Went to the quilt museum in Paducah and then tried to empty out Parnassus books. All around a good day. Here's a few of my favorites from the museum. #quiltsky

Paul Nolley won’t sell out to America for party money and PAC bribery. He hasn’t built a multimillion dollar war chest intended to silence critics.Darin LaHood has done just that in IL16 Do you want someone who represents your interests not wealthy donors? Vote Paul Nolley Time for integrity

If you need to catch up on the whole controversy with GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt not knowing his sports and embarrassing himself while attempting to slander a public servant today, I made a 20 min. video explainer. Yes, 20 minutes. And I enjoyed the hell out of making it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfjN...

25 years ago, 2,977 people were killed on 9/11. I was 12, watching those images at school, not yet understanding how much our country had changed. Today we remember the victims, honor the heroes, and stand together without surrendering the liberties and values that define us.

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.
