Rocked! Trump losing in court as AOC dunks, voters revolt, markets slide, Tesla crashes

and here is America right now the Democrats more outspoken leaders Sanders and Accaziocortez leading a Nevada rally today dubbed fighting the oligarchy pushing a more aggressive approach to the other side of America you also see on your screen President Trump promoting an executive action rather than working with Congress on passing actual legislation or long-term policy he claims that what you see him signing there will start a process to close the education department we have more on that coming up but the rally as you can see in the line here drew over 50,000 RSVPs the Democratic

rally for organizers here's more of that line we're all here together because we share in the frustration and the heartache that comes from watching those in power actively tear down or refuse to fight for everyday working Americans like us and we are here together because an extreme concentration of power and corruption is taking over this country like never before but we are also here today because we know that a better world is possible [Applause] this country faces enormous crises and how we respond to these crises today will impact not only our lives but the lives

of our kids future generations and in terms of climate change the very well-being of the planet we are witnessing an oligarchy in America and that is when those with the most economic political and technological power destroy the public good to enrich themselves while millions of Americans pay the price today we are here to say very loudly and clearly no we will not accept an oligarchic form of society where a handful of billionaires run the government no we will not accept an authoritarian form of society with a president who undermines the Constitution every day lying to

and screwing over working people so that they can steal from our health care and social security and veterans care to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest and bailouts for their crypto billionaire friends there's a word for this corruption no we will not accept a society of massive economic inequalities where the very rich are becoming much richer while working families across the country struggle to put food on the table this isn't just about Republicans we need a Democratic party that fights harder for us too community is the most powerful building block we have to defeat

authoritarianism and root out the corruption in the White House let's do something really radical you ready let's tell the truth tell the truth that is some of what we heard today and you can see at the la large gathering there was enthusiasm even amidst what has been a depressing period for many on the Democratic left and the opposition party these are leaders associated with the more progressive wing that's one dimension but they also separate from say ideology or how to regulate capitalism these are two leaders who want to confront confront Trump in a way that's

more assertive than many other figures like Senator Schumer or Durban we are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history i don't think we're witnessing the start of an oligarchy i think we are fully here these billionaires are not looking out for us they are grinding us to a pulp and they are eating us for breakfast if you are a fan of Donald Trump and you like to punish yourself by watching my live streams welcome i'm still fighting for your healthcare anyway we've got to be smart we've got to be organized and we've

got to fight back this is not a time for wallowing in despair and hiding under the covers the stakes are just too high the stakes are high and we are showing you there how both of those two individuals who are separated by many decades in age have been doing something that Trump and MAGA leaders have used in communications technology which is part of how we live politics today they're using those online tools to speak directly sanders there citing a more upbeat energetic approach and then there are sneakers donald Trump has tapped into all kinds of

trends sometimes nonsensically but Democrats like AOC and Sanders are increasingly aware that you still have to find ways to connect with people's passions even show that you can have some fun that that's part of what I just showed you online today and cultural politics today and the sneakers are in the news bernie Sanders has actually led on that authentically with his own style and campaigning the online communication and then out in the real world what you see here is Sanders pulling up as they say to a sneaker drop in Vermont a gathering that brings people

together well beyond politics it's more popular among many young people and Sanders was game but also you'll notice he was himself marveling at the high cost of some sneakers what is the story with these nice more than I would pay obviously cost $225 for sneakers now this by the way is when real Bernie almost melts into the Larry David Bernie parody so memorably done on Saturday Night Live they're nice but it's more than I would pay we hear you Bernie and Bernie is in the news because he is out there fighting the fight teaming up

with AOC trying online tools going to sneaker drops while also making the serious arguments for universal healthcare and against capitalist insurance companies and against a lot of Trump and Musk's attempt to break down the federal government as we know it democrats are clearly seeking a strong and authentic way to confront the Trump agenda in this sequel that looks at times so much more extreme than the first term and then we see the headlines about who is going to lead the Democratic party while its approval sinks to a 30year low well this rally is just one

thing but it is one thing more than sitting around DC doing the same old debates or using the same old communications tools or only going out into the field close to the elections which is something that Howard Dean and others have mentioned on this broadcast in other places that the Democrats have struggled with historically meanwhile some Republicans don't want to be out in the field answering for the Trump Musk agenda i mentioned Trump is attacking the education department he has this executive order i'll just remind you although that's in the news only Congress may legally

abolish that agency and if Trump got any further with what looked mostly like a PR effort well it's not like Republicans want to sell that in the next election by huge margins two and three Americans just oppose eliminating the education department and out in the field as I mentioned that's kind of the theme here today republicans are getting an earful from voters in red districts opposing a lot of the Trump Musk [Applause] [Music] agenda do is not dismantling social security and even with reconciliation we are not allowed to touch social security the work that I

have specifically been doing I am on the judiciary it's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with federal government but but here's the thing [Applause] that's some of the back and forth and you can see in a kind of a less perhaps aggressive manner the Republican trolling that passes for argument these days telling citizens your constituents that they seem quote obsessed with the federal government like it's some sort of Twitter or X fight where you can dunk on them isn't a good explanation of just how large or small you want the federal government to

be and whether people still want social security checks on time or an education department as I just showed you that most people in places red and blue think has a role to play and that's just when Republicans are there that's when the officials actually go out in the field when they don't well voters are trying to draw attention to that here's a Colorado activist showing a kind of a cardboard cutout of a very conservative congresswoman Laura Bober uh Lauren who hasn't held town halls so she hasn't been held accountable in that way meanwhile Donald Trump

is trumping saying America has become something of a quote fat dumb foolish country in a Fox interview a kind of rhetoric that is striking because it doesn't seem very appealing it violates many laws of politics but here we are so you take it all together today and you can see that what the politicians are trying to do in Washington is only one part of the story because out in the country they are supposed to represent out in the districts they're supposed to represent there is a broad and diverse set of views it does not mean

the Democratic party is a popular alternative right now it's actually as I showed you crashing just like the stocks under Donald Trump's leadership and a lot of the approval of Donald Trump his economic agenda his plans to shutter the education department we had an election but it doesn't seem to have resolved the deeper questions about what it means for working people in this environment with all of these wealthy people and all of the tariffs and all of the market girrations and the talk of cutting the federal government and maybe going after social security as Elon

Musk has promised all of that affecting real people's lives the anger is actually building so we're going to bring in shared Brown longtime populist senator and Reverend Al Sharpton for where we go from here
