If you've ever loved your country, this is a time to show it. If you want our leaders to be accountable, if you're devoted to the Constitution and the rule of law, if you want the United States of America to be worthy of your love, be ready to take to the streets together and we will take our country back.
I think we know what the agenda items are. Accomplishing those is going to be hard with a small majority. The upshot is that Trump's prime-time address is unlikely to make more than a ripple in the congressional agenda over the coming months.

They want to cheat, he said of Democrats. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that their only way to get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it.

On Saturday, Democrats streamed through the Moscone Center convention complex, sporting lanyards emblazoned with Gavin Newsom's name and tote bags adorned with one of Nancy Pelosi's favorite aphorisms: We don't Agonize, we organize symbols of a party in transition as the former speaker approaches retirement and the term-limited governor eyes a presidential campaign.

You can volunteer. You can make phone calls. You can knock on doors. But you can give! I've been out-raised twice in the last two quarters. They're killing us money-wise. I would rather have $10 from a million people than one guy giving me $10 million. Please go to lindseygraham.com tonight and give what you can, and do it every month until the election.
Elon Musk is spending big to help the GOP win the midterms. The world's richest man gave $5 million apiece in December to two super PACs tied to House and Senate GOP leadership, according to new disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday.
