Florida's Senate primary is tomorrow. Alexander Vindman's wife told Angie Nixon that she should "buy some professional clothes." Vindman won't debate Nixon. He's lived in FL 3 years. Angie Nixon is a lifelong Floridian who has polled stronger against Ashley Moody. Vote for Angie Nixon tomorrow.
Come chat and listen to Kentucky District 2 Congressional Candidate, Megan Wingfield. Tonight she is on Kensconsin's Tuesday Unfiltered www.youtube.com/live/WKpQI1q...

I’m so relieved Sarafinah is finally getting the care she needs and this nightmare is behind her, but so many families are still going through it. As long as this cruel administration continues its campaign of terror in our communities, we have to keep standing up for our neighbors. bit.ly/4x6xAao
