Brianna Titone proves that if a politician listens to and talks to their constituents, they will win.
I enjoyed interviewing Brianna Titone at Netroots Nation 2019 because she is the exemplification of what many of us preach. Irrespective of who you are, engage and win. She won because her conservative district in the aggregate understood they would be well served by her. Titone, a trans woman was hesitant at first. Her Republican congressman dissed her, so she ran for the seat. She let it all hang out and won the district.
I also met JD Scholten who is running against disgraced congressman Steve King of Iowa. He was not sure about running then. Well a couple of weeks later, he is running.
Independent Progressive media need support from Progressives
Free Speech TV, Pacifica Network, and most Independent Progressive outlets are way behind in raising the funds they need to operate much like the smaller outlets like Politics Done Right. We will discuss why and solutions. That said, please support our GoFundMe here.

DailyKos: Steve King’s ‘appalling and bizarre’ comments have his fellow Republicans worried, again
Looks like Republicans are worried about Rep. Steve King damaging their brand. Again. The latest cause for worry is King’s latest comments explaining that he doesn’t support rape or incest exceptions in his abortion bans because “What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?”
Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-ranking House Republican, put on her frowniest face for this:
Today’s comments by @RepSteveKingIA are appalling and bizarre. As I’ve said before, it’s time for him to go. The people of Iowa’s 4th congressional district deserve better.
— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) August 14, 2019
Cheney previously said that King “should find another line of work” after he asked, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?” So in case you were wondering where Cheney draws the line, it’s with overt defense of white supremacy and with “bizarre”—she’s not wrong there—comments about the role of rape and incest in human history. In other words, when King becomes too much of a PR headache for Republicans and when voters get a reminder that he is still in Congress as a Republican but that they have a chance to vote him out next year.
