Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

“Records reviewed by the AP identify only nine of the 38 people arrested in the first days as having criminal histories that rose beyond traffic violations — information the intelligence bulletins warn “should not be distributed to the media.” www.nola.com/news/catahou...

Columbus, Ohio freeway overpass Why the bruises on DJT's hand? Why the frequent MRIs? Some observers speculate that DJT is receiving infusions or Leqembi — a drug to SLOW the progression of Alzheimer's. Thank you to Outreach Heros !!

Sitting in a McDonalds parking lot and noticed a row of houses behind it. Through a living room window, I watched a couple dance around the lit Christmas tree with their kid. Dad lifted them up to put the star on, and I felt special (and not at all creepy) watching core Hallmark memories being made

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again). I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

* Trump has already removed the bulk of the oil sanctions he put on Putin. * Kushner & Witkoff meet with Putin & snub Ukraine by skipping a follow-up. * Putin rejects Trump's peace plan. * Putin launches massive drone attack. Trump is a likely Russian asset & US traitor.

Steven Cheung is White House Communications as well as "Trump’s assistant. Cheung noted that Saturday evening, Trump was "still in the Oval Office working,” and said it was “truly remarkable to witness” the president’s work ethic" ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I'll never understand how so many people got conned into hating the idea of universal healthcare. Say you pay 20% more in taxes. Your employer pays you more because no insurance. You never see a doctor, lab or out of network specialist bill again. You have a low copay for drugs. Isn't that worth it?

A Republican president once picked Ben Bernanke—a future Nobel laureate—because expertise mattered more than spin. That norm, picking Fed chairs for brains not loyalty, does more to protect your paycheck than any campaign slogan.

Some of us BEEN warning you about U.S. policing. We told you to reimagine local PD, to establish a public safety system that actually kept the public safe. Now Project 2025 is the law of the land; I.C.E. and local cops are disappearing people in broad daylight. No Due Process. Now, it’s too late.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

There you go.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Here's a short piece I wrote to explain to smart laypersons what the birthright citizenship clause is for and why it's in the Fourteenth Amendment. Excerpted from my forthcoming book. Ungated:

if this Supreme Court nullifies the 14th Amendment then i don't really have any problems with Democratic officials ignoring federal law for the foreseeable future at that point we're just in a state of exception

Do Europeans understand that Trump’s America just declared war on our way of life and on our Union?

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

It should be illegal to actively or passively take another human being's life. This includes denying someone food, healthcare, housing, heating and cooling, the basic necessities for survival.

Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers! Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.

"The group rallied amid frigid conditions at the Target store on East Lake Street, alleging it allowed agents to stage raids in the parking lot. 'You cannot celebrate our communities on your commercials while letting ICE stalk them in your parking lot'...” www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

"I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year...the line wraps around the building a second time..Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold..."

Trump signed an executive order in January denying citizenship to children born on American soil to undocumented immigrants and some temporary foreign residents.
