Politics is a mess. A couple of high school students from different ends of the political spectrum think they have an answer.

We talked to two high school students from different political parties about their new organization - and their PAC - that gets students involved in politics and promotes bipartisanship.

That and our other conversations are here:

The press, politicians and the public should not be afraid of their president. The president should be afraid of them.

No election worker, candidate, elected official, or advocate for democracy should ever be afraid of political retribution, arrest, or attack - and they certainly shouldn't be afraid of their own President.

Threats - veiled or otherwise - to punish political opponents is fundamentally undemocratic.

Glad to see the ethics email fundraising as a campaign issue in the Democratic National Committee finance chair election (not an endorsement of @limtim.bsky.social, the Project doesn't endorse candidates, an endorsement of ethics being part of the campaign).

From Mike Nellis, founder of a Democratic online fundraising firm (www.linkedin.com/in/mikenellis/). In addition to the questionable predictive merits, there are serious ethical questions about Polymarket.
