It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/
Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Donald Trump's decision to bar the Associated Press today from entering the Oval Office was the latest, and most significant attack on the free press since he took office.
We need a strong independent media to take on Trump.
I will never back down.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The Trump administration plans to reduce the USAID workforce from over 10,000 to around 290 positions. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s staffers are now at FEMA, accessing information on its grant programs.

Memos have been distributed to instill fear, warning federal employees that layoffs will begin if not enough people accept Elon’s buyout. This no longer feels voluntary.

Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

Trump while surveying hurricane recovery in NC today: "I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA..I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.”
He's not just stupid, he's dangerous.

Buried toward the end of the press release was another eye-opening detail. Pete Hegseth allegedly said, “women should not vote or work and that Christians needed to have more children so they could overtake the Muslim population.”
UM.
UM.
Hegseth’s former sister-in-law says he believed women shouldn’t vote
That tracks with the tenets of a religious movement he's involved in.
