This is another reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.
While not receiving much attention in the media, down-ballot positions are a critical line of defense against Trump-MAGA extremism.
Remember this as we head into an important election year in 2026.

'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
