Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Colton is 19 months old, severely disabled, & Ohio denied him Medicaid. What kind of country makes a baby fight for medical care while politicians slash the programs families depend on? Remember Colton when you vote. He deserves better. So do we. Vote blue early or on Nov. 3.

The latest hot news that we will definitely not be holding a press conference about is that yesterday there were by-elections in three district councils, one city council and one county council and Reform lost in all of them. Our unstoppable march to power continues.
