open.substack.com/pub/contrari... If someone who witnessed what Lewis had, someone who had risked his life repeatedly, could maintain faith in a multi-generational, multi-ethnic pro-democracy coalition, what right do any of us have to throw up our hands in frustration and walk away from the fight?

This article says Whiskey Pete unilaterally made the decision to halt the weapons to Ukraine, blindsiding Congress and the State Department, as well as our allies.
The weapons were already in Europe loaded onto trucks aimed for Kyiv when he gave the order.

Hegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readiness
The move blindsided the State Department, Ukraine, European allies and members of Congress, who demanded an explanation from the Pentagon.

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.
AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Now of all times Susan Collins picks to support Tulsi Gabbard, an unfit and dangerous nominee. Collins is the worst judge of character and ability I have ever witnessed. Everyone from Kavanaugh to Gabbard gets her ok. Maine- kick her out in 2026

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
