We are told "on here" that if you vote for whoever wins the Democratic primary in 2028 it is an unforgivable betrayal of all trans people. This is not the case. Trans people, like all people, are not a monolith. And NO candidate who wins the Dem primary will be "as bad or worse" than JD Vance.

Late-night host Stephen Colbert said his interview with Democratic TX Senate candidate James Talarico was pulled from last night’s broadcast over network fears it would violate Trump admin regulatory guidance on equal time for political candidates. apnews.com/article/step...

I’m proud to announce we have already raised more than $1 million dollars from over 56,000 people across Maryland and the nation — and not a dollar from corporate PACs! The people of the 5th District are ready for a fighter, and I'm not going to let them down.

Maine Secy of State Shenna Bellows: “In the context of Trump’s assault on the rule of law & threats to elections, the odd invitation raises concerns.” Here’s what you need to know about the administration summoning state election officials to a meeting: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

In the Navy, NASA, and the Senate, I’ve served under many presidents whose integrity and dedication to upholding our Constitution made our country stronger. On Presidents’ Day, I’m especially grateful for the leaders throughout our history who’ve embodied those principles.

That he is. He was Epstein's pilot

My article in the Kyiv Post today on "Rubio in Munich". What is most striking about the Rubio speech is what was not there. Not a word against Russia or for Ukraine at a security conference in Europe! www.kyivpost.com/opinion/70123

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

back in my day politics wasn't about being nasty it was about being a Policy Wonk and trying not to sound too much like the Orson Welles ferris wheel speech from The Third Man when describing the societal role of government

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

At least a half-dozen top officials in the current Trump administration have connections to Jeffrey Epstein, according to an NBC News review of some of the over 3 million documents the Justice Department has released.
