Why the midterms are crucial: Flipping the House means real oversight — hearings, votes that never reach the floor now.
To all who think they’ll just steal the election: officials are war-gaming interference. Our job is to VOTE.
Don’t give up (that’s what they want).

“I Will Always Love You” wasn’t a love song — it was Dolly’s goodbye to Porter Wagoner, who launched her career, then sued her when she left.
Years later, when he struggled, she bought and gave back his company.
They reconciled and was there when he died.
Such grace. I want to be more like that.
