Ah, to have a U.S. Senator who's an epidemiologist, in possession of a moral compass. Americans support Medicare for All: the effective, moral means to provide healthcare.

Your vote is matched to your signature on file. Poll observers from every party watch the count. 150 million people vote. Fraud cases? A handful. Intimidation at the polls is a federal crime. The system works because it has checks — and you can be one of them. #ProudBlue #Pinks #OneV1

Whoa. Zach Lahn, Republican candidate for Iowa governor, got caught not living in Iowa. He lives in a $2 mill mansion in Kansas. He also owned a $5 mill “ski-in, ski-out” mansion in Montana, which he sold but still owns land there. The irony — he’s running his campaign on an “Iowa First” agenda.

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.
Line chart titled "The pace of job growth in Canada has outpaced job growth in the United States" showing cumulative percent change in employment since December 2024 for Canada and the United States. Canada's employment has grown 1.34% while US employment has increased just 0.34%, meaning Canadian job growth has outpaced the United States by nearly four to one. Canada's employment growth accelerated sharply from 0.98% in June 2026 to 1.34% in July 2026, the highest rate in the period shown, while US employment growth has remained relatively stable between 0.3% and 0.36% from April through July 2026.

The DOJ says it can't release the Epstein files because it's protecting victims' privacy. The victims say the DOJ already published their names. They called it "laughable." I'd have used a different word. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/hes-huntin...

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
