Marjorie Taylor Greene hopes you never learn my name. I’m Shawn Harris. I’m a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running to replace her in Congress. If you’re ready for leadership that works for you, not for TV ratings, please share this. LEADERSHIP MATTERS!

I would pay cold hard cash to any legislator’s reelection campaign, who asks RFK Jr to 1) define ASD criteria and 2) explain the full evaluation and assessment process.

I feel like if you can’t even define the diagnosis you claim is caused by vaccines, you are disqualified from speaking on it.

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the stre...

Our veterans are the best of us.

Our government has a sacred obligation to look out for them. We have a duty to care for them.

Instead, the corrupt mongrels in charge are firing them in the thousands.

Veterans fought for us.

It's time we fight for them.

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance.

So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people.

Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it.

Postb it, blow it up and get it out there!

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We're not done yet | 18F

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban.

Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

Trump and Musk’s attacks on the civil service—from air traffic controllers to food and drug inspectors—aim to destroy Congressional power, which is the people's power.

The real “Fork in the Road” is between democracy and autocracy. Don’t quit on American democracy.
