If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what?
I’m running for California State Assembly!
Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

Already seeing Dems say they should run on local, kitchen-table issues in 2026, and I don’t understand how this miserable excuse for a political party expects voters to react as if there’s a national political crisis if they themselves aren’t willing to talk about a national political crisis

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.
It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.
She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.
Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.
