Republicans are finding out in real time how bad Donald Trump is for even their businesses. I have truly no empathy for them.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

I’m just going to say it: the INDems need to clean house. The fact that the Senate Dems re-elected Greg Taylor after these harassment complaints is inexcusable. Time to put women in charge.

This is how you block 'em.
