It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This should be . . . worrisome to anyone who sees themselves as an America-First nationalist?

It was not great for America the last time Germans had a charismatic, expansionist strongman who was obsessed with nationalist identity. nypost.com/2025/02/17/o...
What I heard in Munich — ordinary Germans long for a Trump of their own
Average Germans understand their nation is in crisis — and are exasperated that it took an American leader like JD Vance to say so.

I wish I could offer a brighter take on where we’re headed, but this is a necessary watch to understand just how insidious the infiltration of key fed agencies and positions is in dismantling the rule of law.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

I'm coming to the frightening conclusion that utter ideological disregard for the Constitution and desensitization to corruption are both so widespread in the American political class at this point that a lot of Democrats genuinely do not see what everyone's so freaked out about right now.
It is time to look to the future.

The challenges that face America are many and great.

The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.
