So powerful and so needed at this awful time.

As I posted here the other day, with Republicans it's about "me"; with Democrats it's about "we".

Jake gets it. I hope more brainwashed republican cultists realize they are on the side of evil and repent.

Great ad indeed!

try being transgender in a small town, for example

btw, I live in a metroplex and I help my neighbors who are on SNAP

it's not a "small town" thing, it's a Democratic thing, it's just being DECENT

for shirking their constitutional duty, unleashing this hell (Big Beautiful Bill, ICE) on the country and people (more than you think) know it. They could win seats in some unexpected places, 'cause as bad as things are now, they're going to be much worse in a year, and most people of either party will know who to blame.

My state, Tennessee, has the worst voter turnout in the country, and it seems to me that the Dems have just quit trying here.

I had SNAP when we used paper
certificates with the dollar amount on them. Sure helped out my family.

Make him and his caring be on many billboards this Christmas.

He has a lot of messages there.
