Today’s Daily Stoic:

“.. The call to courage is not simply the call to conquer fear. It is the call to conquer fear in service of something greater than yourself. To speak the truth, even when it costs you. To do what’s right, even when it’s hard.”

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.

Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

I also don't think you can talk about Republican complicity without talking about Dennis Hastert, who is never ever discussed anymore, but he was the speaker of the House, and he was a pedophile.
