“Do Not Limp To The Finish Line.”

One of the basic principles of good journalism is “Do not bury the lead.” So here’s mine 21 days before the 2024 election:

It is not enough to simply reject Trump. Supporters of our Democracy can not limp to the finish line. To neutralize the Kevin Roberts’ (Project 2025) and Leo Leonard’s (Federalist Society) of our world, Republicans up and down the ballot who supported the Big Lie must be soundly defeated. The message must be clear and unmistakable to reset our democracy. If you as an elected official provide comfort and support to a leader like Trump who threatens our freedoms, as he and his enablers have done with women’s reproductive rights or through threats to use the military in violation of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act; if you allow Trump and his enablers to go unchallenged as they lie at will and deny the results of a valid election; if you defend Trump and his enablers cruelty and past actions that separated children from their parents on our borders; you will never again successfully run for elective office in America. Period.
