I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

I got a chance to talk to Tannisha Avarrseka at Loktantra on her podcast Politically Speaking. We discuss the Indian & American politics and of course - gender and political marketing! Go give it a listen on Apple or Spotify or YouTube.

A federal judge issued an emergency order early Saturday prohibiting Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service from accessing personal and financial data on millions of Americans kept at the Treasury Department, noting the possibility for irreparable harm.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Since last MLK Jr. Day I have been to churches, synagogues, & temples visiting different faiths to understand their concerns. We all have more in common than we realize. It's easy to hate an abstract idea. I'm going to work on building bridges and loving my neighbors (regardless of their beliefs).

Saratoga Springs commissioners and mayor make $8.33 an hour or $14500 a year. We are trying to change that to minimum wage. That would change their salary to $25740 a year What are your thoughts?
