian military parade in DC, which could cost upwards of $45 million.
It’s shaping up to be the largest day of protests this year—by far. So if you’re able, please show up to these peaceful gatherings and speak out against Trump’s tyranny. If you can’t make it, please promote the events on social media, and do what you can to help spread the word.
This weekend, demonstrations continued in at least a dozen cities against Avelo Airlines, calling out their contract with ICE to facilitate “deportations.” Any company profiting off of the Trump regime should be driven into bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Democrats are hosting large town halls, while the few Republicans who do end up regretting it. Yesterday, Dem Rep. Yassamin Ansari co-hosted a “Tell Me How You Really Feel Town Hall” in GOP Rep. David Schweikert’s district in Phoenix, AZ.
Ansari has been relentlessly calling out Schweikert, especially after missing the Trump ugly budget vote because he slept through it. That is not a joke. He literally said he was asleep during the vote.
I didn’t think it was possible, but somehow GOP Sen. Joni Ernst managed to make things even worse—following her terrible town hall response to Medicaid cuts, saying: “Well, we all are going to die.”
Following public outrage over the gross comment, Ernst released a sarcastic apology video—filmed in a cemetery. In the video, Ernst snidely belittles her constituents, saying she thought folks already knew we “are all going to perish from this Earth.”
Ernst continued by saying she was glad she didn’t “have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well.” First of all, it’s just not funny. And the tooth fairy? What?
This is the clown show Trump’s cult puts on to try and distract from the fact they’re stealing our healthcare. But we can’t let that happen. We must press on and do everything legally possible to stop this garbage bill from passing—because stopping it, will save lives.
Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin went on MSNBC and didn’t hold back on his criticism of the Trump regime: “This is a gangster state … It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people.”
That’s why we work so hard to cut through the lies and deliver the truth.

Remember when the GOP claimed Democrats wanted "death panels" after the ACA was passed? The GOP picked up a LOT of seats in that midterm.
Democrats should now advertise the "real death panels" and show those clips of Ernst!
Activate America has 2 postcard campaigns (www.activateamerica.vote/postcards) for Iowa currently. These postcards are directed at IA-01 and IA-03 house districts and asks the recipients to call their GOP representative about Trump Tarriffs - I assume because of the impact of tariffs on farmers. But the fact that AA thinks these districts are worth a postcard campaign indicates they think these Republicans are vulnerable.
As I posted yesterday, ActBle has nominee funds where your donation will go to the Democrats who eventually will be running for these seats. A pot of money might convince a Democrat or two to get into the race. And as we all know uncontested seats are an automatic win!!
