The next time someone says common sense protections for working people are too radical:

In no way should we be funding a genocide. And Charles will not be taking a cent of AIPAC’s money. We need more humanity, and a lot less money in politics. @TrackAIPAC

Charles is too radical? Poverty in the richest country in the world is radical. People rationalizing their medicine is radical. Endless wars are radical. This campaign’s vision is rational.

“I didn’t have Chuck Schumer behind me — I built and leaned into a movement about people standing up to fight back with a vision of ending poverty.”

Kentucky, this is game changing news! IUE-CWA Local 83761, and all of the CWA shops across Kentucky, have unanimously endorsed our campaign for U.S. Senate! Working people are off the sidelines and taking a stand - against big money corruption, against the status quo, and for our future. I am humbled. I am fired up. Together, WE are going to win this race! whas11.com/article/news/l…

@byjoelanderson Co-sign this list fully

Van also asked me to rank stans in terms of most deranged, and we predictably got distracted and forgot. Here's a first draft of my ranking: 1. Nicki Minaj 2. Tupac 3. Kobe 4. Kanye 5. Drake I don't know nothing about Swifties or mostly white fan bases. Sorry.

I was really confused because I didn’t realize Kobe stans like @VanLathan thought 81 points was the NBA single-game scoring record

@byjoelanderson THANK YOU

another way of putting it is: van was trying to diminsh the legacy of one of our black female icons and i wouldn't stand for it.

I’m running to replace Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate. Working people in Kentucky and across the country are tired of billionaires and corrupt politicians stomping on us and making it too expensive to survive. Let’s show them what loving your neighbor truly looks like. Let’s fight back.

Two things can be true. I’m excited to support James Talarico and his fight to turn Texas blue. And I feel compelled to reup this piece I wrote about Jasmine Crockett and the authenticity trap Black women often face in politics.

Endless wars get unlimited funds. Meanwhile, politicians tell us food assistance is too costly, housing support is too pricey, and Medicare for All is too expensive. Tupac was right.

The American people need their damn money back.

MAJOR ENDORSEMENT ALERT: I am beyond proud to announce @WorkingFamilies is endorsing our campaign for U.S. Senate! There is a movement for real change growing across the country, and that movement is alive in Kentucky. After years of organizing and making historic progress, we are ready for this moment. Let’s win this!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: @abbydphillip’s biography of Jesse Jackson, “Jesse Jackson the The Fight for Black Political Power” is must-read for anyone looking to learn more about the civil rights leader and about how the Democratic Party became what it is today. Worth your time!

Former President Obama says Democrats' struggle could be partly because they have too many leaders who have "aged out" instead of younger candidates who can connect with voters. @esglaude and @MayaRupert join @AlexWitt with their political analysis. ms.now/chris-jansing-…

@taylorcrumpton @thebarbedwiretx Congrats to you!!!

Hi! I'm getting married on Saturday and I wrote about it for @thebarbedwiretx. thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/12/boy…

Happy birthday to my fellow Aquarius! The Real Ones is on sale now! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/747083/t…

I hope the only thing Bad Bunny says in English is “Abolish ICE.”

Andy, it’s not working. You’ve been in the race nearly a year, and Trump still doesn’t like you. While you’re running to get the approval of a child predator, I am running for the people of Kentucky. Tired of y’all big money bootlickers.
