The bad guys will double down and we will have to redouble our efforts going into 2026. Because thanks to the MSM, the public often doesn't know what the bad guys are doing. And so I will continue my monthly contribution!

I'm sorry, but when you lose by 13 points, contesting the election is not really an option. Republicans spent yesterday spreading lies about the election. We will see more of it in the days and weeks ahead as the margin of victory fades from our memory. 2026 will be a real test of our democracy.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.
