Here's my 2026 Senate donation page.

Notice how I have the more competitive seats at the top, but I *do* still list ALL of the more long shot GOP-held seats as well.

Colleagues have pointed out that the Dartmouth response is strategically ambiguous. If I were faculty or alumni, I would provide feedback that: 1) you interpret this to mean that the unviersity is refusing to sign a corrupt contract; and 2) you are proud of the university for taking that stance.

The Texas redistricting hearing started on Wednesday in El Paso. Democracy Docket is covering it every day like it is the most important case for free and for elections in the country -- because it is. Legacy media is no where to be found.

"10 past TSHA presidents... asked how Bryan, a proud descendant of Texan founding father Stephen F. Austin through a nephew, could “seriously contend that his pioneer great-great-grandfather settled on his Brazoria County plantation with thirty-eight slaves in order to secure ‘freedoms for all.’”"

Good morning, friends! I hope your day is as good as it can be. Let’s all let the haters know where we stand. Choose love and let them wallow in their hate, no reaction is better than lowering ourselves to their level. I choose love, how about you?

So much unreality. There is an actual WW2-scale war going on in Europe now and no sign that we are learning anything from it.

Jeffries: "The next time you have something to say about me, don't cop out through a racist and fake AI video. When I'm back in the Oval Office, say it to my face."

Then came Ronald Reagan . . .

And America has gotten poorer with every cycle of Republicans through our government with their lies.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Here’s the thing. The half of the country that lives in the FoxNews sewer aren’t going to hear about border czar Homan getting caught on tape taking a $50,000 bribe

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation.

But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

The gap between what Republicans think they are & what they actually are is huge. GOP thinks they are for freedom, they are not. They think they are for the rule of law, they are not. They think they are against corruption, they are not. They think they are for protecting the safety of Americans...

Occasionally I dip my toe into MAGA-friendly social media waters. Just to see

Man, those people be cray-cray

You guys have to call? Damn. That's what lobbying does to a set of laws. You just have to click through a couple of confirmation boxes here AFAIK (UK). Incredibly wild that any service that can be subscribed to in one click requires extended human interaction to cancel.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Let me just say a simple thing.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.

If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

Fair.

Patel is making it sound like massive law enforcement with unlimited resources ran the shooter down

He turned himself in

The administration of distraction.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words
