The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Push is on in US Congress to impose ban on lawmaker stock trades
A bipartisan coalition in the U.S. Congress is seeking action to ban lawmakers from buying and selling individual stocks, a practice that has long raised ethics questions and is stoking infighting among lawmakers over how deeply to regulate their personal finances.

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.
If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

Rachel Campos-Duffy doesn't seem to realize Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia has hired mercenaries. Russia has purposefully targeted and slaughtered civilians. Russia has kidnapped Ukrainian children and committed war crimes. Ukraine is trying to defend its sovereignty.

I'm going to sound like a broken record by the way I keep mentioning how 95% of Somalis in the Twin Cities metro area are US citizens, but very few mainstream outlets are pointing this out.

Our leaders are very stupid.
Current US Policy:
If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.
