Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

I grew up in Tampa, 3 yo when this happened and I never learned about it until this post. It explains a lot about the fear and bigotry I saw during grade school in 1971.

“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

LaHood was absent; I showed up. In other news, the sky is blue. You deserve a representative who shows up for you. I’ve done tht across the for the last 19 months, and I will do that as your next Congressman. I’ll meet for another forum or debate with my opponent any time and any place.

Darin LaHood could sign the discharge petition. He won’t. He won’t buck the party. He’s happy to ignore you, the voter. He had his chances to do what’s right for America. He failed

If you’re one of those people who thinks Democrats should be doing more outreach to rural voters #IL16 is a district you can invest in. We’ve got a great candidate, strong ground game & a powerful TV ad on the air. We just need funds for more air time. Links below.
