Folks, I assure you the GOP has more than redistricting up their sleeves to control the 2026 election, if they even allow us to have one.

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back.

If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism.
