Happy Sunday! Ready for some good news? Today I wrote about our country’s success in preventing the spread of rabies. And when we’ve really committed to it, we haven’t just contained this stuff. We’ve erased it. There’s a few lessons we can take from this and apply to our politics. (Link below)

Way to go California! California just closed another door on outside military deployments. Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 1354, which blocks other states from sending their military forces into California without the Governor’s permission.

Trump is delusional if he thinks his name will remain anywhere in Washington DC after a Democrat is elected. Everything he built will be torn down. Trump will be a skidmark of the underwear of History.

Trump on high gas prices: "It's a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done. Remember that — it's a little more, even if it was a lot more."

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Mike Johnson sending the House home to avoid a vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment is a cowardly disgrace…and another reminder why these anti-democratic, pro-war, pro-Trump, Epstein file coverup enablers and Republican failures need to be sent home permanently.

I know I am not the median voter. But when I watch Trump performances like the one we just endured in North Carolina, I can't escape the feeling that our problems go much deeper than "affordability" and we're whistling past the graveyard if we reduce our politics to that issue.

Imagine having grifted millions and millions of dollars off your father’s political career like Don Jr, including government contracts in multiple businesses where you have an ownership stake, and STILL having a Russian oligarch pay for your lavish wedding. Just obscene.

To be clear, the orange felon is responsible for the Kennedy Center being on the brink of financial ruin due to his constant immoral petulant need to install his disgusting name on someone’s memorial who he is in fact jealous of and his insidious desire to demolish it if he doesn’t get his way.
