For anyone who finds themselves to be in the middle politically or economically, this book is for you. Those who have read it so far have provided such amazing feedback. This book can make a difference - enough people just need to read it. I hope you are one of them!

It’s been a week since the Blue Tsunami. #independents and #moderates fueled it. We voted. If the parties do not heed the message, we must do more than just vote and become the change we seek. a.co/d/0fYwWvsJ

Prices are rising faster than paychecks.
Inflation-adjusted wages fell 0.7% from a year earlier, the sixth straight monthly decline and the worst stretch in more than three years.
Consumer prices rose 3.7% over the past year, led by a 9.1% jump in gasoline.
Would love to see @UMichFootball explore independece in football at this point. Revenue sharing within a conference in a 24-team field no longer makes sense as their is no benefit to being in a conference.
Breaking: The College Football Playoff and ESPN have signed a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told @CFBHeather.

Nobody ruins college sports better than those who run college sports. A 24-team playoff is ridiculous on multiple levels.

My next read. Thanks to @andrew_dunn for the personal copy! Looking forward to reading about @PatMcCroryNC especially after Tuesday’s results.
I predicted on my podcast that independents voted for Dems at a rate of around 75% and fueled the Blue Tsunami. Looks like I was right.
How did Independents vote in the nation's most competitive races? The @CNN exit polls are jaw-dropping...
🔵 Talarico: 74%
🔴 Paxton: 16%
🔵 Ossoff: 72%
🔴 Collins: 22%
🔵 Cooper: 67%
🔴 Whatley: 26%
🔵 Hamilton: 64%
🔴 Marshall: 31%
🔵 Andrews: 69%
🔴 Graham: 17%
🔵 Turek: 66%
🔴 Hinson: 23%

Tuesday was a Moderate Message sent by independents and moderates across the country. We've had enough. Trump is doubling down. If @Republicans follow suit, it will cost them even more in 2028. Hopefully @TheDemocrats do not take the bait.

Well, it appears the Administration is not going to heed the message sent by voters on Tuesday and is going to double down. Hopefully, the rest of the @Republicans will wise up and moderate.

The time is now. We don't need a 3rd Party. We need resources. A coalition. Build to 2028 and beyond. Independents and moderates showed up at the polls and created a historic change election, which is labeled as a Blue Tsunami but it was fueled by fed-up centrists. (1/3)

We need @Fwd_Party @Independent_LC @Independent_Cen @ivn @braverangels @uniteamerica @fairvote to pool their resources and financially/physically provide support for independent candidates to compete with partisan candidates. (2/3)

And we need candidates like @SethBodnarForMT @osbornforne @MahrouRobbie @Achilles4Idaho @BrianBengs and others to stay engaged. Treat the loss as a lesson on campaigning rather than a verdict. Run again. Or work to help others do the same across all levels. The movement is here

This is a Moderate Moment. The @HouseBlueDogs has already doubled in size. Will RINOs follow suit? And will the parties moderate, or continue there march of polarization? The time is now for moderates and independents to engage beyond Election Day.

A Blue Tsunami, but it really was a Moderate Movement. Moderates and Independents have had enough. @TheDemocrats realized it. Will the rest of the party move to the middle or simply take the votes, new seats, and push further to the left? nytimes.com/2026/11/04/us/po…

When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote.
Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️

For those who say it’s time for universal care. I am all for it. It would be nice if we could find a way to reduce the cost of care and make it available to everyone, for anything.
But it will take work to get there. Other countries with Universal Care make “Most Things available to All People”. It’s not perfect.
In our country, we make “Everything available to Most People”.
The question for this country, unlike others, is how we can make the best possible care and therapies, regardless of cost, to everyone ?
Read @AbdulElSayed ‘s book on Medicare for All. He wisely had more questions than answers. Medicare for All ? Global Budgets ? Or something else ?
It’s a difficult path from where we are to “E4E” Healthcare. ?Everything for Everyone)
My hope is that we can put together a Simpson Bowles type, Blue Ribbon Commission. One that includes representatives of all stakeholders. From all different type of patients. Including rare disease parents. Rural and Urban Hospitals. The most expensive hospitals that offer unique care. Pharma companies that offer everything from genetics to Cell and Gene Therapies. You get the point
Some people think we can just tell all those working in the healthcare system what to do.
That’s the fastest way for this to fail. We need to be as close as we can to being on the same page. And we need to figure out a non partisan manner of running our American version of Universal Care.
No reason we can’t start now
All 3 Amendments passed in NC despite @NCDemParty position of NO on them. And votes were not close. Why? Independents supported all 3 by wide margins. Blue Wave but Independents sent a message last night by showing up. Will the parties moderate or continue to polarize? #ncpol

The Blue Tsunami fueled by Independents. We had enough. Centrists won competitive races. Will the @TheDemocrats heed the message to moderate? #ncpol briangroesser.com/podcast

I have a podcast coming out later today to discuss the Blue Tsunami, but when I discuss in my book about starting where the partisan wall is the lowest, this is what I mean. newjerseyglobe.com/campaigns…
