Well past time for new blood to step in and wrangle leadership from the old guard.
I especially support @drannieandrews.com and and all healthcare leaders to step up and run for public office.
No better time than the current to take a big swing!

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.
Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

President Trump granted refugee status to white South Africans on Monday. Who are Afrikaners? And what is apartheid in South Africa? What to know.

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that.
Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

Click that photo of the capitol building (Denver, CO). A progressive political agenda that centers empathy -- care for people in our community and the planet - is the way to win and fight back against the cruelty of fascism.
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The GOP's SAVE Act wouldn't do much to strengthen election security, but it would disenfranchise millions of Americans. The legislation's proof of citizenship requirements would particularly impact married women who have changed their names and trans voters.

Seattle's tech wealthy waged a frenzied war against it. Seattle's quisling city council moved the ballot to February to suppress turnout. Nonetheless, the voters of Seattle have overwhelmingly approved a measure funding a social housing agency by taxing the rich.

Seattle poised to pass ‘excess compensation’ tax for social housing
After the first ballot count in the special election, Seattleites heavily favored a business tax instead of pulling from the Jumpstart payroll tax.
