America was not a real democracy until the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act, and even after that it has remained far back in the pack in terms of liberal democracies, scoring slightly better than Hungary and probably recently passed by Poland. US democracy remains unevenly distributed.

Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Stirm was a prisoner of war in Vietnam for five years. When he was freed & arrived home at Travis Air Force Base in 1973, an iconic photo captured his daughter running toward her father. He passed away on Veteran's Day, 11 Nov 2025.

I spent two years in litigation hell. Trial was worse. Thirty years of courtroom experience made me cocky, but the court fixed that. This is the first and only time I talk about this case, as this is the case that made me think of quitting DFIR. brettshavers.com/brett-s-blog...

My casework team has been hard at work for the people of Oregon's Third District. I am excited to share that we have helped constituents recover more than half a million dollars owed to them by the federal government.

Every member of Congress and every Senator will have been hearing from constituents who can no longer afford health care. I think (unfortunately) we have to feel the pain to bring those subsidies back.

I don't like that Dems caved on the ACA subsidies. Primary everyone who did. But they did secure SNAP funding, the thing that will kill people faster, for the whole year. When we go into the next shutdown at the end of January, the pain of the ACA subsidies being gone will no longer be hypothetical

Today’s decision is disappointing. I am not in this fight only for myself, and I’m concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration. This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people, and our country.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today: ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...

Given what we’ve seen on America’s streets, it’s worth repeating what the court says here: Needlessly pointing a firearm at someone can violate the Fourth Amendment, even if the officer never pulls the trigger.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

True villains understand making others complicit is far more effective than defeating them

Speaker Mike Johnson kept the House on vacation for WEEKS to avoid swearing in Congresswoman Grijalva, all because her signature would have forced a vote to release the Epstein files. Today she was finally sworn in.

Last week, we worked with local orgs to create a food resource map. This map covers a large area and we want to make sure it stays up to date. If there's a resource that's not listed, please let us know! You can find the map and add resources here:

Barack Obama walked onto a plane full of veterans and thanked every single one of them: no stage, no teleprompter, no ego trip. That's a real President. #cdnpoli

I feel like the business community in Canada is just not getting the message - there is no miracle deal with Trump and any arrangement we make will be immediately upended when he somehow takes offence at some trivial thing.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

OVERT ACT 125 In additional furtherance of the conspiracy, DEFENDANTS met on November 12, 2025 to discuss ways to wield official government power to prevent further news of the child sex trafficking ring from becoming public.
