Yes, please.
I'm listening to a great podcast called "Right Now with Perry Bacon." He's interviewing Stanford poli. sci. professor Adam Bonica who suggests a winning platform for Dems going forward is Anti-Corruption - no stock trading for legislators, no accepting $$ from millionaires/billionaires & much more.

An interesting thing here, given the news, is that the secretary of education is the defendant in a suit accusing her of turning a blind eye to the operations of a child molestation ring that, there is no dispute, operated within her business from the 1970s to the 1990s
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.
At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Lovely way to brush off a gruesome, sadistic murder as a small faux pas while simultaneously blaming the victim.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
