The false notions about country people could fill 12 volumes. There's no place at Mar-A-Lago for any country person, most of them are well aware of it. Most country people do not vote and have little regard for politicians. In fact, "politician" is a slur word in many homes. "Red State" is a con.

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.

The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

I'm not a conservative commentator. Billionaires won't pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.

But I am a lawyer who fights for democracy. I did build Democracy Docket from scratch. And, for $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat — you should be worried when you hear the president say a judge should “work for him”. No judge should ever serve any politician. That’s not how the balance of powers works.

End the shutdown? Unpaid Civil Servant? (specifically AirTraffic Controllers & military gate keepers)?
Don't go to work until you are paid. 3M people work in govt. not paid?
If you stay home, so will I... with 30M other people. The rich will stop the shutdown.

Rise up and stop this.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.
