Mark Cuban says he wants nothing to do with either political party: “The Republican Party is the Trump family business, and the Democratic Party doesn’t even know what it’s doing. They both suck.” 🇺🇸
Mark Cuban: “People think I’m a Democrat. I’m not.
If it were up to me, I’d kick both parties to the curb. I think both parties suck. I’m a moderate independent.”
Tucker Carlson: “If you were advising Elon, would you tell him to stay out of the Republican Party and try to win some seats for common sense? Would you back him?”
Mark Cuban: “It depends on the policies and the politicians they were putting forward. Yes, I’m wide open to that.
We need to look at each individual situation on its own merits. I just don’t care about either party.
The Republican Party isn’t the Republican Party anymore. It’s the Trump family business.
And the Democratic Party doesn’t even exist anymore because they don’t even know what they’re doing, and there’s nobody in charge.
They both suck.”

More than 40% of Montanans are Independents. Party insiders didn’t think they’d matter, that they’d just fall in line. We're going to prove them wrong.

Independent voters will decide the outcome of the 2026 midterms. @jbopdycke breaks down how voters are feeling on @CNN this morning. Watch ⬇️⬇️

We founded the Independent Leadership Council because truly independent candidates face a political system built around two parties with no infrastructure to help them compete outside it.
In Washington, you're expected to pick a side: Republican or Democrat. But there's another possibility: putting the American people first.
I know from experience what happens when neither party can take your vote for granted. Both sides have to come to the table, make their case and find common ground.
That's the idea behind our support for independent candidates like @SethBodnarForMT and @KevinKileyCA, who have committed to caucusing with neither major party.
Independent leadership isn't about standing alone. It's about having the freedom and the leverage to work with both sides.
In a closely divided Congress, even a few truly independent members could change how Washington operates. That's the mission of the @Independent_LC: creating a path for independent representation in a system dominated by two parties.

“ARE THEY GOING TO LISTEN TO INDEPENDENTS?” — Open Primaries founder & president @jbopdycke talks with @NewsNation on how independents will determine the midterms and what the response should be.
Chris Street retweeted
Our prez/founder @jbopdycke tells @NewsNation ➡️ “@Officiallymcco is just one of…thousands of leaders and organizations grappling with the question of how do we get the voice of the 48 percent, the independent voice, into the political conversation in this country?”

Matthew McConaughey said it best: Independents don’t just have leverage, they are the leverage. Congress is more divided than ever before, and with razor-thin margins, a few true Independents can bring power back to the middle — where most Americans live their lives.
My daughter Heather and I started the Independent Leadership Council because the two major political parties have lost the plot. To them, it’s not about public service anymore — it’s about party loyalty and pushing extreme agendas that aren’t addressing the problems Americans are facing in their everyday lives.
I appreciate @McConaughey speaking up for Independent Americans and bringing attention to the opportunity we have to choose a third path this November. Visit independentleadershipcouncil… to learn more and to declare your independence today. @Independent_LC

530A accounts ("Trump Accounts") are a great solution for many ultra-wealthy Americans who are philanthropically inclined, do not want a foundation staff, do want to give while living, and haven't been inspired by existing nonprofits. It's an American version of “GiveDirectly."

Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, says foundations’ retreat from racial equity commitments is part of a long arc, on the latest episode of the Giving Done Right podcast from the Center for Effective Philanthropy (@CEPData).

Nikki Haley: “There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.”
Mitt Romney: “Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.”
Thom Tillis: “Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.”
Laura Loomer: “Putin’s goal is to take Ukraine. Then he will take Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and he will make his way through all of Europe. People obsess over personalities too much. You could have an election in Ukraine tomorrow and Putin would still find a reason to be at war. Russia INVADED Ukraine. Not the other way around. Zelenskyy’s removal from office won’t stop Russian imperialism. It’s not about Zelenskyy. It’s about Putin. It’s always been about Putin.”
John Cornyn: “Helping Putin in Ukraine is reckless. He would not stop with Ukraine and our NATO allies would be next. Putin is fanatically committed to restoring Russia’s glory days, calling the collapse of the Soviet Union ‘the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century’ and claiming Russia was ‘robbed’ in the breakup. . . Congress Must Investigate Trump’s Aid and Comfort to Putin.”

🚨🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky on Trump:
"I hope that Trump will change his decisions, because I think they are ALL mistakes.
It will not help us, and it won't help the U.S."
For Ukraine, these aren't abstract political decisions. They affect families, cities, soldiers, and the future of an entire nation.
Zelensky's warning deserves to be heard with the seriousness those consequences demand.

The trend this year continues – since the start of fall, our warriors have liberated more territory than the Russians have managed to capture. The same was true at other points this year. We continue to press the Russians at the front.
Dobropillia, Kostiantynivka, Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, Orikhiv, Novopavlivka, Novoandriivka, and Velykomykhailivka are all under Ukrainian control. We are also defending the areas near Kramatorsk and destroying Russian forces 20 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia, not 5, as someone over there in Russia is snowing Putin.
Our front is strong, and I thank every warrior and every one of our units that is carrying out its tasks in full.

Admiral McRaven: "Our current leaders are shameless and ignoble. They have no sense of dignity or honor. They seem to believe that the performance of curel power is what makes a nation great: the spectacle, the show, the crude theatrics of a tough guy. Nothing could be further from the truth."

The horrific allegations coming out of Cornell, of a young woman assaulted at a fraternity party while others looked the other way, should stop every one of us in our tracks.
It's on all of us, as fathers, brothers, friends, and teammates, to have the courage to speak up, to step in, and to hold institutions accountable.
Leaders have to set that standard, and I will.
