A new poll has me within single digits of leading in my race, ahead of FIVE other career politicians. This is incredible!
I was a "long shot" in March. Now we’re proving that grassroots campaigns can be viable and win — but I can’t do it without your help.

Libertarians and conservatives talk a lot about freedom, but the most important kind of freedom is freedom from domination — and if you take that seriously, you should oppose capitalism.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak.
The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

Egg production is only down about 4% from last year, but prices have more than doubled.
While the industry blames bird flu, critics are accusing the largest egg companies of price gauging.
They point to the fact that corporate profits have soared in recent months.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The political apathy on display is astonishing. And shows how incapable of inspiring the electorate the political strategists were
I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.
Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.
