The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

"Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has banned further testing of symptomatic farm workers after several tested positive for H5N1. Internal messages warned CDC staff: "This is your last warning talk to the media about bird flu, and you'll be fired and blacklisted from public health"

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

It’s beyond insanity at this point. And so infuriating not to be able to stop it. The Republicans in the House and Senate have lost their minds and courage to do anything unless they too are all behind Project 2025 and just want to see it all burn down.
