In 1922, Florence Ellinwood Allen was elected justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, the first woman elected to the highest court in any state. She had previously been the first woman assistant county prosecutor in the country and the first woman elected to a judicial office in Ohio.

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.

It’s Time for Democrats to Woo the Man Vote
The post-Dobbs emphasis on the women’s vote didn’t help the party among women—and it may have affirmatively alienated millions of men. It's time to treat men as an interest group.

US inflation heats up to 3% for first time since June | CNN Business
It’s not just eggs. Many commonly purchased goods and services got more expensive in January, driving inflation in the wrong direction and to its highest rate since June of last year.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.
This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

I wrote about Trump's "Iron Dome for America," why it probably won't happen, and why it doesn't have to work to be a win for him. Trump understands that iconic images matter more to less engaged voters than actual results, and has turned this to his advantage, replacing politics with theatrics:
