Right. Dems need to take back the House in 26. That is imperative if the move to autocracy is to be prevented.

For my family I pay $24,000 a year for healthcare that doesn’t cover my leukemia needs. I pay $65,000 a year in health care for my employees. I’m DROWNING.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I start with this clip of me from 2024 on Jimmy Kimmel Live and we talk about how Trump told us for years what he was going to do to the country now.

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do."

"He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

They should take a cue from the BCC interviewers; they are great a calling out politicians who lie, fail to answer a question, or are misleading in some way. They don't let the politicians drone on; they cut them off and call them out.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

There is a similar case before the Supreme Court this term that could allow for unlimited contributions paid directly to politicians. No need for dealing with Super Pacs, anymore.
