VP Harris is doing her duty Dear John, While the 2024 presidential election outcome was devastating, the peaceful transfer of power is one of the most fundamental principles of American democracy. It distinguishes our system of government from monarchy or tyranny. Today we would l…

This is just sad, John.

MAGA extremists claim election “stealing” This is just sad, John. MAGA Republicans can’t accept that they were out-organized in CA-45 and have descended into conspiracy theories about Democrats allegedly “stealing” the seat. The CA-45 race has now been certified, and Derek Tran is…
