It's well-demonstrated that President Donald Trump doesn't like to share the spotlight, so Monday night must have been particularly distressing, as the Democratic National Committee held the first night its first ever digital convention.

The two hour event featured numerous Democrats and more than a few Republicans making the case against another term for President Donald Trump.


The highlight of the night was the closing speech, delivered by none other than former First Lady Michelle Obama just four years after her famous "When they go low, we go high" speech. Mrs. Obama delivered her most scathing rebuke yet of President Donald Trump, calling him morally and fundamentally unfit for the office.

Mrs. Obama's address was widely praised for highlighting her ability to connect with viewers through a screen and her emotional transparency when expressing the importance of voting in November.

Later on Tuesday, at a White House event commemorating women's suffrage, Trump claimed that Obama was "in over her head."

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
