I’m a Veteran who used to prosecute terrorists for a living. Now I’m running for Congress in North Carolina.

I’m fed up with the GOP’s attacks on Medicaid & the VA. And my opponent, Congressman Chuck Edwards, ignores his duty but bends over backwards to please his big donors.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who has been one of the most vocal critics of his party’s approach to Trump, said in an interview that the spectacle from Democrats was “sad AF.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said that while he understands “the emotion behind” such outbursts, they are “not my style.” In an illustration of how sharply Democrats are split over how to take on Trump, one of the party’s rising stars, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Florida), said his colleagues’ rowdiness on Tuesday was the point. He was among a group of Democrats who departed before the end of Trump’s speech. “It is rude. It is disrespectful,” he said. “That was the whole point of it — to disrespect him.”

This is literally the problem: We NEED to be rude. We need emotion. These fuckers are destroying democracy & hurting people; our elected Democrats *should* be pissed. When they're not, they're essentially gaslighting the rest of us. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

As so much coming out of DC feels bleak, there is still a lot of hope out there.

‘The Interview’: Senator Ruben Gallego on the Democrats’ Problem (Gift Article) The Arizona lawmaker diagnoses what he thinks needs to change in the way his party communicates with men, Latinos and Trump voters.

“We can’t be afraid of failing. I think that’s the biggest mistake I’ve seen Democrats make. We’re always afraid of failing, so we don’t take risks.”

This is shaping up to be the City's most interesting race.

We fought for years to make this office a reality and lives were saved because of it. Stay tuned because we’re not giving up on this. Trump might be okay with dissolving a life-saving office but the people aren’t.

Tragic irony: many Americans will first hear about Biden accomplishments only as Trump revokes them.

Cecile Richards was an incredible human, leader, and boss. I was in awe of her talents and inspired by her every day. She taught us that we could do great things at work & also be good moms & friends. She encouraged us to have lives, to travel, to live. I learned so much from her. Gone way too soon.

Stop the (North Carolina) Steal The Democratic incumbent got more votes. Now the Republican challenger is trying to throw out tens of thousands of them.

"When all the votes in November’s race for North Carolina’s state supreme court were counted, the incumbent, Allison Riggs, had won more. The question is whether that will be enough for her to take office."

Universal Pre-K is the best thing to happen to NYC in a long time.

It’s a national model that lifts all boats.

Every single mayoral candidate should be looking for ways to expand it.

Messenger matters - which is why candidate recruitment like what @runforsomething.bsky.social does is so so important.

We cannot win if voters get their news about Democrats from Republicans.

Our party needs to show up everywhere if we want to beat the GOP’s edge and reshape the information environment.

That means deploying great communicators to deliver effective messages – everywhere.

A North Carolina judge won two recounts. Republicans are still trying to overturn her election. "This is a nonviolent version of January 6."

“What’s happening in North Carolina is sinister, and it will have a chilling effect on our democracy and our country if they’re able to get away with what they’re trying to achieve.”

Deb Haaland Launches Review of 'Devastating' Native American Boarding Schools The Interior Department probe will identify Indigenous children who died at schools the U.S. government forced them into for assimilation into white culture.

One of the first things Deb Haaland did as Interior Secretary was launch a major review of what, exactly, the U.S. government did during the decades it forced Native children into white assimilation schools.

How Old Is Too Old to Be President? Democrats Still Don’t Want to Say. (Gift Article) At a gathering of Democratic governors, many were reluctant to discuss the issue that sank President Biden’s campaign: age. Others are ready for a Gen X president.

I feel pretty confident in this: The next Democratic nominee - and the next president - will not be a boomer. Their grasp on power is nearing its end.
