Thank you all so so much! We may have won tonight but the work is far from over. We have 8 months to knock doors, make calls, raise funds, talk to our friends and neighbors and get as many people as possible to turn out in November.

And tariffs are in the news, again. Last week the Supreme Court said that the president’s tariff regime was illegal. So, instead of backing off, he doubled down. We need a Congress that actually does its job and doesn’t roll over. That’s why I’m running.

The President has been talking recently about β€œnationalizing elections”. That’s unconstitutional to say the absolute least. And Brad Knott, our current rep. isn’t doing a thing to speak out against it. We need folks who will step up. That’s why I’m running.

The President likes to claim tariffs on foreign goods have been great for folks. But that’s not what tariffs actually are. They’re an unnecessary tax we all pay. Congress has had its power to levy tariffs stripped by the President and we need a Congress that is willing to stand up.

We’re too aware of the corruption rampant within this administration but sometimes it’s just so blatant that it’s past the point of ridiculous. We need a Congress that will call out corruption when they see it.

Yesterday, ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered Alex Pretti. Their second victim in just as many weeks. This is what happens when you drop un-vetted masked agents on the ground with no clear parameters. This is disgusting, shameful, and heartbreaking.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who told us that β€œInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” A quote that is still all too relevant today as see the events unfolding in places like Minneapolis. I encourage you to reflect on Dr. King’s life & legacy today

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: β€œThe message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I’m sorry, but Meta needing literal nuclear power to keep its AI going is just insane. I know it makes me sound like a Luddite or a boomer but this AI push needs to stop. Our country, our schools, and our Congress/laws sure as hell aren’t ready for it. Not to mention the environmental impact.

The actions in Venezuela over the weekend raises a lot of questions and rightfully so. But, the one that I have is, how does this help lower costs for folks? How does this make life more affordable? That’s my big question. We need to keep our eye on the ball.
