Aren't white working-class voters the holy grail for Democrats? Well, in the new Fox News poll, 65% of white voters without a college degree have an unfavorable view of AI (an even higher percentage than the 60% of all voters).

Ever heard of Peter Thiel? He helped start PayPal and Palantir, a data company that builds surveillance tools to spy on you. He's one of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley. He’s also dumping millions into Nebraska to help Pete Ricketts.

I understand that the poll was weighted at 47%dem, 45% republican - and underrepresents democrats in 2026 (might be accurate for 2024). I do know that Peggy Flanagan’s campaign has work to do to get Angie Craig supporters to vote for her - that means courting and respecting Angie Craig supporters.

Arizona, when the DOJ demanded Arizona’s full voter rolls and Social Security numbers, Fontes stood his ground to protect you. He chose a jail cell over compliance and told them to pound sand. ✊ And the judge tossed the case. Arizona WON! We vote #BlueWaveIn60Days — for Adrian Fontes!

Max Miller’s livestream was all about denying his ex-wife’s allegations. Abusers often blame the victim. Do you know what he didn’t address? 2000 pages of police reports, a high school girlfriend pushed down the steps, Trump‘s former press secretary’s confirmation of abuse. A pattern. #SheShed

The allegations against Platner were disqualifying. He had to drop out. The difference between Platner and Trump is Platner was credibly accused by a victim — Trump was credibly accused by a victim AND found liable by a jury.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.
