Mom died six years ago today. I’m beyond grateful that she instilled in me the importance of voting, informing myself, and being involved. She continues to inform my involvement as well as my voting habits. scotturbanowski.substack.com/p/2026-gener...

Thanks to Mallory McMorrow for all she’s done! Also, if you already voted absentee for Mallory, You can get a new ballot and vote for Abdul or Haley. Just go to your city or township clerk’s office and have your ballot spoiled.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.
