Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Trump: "Mike Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes. Considering Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing! Any R that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED"

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

Bari Weiss, and her GOP supporters, have gone after DEI for years. But isn't Weiss a DEI hire herself? She wasn't hired at CBS because of her experience/competency in broadcasting, she wasn't hired for her strategic tv ability, and she wasn't hired for her years of working in news media.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.
Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.
