Our first endorsements of 2026 are Democratic fighters. They’re backed by their local Indivisible groups and up against status quo Dems. One way you know they’re fighters is by who funds their campaigns: They’re all relying on grassroots donors and refusing money from AIPAC, crypto and corporations.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

If you haven't got your flu (or Covid) vaccine yet, now would be a great time to get it. Vaccines may not stop you from getting sick entirely, but they can drastically reduce the severity of how sick you will be.

SOLUTION:
CRASH Johnson' press conferences.
BRING Adelita Grijalva and a bible.
DEMAND he swear her in right there on live TV.
It's so simple. It'll either get her sworn in or make Johnson stop doing these fucked up lie-filled pressers.
The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.
Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.
They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Someone has pointed out that this equates to $100 per US soldier.
In other words: they are still going without pay, and we should wonder what this bribe is really meant to pay for.
“They're creating the pretext that after we’re successful with Prop. 50, after there's a Dem Gov in NJ & one in VA, unquestionably, that they can suggest these were fraudulent, these elections were rigged against them. “This is a preview of 2026. Wake up, everybody.”
