LAST CHANCE: The biggest rebuttal to Trump's "State of the Union" just got BIGGER.
Democratic Rep. Jason Crow joins ROBERT DE NIRO, MARK RUFFALO, STACEY ABRAMS, SEN. RON WYDEN, REP. ERIC SWALWELL, and MORE.
Friends —
I’m on a WILD, EXCITING team call right now (yes, our calls are that fun) about STATE OF THE SWAMP — the rebuttal to Trump’s State of the Union — at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on February 24. Actually! I’m typing this while we’re chatting about the latest developments, and I want to give you a Members-only update.
FIRST, this event is going to be loud and defiant. And we’ve just added major voices to the lineup:
Rep. Jason Crow — who stood up publicly to warn U.S. troops to refuse “illegal orders” — and who this week defied Trump’s threats of prosecution;
Ruth Ben-Ghiat — NYT bestselling author and one of the leading scholars on authoritarian movements;
Joanne Carducci — new media all-star helping build the next generation of independent political coverage;
Lisandra Vazquez — comedian and TikTok creator bringing sharp political satire to millions;
And more surprise speakers still to be announced…
SECOND, prices are about to go up. And in-person tickets are moving fast! If you’ve been meaning to join us (in person or virtually), now is the moment to lock in your seat.
The above speakers will be joined by Robert De Niro, Sen. Ron Wyden, Stacey Abrams, Mark Ruffalo, Jim Acosta, and many others for a night that will be bold, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore.
100% of net proceeds go toward efforts to counter Trump’s abuses of power. ALSO, for the next 48 hours, we are going to let DEFIANCE.org Members use my “friends and family” discount code, so here it is:
