The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Justice Department's efforts to seize access to sensitive voter data nationwide. Judges had already blocked the DOJ in 26 out of 26 states from forcibly collecting this information, and it's now prohibited from amassing voter data anywhere in the country.
