The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.
For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.
Let’s change that. One election at a time.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

Trump is claiming no inflation.
He knows that, unlike him, we actually do our own shopping and know that’s bullshit, right?

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?
2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?
3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now?
They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

I do think the DNC has to stop treating new progressives like the plague, yes.
But there has to be a give and take there, too - Progressives have to understand that they can’t just badmouth ‘normie’ Dems at will.
We’re all on the same side and need to act like it.

Graffiti along Minnehaha Creek.
Be like John McCain.
The thing that is so frustrating about congressional Republicans is they’re acting like anyone would do the same in their position.
That’s simply not true. There are other, better, people, who would risk losing their job in order to do the right thing and protect others. Lots of them.
