Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr.
But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us.

What RFK Jr. Is Taking Away From You
The problem isn’t just that he’s a quack - it’s that he’s a quack with power over your health, and he’s using that power to hurt you.

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness.
On a plane, I want a pilot.
In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence.
Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data.
Ignore it and we all pay the price.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”
