I really hope Dem voters remember this (if it comes to fruition) when @booker.senate.gov inevitably runs for POTUS. Heโ€™s done this to us a lot.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- thereโ€™s no reason paychecks catch up. Thatโ€™s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.

I have special animus for Tapper. Couldnโ€™t wait 5 minutes to write a book disparaging the legacy of a life long public servant. Fโ€™ him is right.

I do think yesterdayโ€™s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

On Halloween, โ€˜state-sponsored terrorโ€™ in Chicago and the north suburbs Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, Border Patrol agents tore through Chicago and the suburbs.

In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls to disperse an angry crowd and arrested two U.S. citizens. In Evanston, one repeatedly pointed his weapon at protesters while another knelt on a manโ€™s back and punched him in the head.

Iโ€™m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration.

If you want to stand up against Trump by supporting independent, pro-democracy media, consider subscribing (free or paid) to Democracy Docket. It has no venture capitalists, no corporate overlords, and n interest in currying favor with Trump. It will never back down or obey. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
