It is up to our local politicians to be held accountable if they do not protect every voter's right to vote and to demand recounts if the results look questionable.

Here you go. Were 30,000 fraudulent republican votes added to the total at the end of the Tennessee election, so that the Democrat didn’t win???
This is as important as gerrymandering if it’s being used by one party to defeat another party.

Higgins' success was a major moment for Democrats, who have defeated GOP rivals in several 2025 off-year elections. It could also spell trouble for Republicans and President Donald Trump, who endorsed Higgins’ opponent, Emilio González.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's downward spiral

If @crockett.house.gov combines her fight fire with fire towards trump with a laser focus on affordability issues that Texans are concerned about, she can win.
"There are those that say, ‘Ain’t no way; we done tried it 50 kinds of ways," said Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who is hoping to become the first Texas Democrat to win statewide since 1994. "Let me be clear. Y’all ain’t never tried it the J.C. way."

Jasmine Crockett has the fire, the passion, the words to lash out at trump. If she combines that fight fire with fire passion with a focus on affordability issues for Texans she can win. When she opens her campaign website, I will be switching my monthly donation to her in the House to the Senate.
The Podbros and the Wonkbros have been screaming about the Dems needing fighters but when it comes to Jasmine Crockett, SUDDENLY they have a problem…I think we all know what’s at play here.
