“Have you ever come home
From being chewed like a bone
All day long
Have you ever been lifted
By the sound of your
Own song
Have you ever been tall
As a mountain
And kicked your knees
If you have
You’re just like me”
- Break Even, The Regulators
If you’re reading this, I need your support. I am on the fringe target lists for flip seats in Texas this year, which is already a crazy place to be after starting this campaign knowing what a long shot it was.
I have built a well oiled ground game over the past 18 months. The long shot hopes are now ACTUALLY in reach.
This race could come down to an extra e-mail, a few more yard signs, or one more well placed FB or radio ad. And I am running on financial fumes.
Federal races are exciting. Federal races get the dollars, the ads, and the spots on CNN.
LOCAL races are where change happens. So if you see this and you believe that my community deserves my fighting spirit, please consider giving.
$5, $10, $50,000… you know, whatever you’re comfortable with. 😅
Shamelessly asking for a @HunterBiden RT here.

Susan Collins still uses 9/11 to justify her disastrous vote on the Iraq War.
The problem is: it was Al-Qaeda who attacked us, Senator. They were in Afghanistan, not Iraq. But that didn't stop you from still sending me to both.
Graham Platner: “The fact that Jeff Bezos exists and the fact that I know someone in Sullivan who works three jobs and pays 60% of her monthly income in rent, those two things are directly connected. There is no metric of hard work that justifies a billionaire when people in Eastern Maine work three jobs just to put food on the table”
Labor is the backbone of this campaign. Grateful to announce today the endorsement of APWU of Wisconsin. In Congress, I'll work to pass the PRO Act and support the Vote at Home Act, to make it easier, not harder for folks to cast their ballot. You can count on me to reject any effort to privatize our postal service.
Rent.
Not housing policy. Not the abstraction. Rent. The check that goes out the first of every month before the food, before the medicine, before the gas, before the kid’s shoes. The check that disappears into an LLC that disappears into a holding company that disappears into a fund that sits on a server in Delaware and answers to no one.
A third of this country pays rent. Most of them pay more than they can afford. They are working two jobs to send money to a man they will never meet, who lives in a city they will never visit, who has decided their apartment is worth eight percent more this year than last because the algorithm said so.
That is the fix. Day one.
Cap the algorithmic price-fixing the landlord cartels have been running in plain sight. End the corporate purchase of single-family homes. Tax the institutional ownership of residential property at a rate that makes it unprofitable. Use the revenue to build. Not vouchers. Build.
You want to know why people are angry. You want to know why they will vote for anyone who promises to burn it down. Look at what they pay every month to live indoors. Look at what is left after.
Everything else can wait a week.
This man is a troll who says that any election won by Democrats is "stolen." He also oversees national election security for Homeland Security.
He's been pushing the ridiculous "California fraud" narrative.
He studied at Moscow State University. 1/
The New York Times is actively working to elect Susan Collins. That’s the reason for all the smears. Just look at this piece praising Collins while attacking Graham Platner.
