Fun @runforsomething.net fact: We have already endorsed 200 candidates in 2026.

49% are women, 56% are people of color, 31% are LGBTQIA+, 20% are gen Z, and 38% told us they're renters.

Maybe someone should tell him. Do we have a way to get him information

I started watching this and then couldn’t stop till I found an exact moment it films itself getting clonked and going out of focus. So relatable

RESULT: The AP calls it, that there will be a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller in April (meaning they’ll take the top 2 spots and neither will get 50%).

This is the reddest district in Georgia, though Dems are at least going to get a big overperformance today.

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

The picture where they put them all together is especially deranged, like FLOWER MARKET is a universal in front of any famous urban building

Oh wow, I am actually shocked that this happened. Good to see -- advocates did a ton of work to get attention for this case

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Elizabeth Warren was originally a Republican from Oklahoma and this normie, practical, "why should we pay for this useless, profligate, non-Congressionally approved war" perspective sounds like exactly what you would once have heard from such a person

🌫️🌈 A beautiful, rare sight!

A fog bow appeared Monday near Ridge, Maryland, in St. Mary's County & CWG reader John Gasper captured this stunning photo.

Fog bows are cousins of rainbows and form when sunlight interacts with the tiny droplets in fog, producing a wide, pale rainbow with little color.

Very coherent, and very, dare I say it, small-c conservative in the best sense??
