Hope is a choice to notice, to appreciate, and hold fast to ideals that matter.
Let’s remind each other that we want to choose hope when we forget; when it’s hard. Just as others have shown me, it can make all the difference in an era glaring with reasons to despair.

Many of us learned long ago that there is no "Legal Philosophy" in the Federalist Society. It is a club that gives members a leg up in the competition for certain judicial clerkships and jobs in the Trump administration. That is it. Period.

The takes on MTG’s decision largely focus on politics. It’s like no one has experienced psychological abuse?
She’s received threats & more are coming because she spoke out against Trump. She won’t be a “battered wife.” She knows she can’t win, so rather than roll over she’s walking.

A large number of accounts or “influencers” seen calling for the overthrow of the Mexican government over alleged cartel links are associated to previous governments and associations linked to the cartels themselves and are now boosted by Trump’s influence networks including Argentina & El Salvador.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Glad to see these voices coming out.
The Democrats do not have the power, so they played the cards they had. Now we know with certainty who stands where.
It is abundantly clear who needs to be voted out in next year‘s midterms: every GOP office holder & 8 Dems.

For basically the amount of money Republicans in Congress gave DHS to make immigrants' lives hell, they could have eradicated poverty in America.
I don't think their choice was the one Jesus would have made.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.
For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.
Let’s change that. One election at a time.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
