Texas Democrats did something bold

They just broke quorum to prevent Republicans from having enough members present to hold a vote.   Herbert, it’s Beto O’Rourke here. Republicans have drawn new congressional maps designed to take five Democratic-held seats in Texas—not by earning more votes, but by manipulating the syste…

Let me be clear

I’m running for Congress to protect your benefits.   Herbert, Earlier this month, Elise Stefanik voted for Donald Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill. If you ask me, the only thing that’s big about this bill is how big the impacts will be on the North Country – and they won’t be good.…
