Things that feel cringe (until they start working):
- Posting on LinkedIn (until a stranger DMs you with a life changing opportunity)
- Cold DMs (until one turns into your biggest client)
- Filming yourself in public (until the video gets a million views)
- Hosting your first event (until 100 people show up)
- Speaking on stage (until someone tells you your talk changed their mind)
- Starting a newsletter (until it pays your rent)
- Introducing yourself to strangers (until one becomes your cofounder)
- Asking for referrals (until half your business comes from them)
- Pitching your friends on your startup (until one of them invests)
- Asking for a raise (until you get it)
Cringe is the entry price (most people never pay it)

I refuse to punish Harris for stepping up and taking on a historically horrible challenge. Despite what some think, if she hadn’t, it would have been chaos.

🔥 Rep. Joyce Beatty just shut it down.
She refused to let Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent waste her time with filibustering.
“No, no, no we’re not doing that with me.”
Straight answers or move on. No games. No evasion.
When politicians actually use their time to demand accountability instead of theater… that’s how oversight is supposed to work.
Power move. 💪
Who else is tired of the scripted dodges in these hearings? – at Hamtramck, MI

First off, thank you @scott_colom for inviting @KamalaHarris and giving her credit after your so-called “advisors” told you no. The people outside Mississippi did not pay attention to this race until Kamala campaigned with you.
Second, drop the names of those “advisors!”☕️
Scott Colom’s advisers tried to block Colom from bringing Kamala Harris to Mississippi to campaign, but he invited her anyway, The Washington Sun reports.
Colom later credited Harris with drawing attention to rural healthcare threats in the state.

Scott Colom knew what to do.
“If I would have done a press conference outside that hospital by myself, no reporter would have showed up. You know how I know that? Because I did and nobody showed up. And so I brought Vice President Harris down to bring attention to the issue, because healthcare and hospitals are on the ballot.”
One detail:
Scott Colom’s advisers tried to keep Kamala Harris out of Mississippi, two Dems say. He went around them and called her himself.
Now his race is too close to call, and he’s crediting her with putting the state’s crumbling rural hospitals on the map.
