The two biggest strategic reasons to invest in red state Dems IMO are:
1. You've got to build a firewall and red states are the laboratories for democracy destroying ideas.
2. Those red state Dems know how to fight the GOP far better than most, bc they grew up doing it on every political level.

I can never hear or see something about the extreme right Proud Boys without remembering that "proud boy" is a term for a gelding that doesn't realize it's been neutered and keeps acting like a stallion. So do with that info what you will. *sips coffee*

Ok, folks. Only 49% of people in the US are religious, and women comprise 51% of the population (2020 census).
There is NO justification for taking away women's medical autonomy in the name of religion.
We need to remember that WE ARE NOT A MINORITY, there are more women than men in this country!

The percentage of Americans who say religion is an important part of their lives declined from 66% in 2015 to 49% in 2025. Among the fastest declines in the world.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

I've said this many times. The GOP story has never changed since FDR, and they hold a grudge about it. It might be a good time to remind everyone that an R president sends this nation into a Depression or a Recession every. single. time.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.
12 days of work in 103 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.
