Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Please do.

Just because someone was once smart enough to get through medical school does not mean they’re smart enough to be a good doctor or a good anything else. Including congressman.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

🚨 While Russia pounded Kyiv overnight, Starlink went DARK on Ukrainian troops. Terminals over 100 mph? Dropped. Missions? Failed. That's what Ukrainian military sources and activist Serhii Sternenko report. One company's switch. One nation's lifeline. Think about that.

This is disgusting, but not unexpected. The Trump administration is putting their thumb on the scales for Putin, despite the fact that it’s Russia violating the energy ceasefire.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
