It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House. Not a single offer. Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Sometimes when lies are repeated over and over masquerading as the truth… Something finally clicks & people get that they are liars. Maybe it is time. Maybe it is witchcraft. Maybe it is enough is enough. Whatever Here for it Let’s go No kings No authoritarians Flip this flipping script 💙

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

When the wifi is spotty I simply listen to Prince. ☔ I mean I listen to Prince most of the time anyway. My all time fave song is Baby I’m a Star. What is yours? 💜👑

Omgoodness Swear her in already.

The wifi always seems to suck on that one plane ride where it would be super cool to get one thing sent. #sigh #letitgo

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

The new term of Court starts today. Here’s what I am paying attention to. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

My sister asked me if I ever get tired of writing about politics. "No. Because I write about freedom. That's the lens I see it through...and I am more inspired each day...than I was the day before. I find politics boring. Freedom...is endelessly invigorating."

Once you vote you are taken off lists to call and text so vote early and the noise will be reduced.

‘History shows that censorship grows if it is not resisted. Give up one book, and demands will multiply. Allow the purge of one school library, and the entire district becomes a target.’ Excerpt from article. 👏🏼👏🏼

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Dame Patricia Routledge could do it all. Expert comedienne, superb dramatic actress, accomplished singer and performer, but above all, a wonderful, wise and captivating person. We have lost a remarkable woman, and a true national treasure.

Happy 33rd wedding anniversary to this beautiful amazing power couple. The Obamas are goals.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

We are thrilled to partner with Los Padres ForestWatch, a nonprofit organization that works to protect Los Padres National Forest and other public lands along California’s central coast.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Okay, funny bookstore category

So as I’m sure you know by now, I have the ear of the house, Dems, the Senate Dems and the DNC. It just occurred to me that I have the ability to get messages to them to help with their messaging 1/2

You probably think Democrats are doing nothing right now, right? Would you believe me if I said that they are doing a 24 hour live stream about the effects of losing healthcare and the shutdown on every day people with personal testimonies? www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dm-... 1/2

OMG! Mychal did it. Anyone who first caught this wonderful human gaining an audience on TikTok knew there was something special happening. What an incredible journey and story. Promoting reading and libraries is so damn important right now, and I can't think of a better ambassador.

Wow! What a breakthrough moment for these women. #WRWC2025 #RWC2025 #RUGBY
