Beth Macy lost. Democrats flipped Congress. Same night. Fighting doesn’t guarantee a win, but you can’t win if you don’t take the chance.

Bucket list: get on @LastWeekTonight✅
Should’ve been more specific.
I'm in "misleading transphobic attack ads.”
Ten years of being publicly trans, and finally: a disguise.
Republicans have spent $280 million to make you afraid.
Tomorrow, make it a terrible investment. Vote.
The danger when strength is built on loyalty over truth.
Moral courage is a choice. Tomorrow, you can make it at the ballot box.
A Starfleet captain, Joe McCarthy’s fixer, and Saddam’s generals intersect in quite a story. Read the full article at: breefram.substack.com/p/whit…

A Republican women's group is behind a fake Texas transgender student union that sent text messages and brochures to as many as three million voters this month.
The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund and someone named John Braun were identified as those responsible for the scheme that riled up voters just as early voting began, according to legal filings made public late Thursday. The identities were ordered to be revealed by a Travis County judge. bit.ly/48q1oVa
Welcome to Jurassic Yard. 🦖
I just wandered in to see what the dinosaurs were up to.
Turns out they're doing their homework to learn what's on the ballot. Clever girls.
What's on yours?

🔴 Behind me, you can see Oleshky: the town no one wanted to hear about nine months ago.
Now, the world knows but the ordeal is not over.
The next week ceasefire will be used for a “press tour” to whitewash Russia's war crimes.
Don't fall for Russian propaganda.
When I read that lawmakers were warning that any political figures supportive of Ukraine were likely on Russia’s radar, I knew I had to bring in my favorite movie.

A few days after arriving in Kyiv, I caught myself thinking: it's just Shaheds.
Just.
That’s how quickly the abnormality of war can start becoming routine. My first story from Ukraine: Mostly Sunny, With Scattered Drones.

I'm joining the Power Lunch with Nancy Lacore, who just won her primary in SC-01.
We both wore the uniform and left it sooner than we planned. Neither of us is standing down. Service just changes shape.
Join us live. June 26, at noon.

One year out from my last day in uniform, I’ve had a lot of endings that close chapters, not the story. It doesn’t mean those endings don’t still hurt, they do. I choose the smile anyway. Here’s why.

Between the hiking, altitude, disc golf, and trying to heed my wife’s admonition of “don’t fall off a mountain,” my downtime in Colorado was perfect for revisiting some of the books I recommend most often and thinking about the future.

Community Highlight: Northern Virginia Food Rescue
The campaign may be over, but the work to build stronger communities goes on.
During my campaign, I wanted to highlight people and organizations doing incredible work every day to help our communities thrive. We started recording these conversations right before the redistricting ruling and didn’t get the chance to share them.
I don’t want that work to stop. So today I’m starting with Dr. Megan Franco and Northern Virginia Food Rescue in Manassas.
Food insecurity exists even in some of the wealthiest areas of Virginia. @novafoodrescue is tackling it with an innovative network of food donors, volunteers, and distribution partners. They’ve already distributed more than 30 million meals into the community!
Watch their story. Check out their work. And consider getting involved.
Who should we highlight next? If you know someone whose story should be told, send me a suggestion or make a connection.
