It is clear that Democrats are set to sweep control of Congress in free and fair elections. It is also clear that Trump and the GOP are working to make sure the elections are not free and fair. I founded Democracy Docket to help you stay informed to fight back. demdock.com/4w6emld

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

How is possible that GOP Senator Eric Schmitt had a whole ass team working on today's hearing with Jack Smith and not one of them--including Schmitt--knows the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks? Do none of these people watch sports?

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Abdul El-Sayed is being attacked for having an MD and PhD as if that's some kind of crime, by people who don't care Mike Rogers lives in South Florida. Imagine the horror: a politician who actually understands how healthcare works, from the inside out.

Trump is a US president who doesn't understand what a trade deficit is. This should be impossible. What's even worse is that he is incapable of learning even simple things. He's trapped in his own little hell of malignant willful ignorance.

When you call President Trump a "rapist" or
"pedophile," you're not only insulting your president - but also supporters like me.
After all, if you think I'm the type of person who would vote for a rapist — you must not think highly of me.
Is that the message you want to send?

As gas prices in Michigan hit $5/gallon and diesel hits a record $6.59, it shouldn't be this hard to buy gas, groceries, or afford healthcare. Our economy has been rigged against the very people who make it work. I'm running for Senate to change that.

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.

In a major Texas Senate race endorsement, Hall of Fame former Texas Ranger David Maxwell spoke out against Ken Paxton. After blowing the whistle on Paxton's corruption in 2020 and being fired, Maxwell is endorsing James Talarico for US Senate. "Texans deserve a Senator who serves the people."

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."
