I had a stroke. I survived it. I'm truly so grateful to still be here today. I know politics can be nasty, but even then, I could *never* imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges.

At a beer garden in deep red Porter,TX a 67 year-old Coast Guard vet commented on my husband’s Beto O'Rourke shirt, “I don’t agree with all of his positions, but I am voting for him. Can’t let our democracy be taken down. I spent 30 years fighting for democracy.”

No one is coming to save you. There is no white knight. It's Trump's party, and no matter how much the donor class, the Chamber of Commerce, and National Review want it, Trump owns GOP electds.

Whoa! Here it is. The moment in 2018 when Donald Trump removed the Dodd-Frank regulations that would have prevented the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Don’t let anyone forget this.

Do you want your child’s teacher who is managing a classroom of 30+ excited and emotional beings while under immense job and societal pressures, to carry a gun? What if they got as angry as this former teacher turned congress person?

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him
