Chair, 4th CD, Indiana Democratic Party. Views are my own.
You can’t reason a person out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
You will never convince the true believers they’re wrong, worry about the ones who don’t think either side cares about them.

I have now spoken with the four known candidates for state chair. I’ve had good conversations with all four and look forward to continuing dialogue on how to rebuild.

One part of this story that I want to highlight: Without data collection from the federal DoE (there's no promise that will be moved into another department), districts may not get penalized for disproportionately punishing disabled students of color more than white disabled students.
I reported on what's at stake if Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans follow through on Project 2025's plan to dismantle the federal Department of Education at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Jimmy Carter was a good man who was a model of decency and servitude. Few Presidents have had more impactful post-presidencies, and his works will long outlive him. May he rest in peace.

The potential for an H5N1 outbreak underscores why RFK Jr is unsuitable for HHS Secretary. He is anti-vax;his advice in Samoa contributed strongly to a measles outbreak that killed over 80 people, the vast majority young children.
Call your Senators and tell them NOT to support RFK Jr at HHS

Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social declared a state of emergency in CA over avian flu. State inspectors detected the flu in over 650 herds of dairy cattle. While there is no evidence the disease has spread human-to-human, the potential has motivated the declaration.

Today, millions of voters get most of their information about Democrats from Republicans.
To win, we have to change that—by communicating and organizing everywhere, and on every platform. We need a year-round campaign operation in every state, fighting up and down the ballot.

I’m not really sure when or why the Media decided that we all have to pretend that every day is the day we were born and that context for our political lives is irrelevant, but that’s what they’ve done. And it allows the gop to set every narrative with no responsibility for anything.
TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies!
BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that.
MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!
