This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

As Democrats strategize to win back swing voters ahead of 2026, one thing is clear from this chart: they should take cues from those outperforming their districts—not those falling behind.

Today, we unequivocally and unapologetically reaffirm, to the United States of America and to the World, the following undeniable and indisputable facts. We ask all Americans, including all elected officials from all Parties and all levels of Government, to join us by sharing and reposting this message for the World to see:
🇺🇸 Three years ago today, Vladimir Putin illegally invaded Ukraine without justification and without provocation.
🇺🇸 The United States of America stands for the Rule of Law, and respects and defends the borders and territorial sovereignty of all Freedom-Loving Nations.
🇺🇸 Ukraine is an independent, sovereign, and freedom-loving nation, and is an ally of the United States of America and the Free World.
🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin, through his illegal invasions, genocide, kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians, including women and children, is an enemy of the United States of America and the Free World.
🇺🇸 The United States of America stands with Democracies and opposes Dictatorships.
🇺🇸 Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Legitimately Elected President of Ukraine through a free and fair election.
🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin is an Unelected Dictator who imprisons his political opponents and who has never held a free and fair election.
🇺🇸 The Ukrainian election has been delayed because Ukraine is under daily relentlessly bombings, over 200 per day, by Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine is in a State of 24/7 Martial Law.
🇺🇸 Ukraine will hold their elections as soon as Vladimir Putin stops his unprovoked, unjustified daily bombings inside Ukraine.
🇺🇸 If Putin is rewarded for his illegal invasion and genocide, this will serve as a green-light incentive to other Dictators, such as CCP Chairman Xi Jinping, to pursue their own conquests (i.e. Taiwan), which will lead to more instability across the Globe.
🇺🇸 Dictators like Vladimir Putin are the Adult Versions of the School Yard Bullies that we all confronted in Grade School. And they must be dealt with in the same exact way. There is Peace through Strength, and there is War through Weakness. There is no magical third option.

My name is Reyna Walters-Morgan and I'm proud to be the DNC's new Vice Chair for Civic Engagement & Voter Participation!
I'm looking to connect with as many fellow Democrats as I can to help amplify all of the work we're doing — will you follow, repost and spread the word?
In view of the ever-changing challenges and emerging theats all around the world, a 40% cut in our National Defense over five years would effectively be unilateral disarmament.
Whatever happened to Peace Through Strength?
“The President’s power to see that the laws are faithfully executed refutes the idea that he is to be a lawmaker.”

Mayors are going to lead the way in rebuilding the Democratic Party, and I’m honored to have the endorsement of over 60 current and former mayors.
It’s time we put our mayors at the forefront of our messaging and of our party.

Here's why I'm different from the other candidates in this race:
1. I'm the best operational turnaround leader in our party.
2. I've chaired a national committee of elected officials.
3. I've been an elected official as a City Councilman, Mayor, and Governor.

My name is Martin O'Malley, and I am running to be the next DNC Chair.
We need to rebuild our party and reconnect with hardworking people across our country.
It's time to get back to the party of FDR. The party that says there is nothing to fear but fear itself.
Rickey Cole retweeted
Fresh off announcing a run for D.N.C. chair, former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley offers a blunt diagnosis of the party’s malaise, muses about Kamala Harris’s future, and asks how 8 million Democratic voters simply disappeared.

As I shared on @Morning_Joe, the change Democrats need to win is a return to our true selves. The other guy’s twisted talent is fear; ours is hope—hope for tomorrow, driven by the actions we take today to strengthen every family’s economic well-being. #DNCChair

Yes. If we are going to create anything resembling a just society, we need to get big money out of politics and elect candidates from the working class.
The status quo is leading us to oligarchy.

I'm running for #DNCChair! We must connect our party with the most important place in America — the kitchen table of every family’s home. Jobs, Opportunity, and Economic Security for all. Getting things done. Hope. A 50 state strategy to win back our country. On to victory!

One problem with the DNC is that when the Ds have the WH, the DNC is just an extension of the WH. The DNC must be a 365/50-state Base-Building organization, somewhat insensitive to the latest race, but highly sensitive to educating Americans about Democratic Values.

5/ Does racism explain part of the attraction of the right's nativism? Of course. But mass deportation is a (terrible) response to Americans' real sense they are helpless in the face of global forces (like increased migration). The left largely ignores this pain.
