Courage is the resolve to stand up against denigration, despair, when all surround to belittle and say no.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

The price you pay at the grocery store shouldn't depend on how much the Greedy Few know about you. Corporations are using AI and personal data to figure out how much they can squeeze out of everyday shoppers. Texans deserve fair prices, not algorithms designed to pick their pockets.

Ossoff: "I encourage all of you to reach out to the Collins campaign to ask him how explains the continued production & dissemination of white nationalist and antisemitic propaganda from his property while he runs for the Senate. It's one of the most shocking developments in GA's political history"

Because he knows the GOP is about to lose, Trump is trying to control who wins our elections — but Alaskans will have the final say here. This is a shamelessly partisan attempt to undermine voters by a bunch of losers with no legal role in this process. Voters vote and states certify. That’s it.

Someone is going to have to tell me exactly why the Executive Branch has standing to sue over whom Alaska voters choose to send to the Senate

Seven in 10 Alaska voters are worried about affording gas, groceries and utilities, and they know Repubs are to blame. Mary Peltola is focused on lowering those costs, protecting Alaska fisheries and addressing rural infrastructure needs. Elect Mary Peltola U.S. Senate, Alaska

Those who cheat on their spouses are 2-3 times more likely to be corrupt. You can’t go around saying you’re gonna clean up government when you lived your life in a swamp. My opponent was kicked out of the ministry for being a cheat, a porn addict, and a drunk. His words, not mine.

Trump's impulse control is visibly diminishing every day. There's a very high probability that soon he will physically assault a reporter – more specifically, a female reporter.

When Elon Musk took control of X, he had CBS News chief Bari Weiss write a portion of his ill-fated “Twitter Files”-so you have to wonder how long ago this was planned But the big story is, anti-democracy conservatives want to reshape public opinion until it aligns with their warped worldview

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.
