If you want to commit a crime and get away with it. Do it in a car. Everyone drives. So our justice system is lenient on negligent behavior behind the wheel. Even if it leads to death.

ALT A group of spectators is standing and sitting on folding chairs along the sidelines of a sports field. Some are gathered around strollers and portable wagons. In the background, a black pickup truck is parked near the field. A building with Ford and Mohawk logos is visible in the distance, under a clear blue sky.

Love this phrasing: "Democratic bruiser"
BREAKING: Democratic bruiser Congressman-elect Richard Ojeda unleashes a VOLCANIC takedown of Trump's failed Iran War: "The good guys do not bomb children in schools!"
This guy is quickly becoming a personal favorite of ours...
"You served in Iraq," began journalist Major Garrett during a conversation on his show "The Takeout."
"Yes," said Ojeda, who served in the Army for 24 years.
"You said that war was sold on a lie."
"Yes."
"What is your attitude about the Iran war?" asked Garrett.
"It's unacceptable. We need to end this war now," Ojeda said bluntly. "We're not the good guys. The good guys don't bomb children in schools. The good guys do not bomb children in hospitals. You know, we're in the wrong here, and that's just the way that it is."
We couldn't agree more and it's so refreshing to hear an elected official state the facts in such stark, unapologetic fashion. Trump launched this war to forward Israel's national interests. Iran posed no threat to us and our own intelligence agencies concluded that they weren't pursuing nuclear weapons. This is an illegal war of aggression that has accomplished nothing beyond pointless suffering and death and higher gas prices.
"We were committed to a war with no exit strategy," said Ojeda. "You know, and what's really the worst part about this is how dare you, how dare you send troops into harm's way while you're actively trying to gut the Veterans Administration, which is what every single one of those people that make it home are going to rely on for the rest of their lives!"
"You believe this administration is gutting the Veterans Administration?" asked Garrett.
"Absolutely. Absolutely," said Ojeda without hesitation.
"In what way?" asked Garrett.
"Period! I mean, cutting funding from the VA, trying to make it harder for people to be able to file their claims, cutting the Veterans Administration in terms of jobs," said Ojeda. "I mean, goodness gracious, DOGE fired 7,000 jobs. The big horrible bill targets like 86,000."
"You know, how dare you claim to support the veteran?" he continued. "You know, these are the people that will knock a person down to take a picture with the veteran coming off of a plane from a combat zone. But when it comes to standing up for those veterans, they're quiet, and that's unacceptable!"
And Ojeda isn't just talk. He's already publicly demanding that Hegseth be impeached for his horrific conduct as Defense Secretary and will be aggressively supporting the efforts to remove him once Democrats take power in January.
Ojeda is exactly the kind of no-nonsense, rhetorical brawler that Democrats need in the House right now. We can't wait to see what he does once he's sworn in.
Please ❤️ and share if you're becoming a big fan of Richard Ojeda!

Richard Ojeda had some of the best ads when he ran in 2018. He would put his phone number at the end of them, and he’d pick up if you called it

“Beto lost. But having his name on the ballot got us enough down ballot votes to flip a red house seat in Round Rock. That new representative was a young teacher named James Talarico.”

Love this!
Speechwriting isn’t a lost art; it’s an adaptable one. From 3-hour stem-winders to radio fireside chats to televised Reagan/JFK/Obama to the digital-friendly approach, the practice evolves to meet people where they are.
Words matter. Eloquence travels. On we march.
“We ended up developing this very interesting approach, which combines speechwriting and social media,” @AntonioAEsparza said.
Too often, speechwriting and digital operate in silos. A candidate gives a speech, and only then are clips identified.
But Antonio offers a new strategy: building clippable moments into the speechwriting process from the start.

A bad year for two groups of people who think they’re much smarter than everybody else — the “voting changes nothing” crowd and the “this is the year to smash the two party system with independents” crowd.
