This is a very serious, and effective, intervention in the 2026 midterms by Barack Obama. It’s an important message for Virginia that has national significance.

Congress needs to check and balance Donald Trump.
Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA): “Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East?“
Unfortunately, no.
This is an unnecessary, undeclared, unauthorized and unconstitutional war.

Got tix- can’t wait!
February 20th sometimes sneaks up on me. It changed my life 35 years ago today. I carry the lessons I learned still. Leaders should feel the weight of the decisions they make. I learned that when I sent two men on a mission and they didn’t come back. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rep. Shirley Chisholm transformed American politics with presidential bids waged merely a dozen years apart: Chisholm in 1972, Jackson in 1984 (and again in 1988). Between them, they created a new politics that imagined rainbow coalitions inspired by robust progressivism.

Among his many important legacies: "He advanced a comprehensive—and morally coherent—argument for shifting American foreign policy away from military interventionism, nuclear brinksmanship, and Cold War posturing and toward diplomacy, cooperation, and dramatically reduced Pentagon spending."
“Jesse Jackson Gave Peace a Chance!”
One of the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s great legacies is his record, as a man of faith and a presidential candidate, of embracing anti-war movements, advocating for diplomacy over militarism, and working for deep cuts in Pentagon spending in order to fund human needs.
Tom Tiffany says Democrats’ focus on Epstein to “change the subject in any way that they can for electoral gain.” I disagree. This is about holding the wealthy and powerful to account.
