Leigh Wambsganss raised nearly $2.3 million for the SD9 district, much of it coming from three billionaire-funded PACs.
Taylor Rehmet raised $346,000, most of it coming from donations of $100 or less. His biggest donor gave him $12K, and a bunch of local unions also cut him larger checks.

As horrid as the sex stuff is that captures all the attention, I wish Americans would understand it’s part of deeper transnational power plays. Yes, the Epstein / Maxwell headlines are abominable. But it goes *way deeper* and *both* political parties are in on it.
Blinken's stepfather was Maxwell's best friend and lawyer, and after Maxwell died, he became Epstein's advisor sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/red-lines

100%. We were lucky then & didn’t lose power, only water - it was still a life altering event. I can’t explain it fully. COVID was still ongoing & soon after a tornado that started five houses away from us while not under a tornado warning and my sense of security will never be the same.
There’s a lot of PTSD related to Winter Storm Uri in 2021. When millions of Texans lost power, water, heat, and hundreds died.
I’ve received about 2 dozen winter weather emergency alerts from city & county government today. Everyone is anxious.
Extreme cold is extremely rare here.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.
That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.
