We’re all tired of the headlines about the latest nonsense coming out of DC, and while we can’t change how we got here – 2016, 2020, 2024 – we can change things going forward.

It’s not enough to snark online, to your spouse, among friends.

I’m not the biggest fan of just going to rallies with signs, though if that helps you vent off some steam, by all means.

The 2026 midterms are four months and change out from now.

There are millions of doors that need to be knocked on.
