Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Trump's trade policy is fixed in a "me-vs-you" worldview. This blindness to the holistic nature of trade is crippling.

Greater Lafayette Indivisible says it extended an invitation to Rep. Jim Baird (R-District 4) to join Sunday's town hall at the West Lafayette Public Library, but Baird did not attend.

So, they held the town hall without him.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
