This Congress, I am proud to say that I have passed four bills through the House. Not because I compromise my values, not because the legislation is a “gimme,” But because I show up every day and work hard for our community.

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

Scott Colom in Mississippi. My understanding is that the combination of him being a good candidate, Hyde-Smith being a lousy person and massive backlash to the VRA being shot down by SCOTUS gives him a small but decent shot at pulling off a major upset. secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

FWIW, here's @votehub.com's odds of Dems winning various Senate seats. Yellow = "extreme long shots but plausible." Of those, MS, SD & ID have received virtually no national attention...and the latter two are running as independents, so they may prefer not to get national Dem attention anyway.

Some people get into political activism not because they want to change their material circumstances for the better, but because they enjoy righteously condemning everyone who is not as morally pure and radical as they are. You cannot work with these people because they will never be satisfied.

I think tearing down Trump's monstrosities, and scraping all that gold crap off the walls, would be healthy symbolism about recovering the country. In addition, fire all his appointees. He's the guy who wanted Schedule F - the next Dem POTUS should use it, then cancel Schedule F. But use it first.
