Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

Praying that the latest developments in the Middle East will lead to the real results we all hope to see: an end to the suffering and destruction, the return of all remaining hostages, and meaningful beginnings toward a lasting peace.

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

Yet, he blames Ukraine for their current war. Why not blame Israel and Russia?

If you’ve been feeling a little short on #hope lately, scrub directly to 8:06

The entire speech (h/t @nerdypursuit.bsky.social) is a worthy watch, of course.

I was gonna tag this #boldness but quickly realized all the #ROTR were rolled into this presentation. #TeamPete

JD Vance is going to Indiana *again* on Friday to try to convince Indiana Republicans to do extreme gerrymandering.

Pete Buttigieg is right:

Indiana Republicans are ashamed of this. They know it's wrong.

I just listened to Pete Buttigieg's call with Win The Era supporters. 💙

Pete has supporters in some very red parts of the country. A farmer from Idaho talked about how he hates the tariffs. A woman from a small rural county in Kansas is trying to start up a local Democratic party.

So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage.

It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators
