For the first time since May 2025, First Past the Post is consistently harming Reform UK. Between May 2025 and May 2026, Reform won 37% of seats on 29% of the vote. Since May, they've won just 22% of seats despite only falling to 25% of the vote.

Today, I’m thinking about the families who lost loved ones that day, the hostages and their families who endured years of uncertainty, and the communities that are still carrying the scars of that attack.

Today marks three years since Hamas perpetrated the October 7 terrorist attack that killed nearly 1,200 Israelis, took 251 more hostage, and set off a chain of events that those in the Middle East — and back home in Michigan — are still grappling with.

Prices are crushing families. People are losing their health care. Someone’s child is serving in a war we should not be in. If you aren’t motivated to vote for yourself, vote for them.

Today marks three years since the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. On October 7, we mourn the innocent men, women, and children whose lives were stolen. We remember those who lost their lives, stand with the survivors and the families forever changed, and pray for a lasting peace.

When I visited the Nova music festival site, the impact of October 7th hit home. Three years on, the violence continues, and we have seen an appalling rise in antisemitism here and around the world. We must stand with the Jewish community, stamp out antisemitism, and work for a lasting peace.

When Trump last sent agents to Illinois, they murdered a father and shot an innocent woman in broad daylight — then attempted to cover it up. We need to keep reducing violence, but this President does not make it easier. If only he hadn’t defunded the very programs that help.

Voters picked Trump because they correctly thought Biden wanted them to be unselfish, and they hated that; what they are now remembering the hard way is that selfishness is also stupid.

perhaps because of their own media diet, pundits saw the 2024 election as an overwhelming rebuke of "woke." but ACTUAL VOTERS were not thinking in those terms. their calculation was overwhelmingly, "biden/harris is responsible for inflation, trump will make me rich."
