It's after times. It's existential—rule of law, equal rights, health care access, climate, nuclear arms control. Can we change fast enough?

I wish Secretary Duffy would concentrate on keeping the skies safe and leave the moral hectoring to me. I'm better at it.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

We see this every day, from voters showing up to our events to the grassroots protest that killed the Hollywood Handout. Whether or not Alexis is included in an out-of-state poll, we know she's the best shot Democrats have to beat Lombardo. —Team Alexis
