i think a lot of F1 fans (including me tbh) were shocked to see him at the #MiamiGP this weekend but we wrote about Trump's strategy re: reaching out to sports communities in @FWIWnews last fall... and i think we all need to pay more attention to how strong this strategy may be

glad they asked, went right to @NDWINFund 😊 (tl:dr the Burgum campaign was offering to send literally anyone $20 for a $1 donation in order to make the donor threshold for the RNC debate… let’s hope they keep it up!)

Time to fight like hell. Our daughters will not have fewer rights than our mothers and grandmothers did. They’ll never have to wake up one day less human in the eyes of the law than they were when they went to sleep.

Team Biden spent $770,000+ on Meta ads this week, many of which seem to be a push to get Biden Harris yard signs out there. Is the saying "yard signs don't vote" correct? Definitely. But do I personally love a yard sign and enjoy this a lot? Yes! (more in @FWIWnews this week)

Ron Johnson is running for reelection. That might be good news for his big donors and special interests who have made a killing off his time in Washington, but Wisconsinites want a Senator who will stand up for them. That’s why I’m running. Are you with me?
