From Missouri. You would think we are smart enough to vote for someone else. We’ll see. We reelected Hawley in 2024. We vote for letters (R or D) instead of in our best interests. Mind blowing.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

A lot of parents already know they need to talk about sexual violence and consent. And you do. But that’s only the tiniest piece of the puzzle. And if you don’t situate that conversation in a broader focus on gender equality, then you might do more harm than good.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

A new GAO report estimates fed agencies spent $9.5B on paid admin leave in ‘25, with ~ $6.7B tied to the DOGE deferred resignation program. We spent billions to take jobs from federal employees and agencies are worse off for it. But hey, at least Elon and Trump got all your data.

This is why Democrats falling for disingenuous claims that retreating on trans rights or some other issue would ever work. Republicans campaign against imaginary Democrats. They'll accuse you of anything, so stand for the right thing and communicate constantly and very well.

Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, running for the Senate in Iowa, minimizes the war with Iran because it's "thousands of miles away." But two soldiers from Iowa, Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien and Sgt. Declan Coady, died in a March 1 drone strike in Kuwait. Their families' pain isn't thousands of miles away.

1 trillion dollars and over 114,000 lives saved. Every. Year. Just by having Medicare for all. That’s what the Yale School of Public Health is estimating from its new study. And that $1 trillion saved is after including the cost of adding all the new people and the new care they would receive.

To the people leaving MAGA who want to be treated with kindness and grace:

I appreciate that you've put down the gas can and matches. I do.
But my house is still on fire. People I love are still being burned.
Pick up a fire extinguisher and help us put out the fire. After the ashes have cooled, the burn have been tended, and the structures rebuilt...
Then maybe we can talk about grace.
Don't you dare ask me for anything while the fire you set is still blazing.
