Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

The argument here isn’t simply that Democrats should undo what Trump changed. It’s that they should already be drafting the healthcare and anti-corruption legislation they’d want to move immediately with a congressional majority. The first 100 hours start before you have them.
Democrats are about to win a majority. Here’s how they can keep it.
Democrats are poised to win the House and Senate, but we’ll need to keep the momentum going.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against?
Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile.
It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall.
Those are places where Americans march.
