BREAKING: Today I'm leading a lawsuit against Trump for his unlawful executive order attempting to interfere with our elections. The Constitution is clear: States, not the White House, regulate elections. I won't back down from ensuring that every Massachusetts voter's ballot is counted.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

Another puzzle complete. So gratifying. #puzzlesky

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

The Georgia legislature is pushing some troubling bills this session. A thread on the concerns I have, with some interviews & good links from allies:

A jolting tornado warning waking you up and then a power outage before coffee…has my whole day set to chaos only.

I will be a published writer by the end of this year. I will be a published writer by the end of this year. I will be a published writer by the end of this year. ✨ I declare it.

Apparently NBC doesn’t know that the audience doesn’t want the camera in the face of these athletes living crushing disappointments. No need for questions right after. #MilanOlympics #Olympics

The SAVE Act is a modern-day poll tax that further enables voter suppression at a time when voting rights are under attack. My family fought for generations for the right to participate in our democracy. We can’t afford to roll back that progress now.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

Love a good puzzle.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

Just seeing this reminded me how nice it was to see a reading list or playlist from a President that showed how he related to the world as a person not just a position. It was always a neat thing to see but this year it’s also a reminder of how far we are from any semblance of normalcy & humanity.

Thinking I’d surely hit my deductible by now with a few weeks left in the year, the $400 specialist bill, $1400 in dental bills, $700 MRI…au contraire mon frere…and it’s going up next year We as a society have failed at this healthcare thing…universal healthcare is the only sustainable way.

Texas, let’s win this thing. #JasmineForUS #TexasTough

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Democracy dies on the Supreme Court’s shadow docket. From Kagan’s dissent:

The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored all previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge "Restoration of these grants is a massive win for libraries of all kinds in all states."

"Where are the Black photographers?" Deborah Willis on how she turned that question into an artistic mission.

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed.

www.newsweek.com/full-list-de... This is atrocious…a move to prevent those that aren’t wealthy from obtaining degrees and a blatant attempt to reduce women in the workforce.

What Brandon “Brannu” Fulton thought was going to be the beginning of a journey to turn his undeveloped land into a horse ranch named Believe Kingdom, soon spiraled into years of criminal accusations and legal disputes. https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/south-fulton-rancher-court-fight-seized-horses/

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

"One case involved the sole African American attorney working for the Mississippi State Senate, who was paid less than half of what her white colleagues made. As clear-cut a case of disparate racial treatment you could find. Trump appointees ordered us to drop it." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thank you @jeremybarr.bsky.social and @theguardian.com ... truly enjoyed this conversation! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Authoritarian governments are not new to this country. If you want to know what comes next should resistance fail, look to the history of Black resistance in the South. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level. We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

Oh my Outkast…Salt n Pepa what a night

One of the things of love most is a day with no plans that allows you to lavishly linger doing the most simple things…coffee and lunch at a cafe

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

I am hopeful for this momentum everywhere…hoping Gary Chambers decides to run again in Louisiana, Keisha Lance Bottoms picks up steam for. GA Governor race, Ossoff keeps his seat…

Dem women governors in NJ, NY, VA, MA. 🔥🔥

@joyannreid.bsky.social missing you and Rachel together on a night like this….network obeyed in advance is worse as a result
