The Democratic party still hasn't learned their lesson. Only voters can force the real change. #DemandBetter https://www.mobilize.us/local-majority/event/949859/07 Jun 2026 17:20 +0000at://did:plc:apikkb2bznvjkrrpracwvsna/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnpoikw3ok2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/joe.votejoek.com/post/3mmpc6qd6q22iToday on Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

These are things Thomas Massie stood for and his own party spent over $30 million in a primary to unseat him.
