WAKE UP, America! I know this is not what you voted for.
Folks, this is a scam.

The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.

Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

As a Michigander raising a family here, and as someone with South Bend ties, Pete has my full support no matter what his role. He’s fighting the good fight and we need him.
I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:
I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work
We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.

Ahh, okay. We won’t arrest and charge him for the death of his child due to his choice…but we WILL arrest and charge a miscarrying mother?

America has unwillingly embarked on an n=1 naturalistic study of effects of ketamine abuse + classical psychopathy in a man who "lacks the empathy gene" + possible bipolar disorder + the most obscene wealth in history + grandiose dumbassery.

In the co-president.

We need to stop thinking voting is a rational assessment based on facts and realise instead that the electorate is being actively manipulated - fear and division wins apparently.

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

Is this not incredibly alarming to everyone? Even scarier is that SCOTUS won’t see any issue with it. We no longer have a First Amendment, period.

Kind of feels like there wasn’t a mandate to destroy the health insurance program that covers 24% of Americans in order to fund a giant tax giveaway for billionaires and corporations, but maybe it’s just me.
