We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:
If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.
And he should be.

I personally don't like the term "herd immunity" because it makes me feel like livestock.
I prefer "community immunity" not just because it brings up feelings of being in it together, but it also has pizzazz and a sense of fun. Super sellable.
