I know Marshall has been trying to convince Kansans that Trump is on the ballot, but even I wasn’t ready for the fake tan and red tie.

Our opponent in the race has stooped to new lows with his latest ad that makes false, unsubstantiated claims and even uses unauthorized images of former staff. Politics is divisive enough right now without people making up stuff and using imagery without people’s permission.

What backslash Jessica? 🧐😇So we are banning all meats? If Duck goes all goes next? …I’ve been through this in California…..just lets concentrate on things that matter…..cars with children are being shot by ICE, immigrants working in farms and restaurants being deported many with green cards and even citizens…so many other issues! Yes let’s bring the ducks now….one more issue for restaurants to handle!😅🕊️
Heavy hitter getting into the foie gras ban ballot initiative debate. I would guess a majority of chefs in DC are against a ban, but they don’t want to say so publicly for fear of backlash.

Nobody really wants to talk about the health providers but … it’s a problem
The Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association says that AI is already driving *up* healthcare costs, as hospitals use the technology to find instances where they can bill more for the same level of care. bcbs.com/about-us/associatio…

Being a Hill staffer is not easy. You do have to work with toxic bosses. & you’re severely underpaid & under resourced. If actual abuse, you should talk to someone & get help. But going to the NYT because you have a disagreement with your boss is juvenile. Grow up or leave.

Please delete this. This post breaks my heart. I see college kids cheering on their football team. I see Texans.
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

Being a Democratic politician who decides to speak at Trump’s midterm convention is like boarding the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

The Democratic Party's most reliable demographic is Black voters. The second most reliable is Jewish voters. Why are prominent people in the far left going after both?

I hate to be that guy, but between this, Peltola leading in most of her polls in Alaska, and Sand being up by 5 in Iowa, its pretty obvious that moderates are in fact, more electable. If we got some progressive saying wacky shit this race would be a grueling tossup right now…

Angie Craig says Democrats need to fight harder, listen better, and deliver for working families. Now the lesbian Minnesota congresswoman is making her case for the U.S. Senate. Read Metro Weekly's in-depth interview. metroweekly.com/2026/08/angi…

Angie is the true anti-establishment candidate. - battled the establishment to win a tough congressional seat - first lesbian mother in Congressional history and first openly lgbt Minnesota congressperson. - took on her own congressional leadership to win chair of Ag cmte
🚨New poll shows Rep. Angie Craig taking the lead over Peggy Flanagan just days before the Minnesota Senate primary. Minnesotans are looking for a proven fighter who can stand up to Trump and deliver results from Day 1. That’s @AngieCraigMN.
