Adam Kinzinger has a message: We don’t have to storm beaches to save democracy—just care enough not to check out. This isn’t the end of America, unless we let it be.
We Are Not the Generation That Lets This Die
After 250 years of sacrifice, we won’t let apathy be our legacy.

The American public elected a president and administration who whether they knew it or not was intent on dismantling the very things that made America the economic and cultural envy of the world. That is the story of Trump 2.0.

Thinking of this George Washington quote this July 4th. “May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit & enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, & there shall be none to make him afraid."

This is a great resource. I didn't have a strong concept of how many people rely on Medicare/Medicaid/ACA marketplace or are uninsured. Roughly between 45-60% in the districts I randomly looked through. 😳

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

They told me if I voted for Kamala we'd have Middle East war, inflation, an economic slump, weaponization of DOJ, no peace in Gaza or Ukraine and incompetents all over govt. Well, sure looks that way now.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

This is almost such an obvious point, it feels slightly crazy to point it out, but a politician winning a national election does not mean that the criticisms of that politician were wrong. Nixon and Bush both go reelected and everything their most unsparing critics said about them was right.

Nihilism is not an effective defense strategy against Trump. If you find yourself throwing up your hands and declaring law meaningless and the battle lost, remind yourself that this is what his people want you to think.
