45% should feel a lot bigger than it does. Millions of us identify as Independent, but the two major parties still have the candidates, organizations and infrastructure built around them. We’re changing that and putting people over party.

80% disapproval isn't a partisan problem. It's a sign that something about the way Congress works isn't working for most of us. Having more Independent candidates means more competition and gives us another way to demand better.

A record 45% of Americans now identify as political independents, tied with Republicans and Democrats at 27% each. Highest share Gallup has recorded since 1988. The generational gap is stark: 56% of Gen Z vs. 40% of Gen X at the same age. #independentvoters #2026midterms #iamindependent

A lot of us agree the current political system isn’t working. But saying it isn’t enough. Independent candidates give us a way to act by bringing both sides together to work on our most serious issues. Follow and share if you’re ready to help turn that belief into action. #ilc

Our politics gives us plenty of reasons to fear the future, but Independent voices give us a reason to believe in it again. #election2026 #independentcandidate #independent #ilc

Three Independents can change the balance of power in Congress. The best part? They have no party boss to answer to and will work across the aisle to make our voices heard.

$40 trillion in debt. That’s the cost of political dysfunction. We need leaders focused on solving problems, not arguing over who gets the blame and who gets the credit. #iamindependent #ilc

Independent leadership isn’t about standing alone. It’s about having the freedom, and the leverage, to bring both sides together. One independent vote can change the equation. I know because I’ve lived it. In a closely divided Congress, an Independent doesn’t have to be on the outside looking in. When neither party owns your vote, both sides have to earn it. That is real leverage—and used responsibly, it can bring Republicans and Democrats together to get things done. That’s what we’re building with the @Independent_LC: leaders who answer to the people, work with both sides and put country before party. Read more from @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/08/26/us/po…

In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets. People rejected this. We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive. The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.

The US National Debt has increased by over $550 billion since July 1st. The Federal Government continues to borrow from our future to spend money like drunken sailors today. Everything they said about "balancing the budget" was a lie.
July: The Federal Government took in $334 billion and spent $766 billion. That's a $432 billion deficit in just one month. Don't try this at home.
