I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M
On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to

Wab Kinew reacts to Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario: "You know when a rock band is really over the hill and you see them in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago? I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how.

The single most impactful social/cultural development over the last decade (that virtually no retrospectives of "woke" have engaged in) is the new elite consensus that moral judgement is itself inherently illegitimate.
not only that, they are demanding that they not be called racist when they are observed to be signing up to support the racist

People like Natalie Harp are why the second Trump term has been a total and complete disaster. He's a senile midwit who has surrounded himself with lickspittle extremists because no one else can stand working for him.
Talking about Natalie Harp gets that message started to the normies.

Hey Virginia, ICE appears to be moving its BWI route to Dulles. Two round-up flights of shackled captives in the last week.
And their flights out of Richmond have picked up recently, too.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday.
Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time.
if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.
