I like the idea of a #PurpleCaucus made up of senators and representatives declaring themselves:

Independents

Even a small number, working together, could shift votes and make both right and left come toward the center.

Their platform would be to promote what the majority of Americans want.

My law firm is currently litigating 11 redistricting cases in 10 states. We are also litigating an additional 54 voting and election cases in 27 states.

This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

The ACA subsidies expire 12/31.

Legislation by Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) would extend the credits 1 year. It has support of 14 other Republicans.

Hakeem Jeffries petition now has 212 of 218 required signatures.

The Senate was promised a vote on this - within the next 10 days.

Just do it !!

Aftyn Behn has actually gone up in the polls since Republicans began attacking her as “radical.” Behn, a Tennessee Democrat with down-home style and a focus on affordability, fairness and clarity in a time of chaos, has cut through the noise of the attack ads by speaking directly to voters.

The Democrat has a real chance to flip a deep-red congressional seat. In an exclusive interview, she explains why her bid is shaking up the politics of 2025 (and maybe 2026).
