Why we can win the midterms

The commentators all said that we would get crushed by GOP legislatures and that gerrymandering alone could cost us the House. It didn’t happen.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

Trump’s love affair with autocracy

some thoughts on Trump’s statement

Adam will always be fighting for you

BREAKING: Supreme Court retirement

I fear our democracy can, and will, be lost if we don’t act
