I see some people complaining, but this is undeniably good for the UK.

A strategist’s candidates can’t all be winners (morally or politically), but Katz’s playbook helped spark the grassroots progressive movement revitalizing the left.

If anyone can help the UK left beat back the oligarchy…

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Campaigning for New York governor in 1928, Roosevelt said, β€œ[If] reduction of hours of women and children is Socialistic, we are all Socialists; and [if] public improvements for the hospitals of the State and the prisons of the State is Socialistic, we are all Socialists. And [if] bettering health ... [and] aid to the educational program of this State, if they are Socialistic, we are Socialists and we are proud of the name” (Schlesinger 1957, 384). As a Progressive, Franklin Roosevelt was outside the mainstream of Democratic politics through the 1920s. Nevertheless, he was an intellectual leader who believed that his time would come.

Earlier start time may be part of what’s at play here. Expect a slick AM commute.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting an exchange between Nancy Mace and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz during a hearing. Walz responds that he is the governor of Minnesota and not there to serve as a prop for her obsession. Below is a video still showing Walz seated at a hearing table with a nameplate reading β€œGovernor Walz.”

The people of Iran must be scared out of their minds, hearing Donald Trump say *he* will appoint their new leader, only moments before appointing America's Stupidest Senator, Markwayne Mullins, to run Homeland Security.

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.

But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.
