I think it may be time to consider where we Democrats are after the election and at the 60-day point of the second Trump presidency. I suspect most (if not all) of us went through a period of mourning after last November 5th. At first glance, it can certainly feel like we Democrats should hunker down and wait for 2028. In his first 60 days in office, Trump has unleashed his Hounds from Hell—Elon and the Oligarchs—who act as if the checks and balances built into our Constituti

I received an invitation to Chuck Edwards’ townhall only two days before the event. With such short notice, imagine my surprise—and delight—when I found that more than 2,000 people had mobilized and showed up last Thursday. Hoping to Get In AB Tech’s Ferguson Auditorium holds fewer than 400 people. The line stretched past the building, around the parking lot, and back down the other side. We waited patiently, chatting with strangers and applauding whenever someone walked past

Late Tuesday evening (2/25/25), the U.S. House passed President Musk’s (oops, President Trump’s) requested budget on a party-line vote. So, our Representative, Chuck Edwards, threw us under the bus again. Many constituents in NC District 11—except for the many billionaires who live among us—will take a hit to the pocketbook. One Republican, Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said, “Here’s the deal: We are cutting taxes, and we’re not going to cut spending to match it, so

Yesterday, the Historic Courthouse courtyard in Downtown Hendersonville became a powerful gathering space for justice, equality, and resistance. At noon, hundreds of people rallied together to make their voices heard, standing against the attacks on our rights, democracy, and future by Trump, Elon Musk, and the current administration. The stakes have never been higher, and this peaceful RESIST rally sent a strong message that our community will not stand idly by. Attendees he

lon and the Oligarchs. No, it’s not the name of a new boy band. It’s my name for the billionaires intent on destroying democracy to further enrich themselves . Let’s Put Elon and the Oligarchs in Context: There are around 800 billionaires in the U.S. 13 of them are (or soon will be) in Trump’s cabinet. The net worth of the billionaires in the Trump administration is $382 billion . The net worth of Trump’s cabinet alone is $11.8 billion (separate from his wealthier advis

This is personal! Shalyn, a park ranger at our own Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, bravely shared her story of being fired from the job she’d spent her life preparing for.

The news from Washington has been coming at an unprecedented clip over the past week. At first, it might seem somewhat disjointed, but there is actually quite a measure of connectedness. FBI and CIA Trump has been salivating at the prospect of wreaking vengeance on the FBI. In Trump World, any attempts by the FBI to hold him accountable for his extensive crime spree during his first term are seen as “deep state” persecution. Trump and Musk’s Narcissistic Personality Disorders
