Senator Roger Marshall is up for re-election (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/u...

It was Easter weekend in 2007 when a police car pulled up to Joe Vasquez’s home in rural Kansas.

A doctor had filed a lawsuit against him and his wife over an unpaid $4,561 bill from her emergency hysterectomy three years earlier. They had missed a court date, and the doctor’s lawyers asked the court to issue an arrest warrant.

The police took the couple into custody as their grandchildren prepared for an egg hunt, Mr. Vasquez said. They spent two days in jail before their son could borrow the money to post bond.

“We had no money to pay,” said Mr. Vasquez, now 68. At the time, his wife was working at a manufacturing plant and he was on disability, he said.

The doctor who sued the couple was Roger Marshall, now a senator from Kansas. Mr. Marshall, a Republican who is seeking re-election this fall, filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients with outstanding bills during his decades-long career as an obstetrician-gynecologist, according to a New York Times analysis of Kansas court records.

Pete Hegseth’s pastor doesn’t believe women should have the right to vote. Seriously. That’s how extreme this administration really is. Your voice and your vote matter. Use it to help build a better future for our kids, families, and communities.

Today is Equal Pay Day. Women working full-time earned 81 cents on the dollar in 2024, down from 84 cents in 2022. The gap widened two years in a row. This is theft, conducted in broad daylight. Read it, share it, get loud. open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Equal pay for equal work. On Women's Equal Pay Day, we renew that call. Under my administration, we have raised the minimum wage, ensured fair compensation for workers with disabilities, and increased salary transparency — and we'll keep fighting to close the wage gap.

My grad school bicycle engineering class at Univ Wash was taught with his book in 1995. Honestly I almost failed the class arguing with the engineering professor so often. I passed just barely !

So what happens when the Republicans win even more of the Senate. How helpful is that? Please think this through a bit more than your immediate anger

On the courts, I am equally mad at Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, at both the left and liberal wings, of the Democratic Party. Neither of them ever took the judiciary, or court appointments and reform, seriously while GOP & Federalist Society packed the courts with headbangers.

The predictable result of RFK Jr’s dangerous extremism and a Trump Admin that attacks science, shuns the truth and traffics in conspiracy theories. Their fear mongering about vaccines is part of a broader pattern that is literally getting people killed.
