I voted for James Talarico more than a week ago. So the Harris endorsement will have little influence on my vote.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, thatโs when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year.
Whereโs our refund?

I haven't really followed the Texas senate race and admittedly don't know much about Talarico but the network trying to block this and colbert posting it anyway and it taking off....yeah now I'm watching.

If this country was truly โpro-life,โ we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isnโt about โlife.โ
Itโs about control.

The best concert that I saw last year was one by Ruben Blades and his orchestra. I had only a rough understanding of what he was singing about, but I wouldn't have changed a thing.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
