Great to hear! We need intelligent people to remove the GOP from power and reverse their repressive, selfish, religious, stupid and ignorant policies and restore reality, facts and evidence to policy development. Fuck Trump and the GOP.

This is great! Fabulous story to get out there. So when Sarah and Tim say dems are doing nothing, can they please consider these activities?

Grateful to learn about 314- Thank you! Here in central CA, we have Dr Jasmeet Bains, currently in the State Assembly, running in the Dem primary to take on vulnerable Repub Rep Valadao in CA-22. Approx 67% of residents in CA-22 are currently Medicaid recipients.

Thank you, Jill! This is the kind of good news we've been waiting for. IMO, If folks have a chance to vote for this kind of 314 caliber human being, I think they may finally turn their backs on Trump anti-everything-ism. Anti all that is sane, rational and sound. It won't be long before people have had a bellyful. And want to elect the sorts of people whose careers have revolved around helping people live. Thank god these kinds of people are willing to step up. And I expect many fired former government employees will also find their way into a run for office, in time. They served their country once, and may wish to serve again.

It is my fervent hope that Dr. Acton pulverized Ramaswamy and ends his political career. Although, Politico did a demolition job on her and I would expect another one before the election.

Hey everyone - help these people's campaigns by clicking the link, watching the videos and like/comment/subscribe. I looked at Kishla Askins launch video on YouTube and it has only seven views. I'm not in NE, but I engaged just to help drive the algorithm and help her campaign.

This is encouraging; however, as we know being a physician or engineer doesn't make one immune to the MAGA mind virus. In fact, there's sufficient numbers out there to lend flaky credibility to all matters MAGA/MAHA. I've spent long years of my technical career swimming upstream of folks who in STEM fields, yet are driven by minds that are highly susceptible to MAGA style thinking.

This story is quintessentially Bulwarkian. We need more legislators grounded in the Sciences.(not Tech!) We need to hear from Shaughnessy on one of the pods.
