It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

🚨Trump's proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health are dangerous. Our loved ones are waiting for lifesaving treatments and cures for cancer & other illnesses. Slashing funding to this critical agency means no new research, no new cures and no medical advances. youtube.com/shorts/PXPU7...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

The Eric Adams criminal case raises significant concerns about the independence of the Justice Department and the role of political influence in prosecutions. 💡 The key question: Was there an improper quid pro quo—and if so, will the Court do anything about it?
