I've voted blue since I voted for Carter in '76, with the exception of voting for Reagan in '80 (I bought into his๐Ÿ’ฉ , but woke up quickly). I'm encouraged by a new generation of Dems who are more interested in helping Americans than pleasing rich donors.

We canโ€™t have someone enforcing the law who isnโ€™t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31.

This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC.

You decide who Congress answers to.

Amazon pulls theater's screening rights for "Melania" because of marquee jokes (eg โ€œDOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!โ€). It's uncertain if this will impact the theaterโ€™s ability to show future Amazon films, such as โ€œProject Hail Mary.โ€

On the Emails Between Jeffrey Epstein and Noam Chomsky I am heartsick. As a young boy, I experienced horrific sexual violence, which I have written about before and which continues to mark me even decades later. It means that I cannot tolerate anyone who ...

Yup. Can't dismiss this or excuse it.

So painful to see Chomsky behave this way.

This would not surprise me one bit. I used to live near the US-Mexico border and have had many encounters with CBP. Some agents were okay, but many were dickheads on power trips.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

As the rising tide of capitalism lifts the yacht of Jeff Bezos to new heights, he throws 300 people from Washington Post overboard with anchor chains around their necks.

Because every greedy, immoral billionaire knows that if you lighten a ship's load it'll rise even higher.

Is it even legal to use campaign finances to buy one's own product, especially on such a massive scale?

One lesson from the Epsteinโ€“Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

You probably already know this, but just for the benefit of others a fallen tree like this is called a "nurse log."

With a sharp eye one can predict where nurse logs once existed. Look for straight rows of trees that are approximately the same age. Good chance they sprouted on the same log.

Mike Johnson knows heโ€™s not a leader; heโ€™s a parasite and heโ€™s nothing without Trump. Heโ€™s betting that his best chance to remain in a position of power (an illusion of power, to be more accurate) is to suck up to Trump and do his masterโ€™s bidding.

So many people are commenting that for the next election DEMS shouldn't waste time on investigating MAGA crimes.

Why are dems still running scared?

We've lost almost every office because of running away from the fight

If anything's to be learned from Trump, it's push back hard & the base follows
