The phrase “the dog that didn’t bark” comes from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story Silver Blaze (1892).

Holmes notes a dog’s silence during a theft as the key clue—it didn’t bark because the intruder was familiar.

I’m honored to earn Fund Her’s endorsement in this race. As a single mom of three kids, I understand how families are struggling to afford the cost of housing, child care, healthcare, & groceries.

I’ll bring fresh ideas, new leadership, and the grit we need to deliver lower costs for Californians.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

You chicken shit #republicans!

You hide in your safe, sycophantic, echo chambers. Congress, Fox News... X, weaklings.

You fucking deplorable #GOP dregs, licking Trump's festering asshole clean for him.

You hide from constituents, and burn down the constitution-to protect a criminal.

My opponent didn’t deny he didn’t cast a ballot in six straight elections—as per usual, he just refused to comment. If David Scott can’t even speak up for himself, you’ve got to ask yourself if he’ll speak up for you in congress. It’s clear that he won’t. It’s just as clear that I will.
