Take a minute to listen to just part of this public comment about how Head Start helps families and changes lives. Trump is trying to tear Head Start apart. We can't let him.

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

Today we celebrate the PDFing of "Declaration FINAL v3 USE THIS ONE - SIGNED.docx" (Jefferson's draft was heavily edited by the Committee, then again by Congress, and he was big mad about it.)

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

(5/5) In effect, the USPS would be regulating elections and who gets to vote. The result: If YOU rely on mail voting, you could be disenfranchised. The USPS is accepting public feedback until July 2, 2026. Check out the link below for more information on how to fight back ⤵️

Reality bath from @gelliottmorris.com: Given Biden approval rating & inflation/consumer sentiment, "the surprise of the [2024] election is that Harris did as well as she did...the Dem nominee was on track to lose the popular vote by 4 points. She lost by 1.5." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-dnc-au...

gelliottmorris.comThe real reason Democrats lost in 2024The DNC "autopsy" omits the biggest reason Democrats lost in 2024. In doing so, it fails to prepare the party for the future

They started the fight. Texas. Florida. North Carolina. Gerrymandered maps, rigged districts, stolen seats. Virginia can answer back — but only on April 21. Early voting is open NOW. Show up. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes

Someone asked me why this Virginia special election matters if I don't live there. Because the House majority is built seat by seat — and Virginia is where we fight back right now. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes
