“We don’t care about a litmus test, we care if you’re cheering for the home team.” Last week at Lambeau Field, I had the chance to chat with the trailblazing Representative @air152.bsky.social about community, patriotism, and what bonds us fans together beyond the tailgate.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

What to know and what to do after the SCOTUS decision yesterday re DHS’s voter purge. The decision is disappointing and dangerous but likely won’t impact the midterms.  Yet it underscores the role we ALL must play — no one coming to save us but us. Here’s what YOU can do👇
