Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

Frankly, yeah.
I don’t think we have any real power to sway things at the federal level. (Unless you’re a billionaire or willing to pull a Player 2.)
It’s still possible to do a vast amount of good in your local community, and I think everyone should. For example, Kansas City’s city council just passed a 5-year moratorium on any permits or zoning for ICE “mass detention” facilities.
