Mike Rogers is a lot like Dave McCormick, a carpetbagger who would vote 100% of the time with trump’s agenda.
I’m not fond of Abdul El-Sayed. I think he’s arrogant & his finances are shady. But on the issues most important to me, he will be a reliable vote on my side.

Instead of over analyzing the first hour of early vote from Travis county Texas, you should knock a packet for @Hbeckhaas, @JoshShapiroPA, and @ChrisForPA instead

We strongly disagree with the Beacon Coalition’s endorsement of Rogers. We had no knowledge of these plans and are not funding this work. We have been clear since the end of the Democratic primary and said it repeatedly: we believe El-Sayed must win this race because Donald Trump cannot have another rubber stamp in the Senate. Third Way stands united behind our Senate Democratic nominees. A Democratic Senate majority is an essential check on Trump, and we are counting on El-Sayed to hand Mike Rogers his second defeat.

Hey so this is absolutely terrifying
ProPublica: Trump Appointees Wanted a Voting Machine Hacked
A few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it.
The appointees wanted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to procure the machine, examine it and report back the findings so they could be given to the White House, according to two former administration officials with knowledge of the request.

I’m in a three/four hour meeting and while we’re not breaking for lunch, we did take a decent chunk of time to talk about the Jalen Hurts news.
Prayers up for him 🙏

Here's how the 50 states rank in healthcare performance in 2025, per the Commonwealth Fund.
There's a clear pattern: Democratic-led states generally outperform Republican-led states, with some notable exceptions.

Hot take: yard signs on the side of the road or in public spaces are the dumbest thing of all time. They accomplish nothing beyond visual litter.
Signs in front of houses are actually impactful because that’s a neighbor saying “I like that dude“

Gen-Z, throughout our ENTIRE lifetime, we have only seen a broken PA legislature held hostage by Senate Rs. Let’s take our lives back from those who look to make them less libertus, less healthy, & more expensive.
There’s something scary in Harrisburg… and it’s called the Senate Graveyard. There are over 400 headstones in their evergrowing cemetery and if we don’t elect a Trifecta this November, it’s only going to get bigger.

I don’t give a flying fuck if the polls say Democrats are winning by a landslide. Your ass better still get out and vote.
