Absolutely understand why Democrats must respond.
Growing up to be interested in #politics, there was a stigma to gerrymandering, that is, redrawing congressional districts to favor your party's chances.
Now the race is on, instigated by the president, to cheat maps nationwide, gaining seats in the midterms. #evangelicals

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

There is no dual set of ethics, one for you and me, and then another for government. If we meet someone who is hungry, and we are able to help, we don't turn our backs.
MAGA #evangelicals stopping children from getting necessary food assistance is about the worst look I've seen in a long while.

Yes on Prop 50 wins, Mamdani wins, Spanberger wins, Sherrill wins, Colorado passes tax on rich to fund school meals!
This is the beginning of the Democratic comeback and hopefully the dawn of a new populist and progressive era.
