I grow food on purpose and do politics by accident. Former party chair and so on. The only person on the planet applying Albuquerque street smarts to South Carolina politics. You have to be tough to do good. #Climate #SCpol

In 2022 those of us who were supporting either Connor Lamb or Malcom Kenyatta were sounding the alarms about Shrek and the so-called “progressives” shouted us down. Now he’s all but a Republican.

@ossoff.senate.gov is the ONLY Democratic U.S. Senator up for reelection in a state Trump won.
He’s MAGA’s #1 target in the midterms.
There’s no path back from the brink of authoritarianism without defending this seat. Go to electjon.com & support Jon!

The government can legally scoop up and read Americans' emails and texts, track everywhere they go, and feed huge amounts of data into AI without court oversight. Next month, Congress will have a chance to rein it all in. I'm leading a bipartisan bill to restore real privacy.

Russia Plans an Invasion of the Body Snatchers Russia's war against international law reaches beyond words and now includes the use of military special forces on foreign soil.

Putin is normalizing something extraordinary.

A proposed Russian law could authorize спецназ raids on courts and prisons abroad to free

Kremlin prisoners.
State-directed jailbreaks across Europe.

Hybrid war isn’t only cyber or propaganda anymore.

Eighth graders who do a week of Model UN know basic sh$& like this, for heavens sakes.

How can they be this stupid?

Surely this must mean we can outsmart them?

America once led the world not just with power, but with presence — diplomats who understood regions, built trust, and prevented wars before they started.

Then Donald Trump fired them.
He walked away from alliances.
And hollowed out the institutions that kept Americans safe.

Your Jewish friends and neighbors are tired.

Sometimes we just want you to understand why our community and our synagogues being repeatedly attacked is frightening, without explaining it away because of the Mideast or comparing it to other forms of hate.

Not all who gamble are addicts, but it is an addictive substance.

When casinos became ubiquitous in my home state of New Mexico, many people got hooked, a wave of bankruptcies followed, and “Gamblers anonymous” groups popped up everywhere.

Terrible for a place with generational poverty.

I loved my old gas Honda Fit so much, I would have jumped at the chance of an EV version.

But they weren’t available in my area.

Honda waited too long.

I purchased a Nisson EV and love it.
