There’s a very specific kind of person who runs for office.
You’ve seen them. The folks who think being everywhere is the same thing as being needed. The “it’s my turn” crowd.

All of this is the drumbeat of the authoritarian playbook in real time… doxxing, firings, silencing, punishment. And it isn’t a question of if this gets worse.
It’s only when.

One bullet has tilted the ground beneath us. But before Charlie Kirk’s family could even plan a funeral, the right has already turned his death into a weapon.

It’s not enough. But it’s something, and something matters a hell of a lot more than nothing.
This is what it looks like when we stop waiting for heroes and start doing the damn work.

Tired of trying to figure out what’s real and what’s just loud? I made a no-fluff fact-checking toolkit… the sites I actually use.
For your mom. For the group chat. For you.

And what do we get? We get to hold each other up. We get to keep fighting, exhausted and angry, because that’s all there is.
It’s easy to feel so damn tired. But we’re still here, doing whatever we can because that’s all we have left. No light at the end of the tunnel. Just each other.

The truth? We never did the groundwork.
We haven’t invested in the counties. We haven’t built the trust. We havent trained the people. And now we're standing in a field, looking around, wondering why nothings grown.
It's the pattern Democrats keep repeating.

RFK JR: “My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within 4 years.” Can you imagine if a Democrat said they wanted to track every American?

I don’t know if y’all saw the memo Trump just put out…
The one federalizing 2,000 National Guard troops AND opening the door for unlimited active-duty military to be used against protests.

Kristi Noem warned that if Biden federalized the National Guard, it would be a dangerous, unconstitutional power grab.
Now Trump’s done exactly, she’s not just silent. She’s all in.
So what happened??

If you’re thinking about running - especially in places where winning feels like a long shot, but showing up still changes the math - start here.

THIS IS THE ISSUE. A Democratic staffer was handcuffed by DHS agents inside Rep. Nadler’s office, and when asked how Democrats would respond, Jeffries had nothing. No plan. No urgency.
If this is the response, we have a bigger problem: our leaders may not be built for this moment.

Americans have no idea who actually lives in this country.
We massively overestimate how many people are rich, gay, trans, or immigrants, and underestimate the folks who make up the real majority.
That disconnect isn’t harmless. It’s political.

You might have seen the viral meme claiming Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” would let him cancel elections, ignore the Supreme Court, and criminalize protests.
It’s a lie.

I’ve run campaigns in deep red places.
I’ve helped candidates win where nobody thought they could - and I’ve watched others burn out before they ever knocked a single door.
So I’m kicking off a new series on Project Battleground

You’d never know this was the same government tearing families apart.
The way they talk about these (white) refugees—smiles, flags-you’d think they forgot they’re deporting Black and Brown families every single day.
With Trump, it’s not about what’s right. It’s about who’s white

I’ve been told more than once that I know just enough to get myself in trouble—and just little enough to act a fool.
I recognized the words when I saw them in the headlines: habeas corpus.
I knew it sounded like something I should probably know.
