Yes, it’s true. Former NASA astronauts have to teach a Civics class to the entire U.S. now.

The Constitution and rule of law are serious. They’re not suggestions, and we need to get back to a place where this is respected. It’s the foundation of our country.

Just saw this film for the first time tonight. The description below makes it seem like Jack Nicholson is the lead character. He’s definitely not. But he did co-produce it.

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

"Miguel" is removing excess branches from the grapevines to ensure a higher-quality harvest. He's proud of his UFW contract at Greenfield's Scheid Vineyards that he's worked under for 24 yrs. "I have benefits like medical, seniority, paid holidays, 401k & a 8% bonus." #WeFeedYou

"Alice" sent this photo from where she's working in the blueberries in Kern County. "We are paid piece rate - $1.10 a pound. However a lot of the fruit is still green, so it's very slow picking. Even working fast, we only pick around 13 lbs per hour." #WeFeedYou

It’s happening!

It‘s a real honor to earn the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. Over my career, I’ve been at the forefront of battles to defend abortion access and reproductive freedom. When I’m Governor, we’ll make sure reproductive health care is always protected in California.

I genuinely think some people do not want to look this in the eye/think about it because it is so awful. We wrote what I thought was a pretty eye-opening story about all this and I was surprised by the lack of engagement tbh

"Mari" works in Salinas CA. "I'm currently working on thinning—removing lettuce plants so they aren't too crowded. This allows them to grow larger. I work 8 hrs/day 5 days/week. I get very tired from all the walking and the constant movement of my hands." #WeFeedYou

...and more if you go back further than the "30 years" he cited.

...or Pete Wilson.

1 thing I noticed in the CA Gov debate: one GOP candidate consistently answered in a way that ignored there was ever a Gov. Schwarzenegger…

Northern Cheyenne activist Krystal Two Bulls says there are 103 to 160 proposed hyperscale data centers on Native lands. The data center boom is a “modern-day iteration” of “settler colonialism,” impacts of which include noise pollution, cancers and respiratory illnesses, water depletion and more.

This #EarthDay, I’m taking a walk on the bluffs to see how they are doing 14 months after the fire.

Republican leadership intended to vote to gut the Endangered Species Act today… and then didn't have the support needed, so they pulled the bill. Happy Earth Day! 🌍

This Earth Day, the land we call home isn’t just ours to live on, it’s ours to care for. Protecting our communities, preserving natural resources, and honoring future generations shouldn’t be partisan, it’s common sense. Let’s recommit to protecting what matters most. 🌎

Trust me, disabled people feel this hostility acutely.

Special election: Early voting starts next week for GA Supreme Court! 💙 Democrats Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin are running to protect reproductive freedoms and Constitutional rights. #PostcardsToVoters 🗳️

California governor debate set for Wednesday night: How to watch

Wed. - I’m watching it on KTLA. 7 pm. www.kron4.com/news/politic...

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

I enjoyed writing #postcardstovoters to VA! Thanks, VA, for turning out to vote YES. 🎉

I don't think this is correct. The 2026 Rs are in full blown panic already.

Decision Desk HQ projects the VA Congressional Redistricting Referendum will Pass. While No currently has the lead, based on the location and size of the remaining vote, Yes will take the lead as soon as the remaining counties report. #DecisionMade: 8:25 PM EDT

When wildfires tore through LA, Chef Kim Prince showed up and cooked soul food for families who had lost everything. When a winter storm left Nashville in the cold, she and her team at Prince's Hot Chicken did it again. #ChefsForTheWorld (1/2)

Right now Virginia’s congressional map gives us a 6-5 Dem/Rep split. If we do nothing while other states gerrymander, we lose ground in 2026, 2028, AND 2030. Voting YES today, April 21st, levels the playing field. It’s really that simple. #VoteYesVirginiaToday

I went to a public library in a small mountain town in Colorado 2 Sunday afternoons ago, and it thrilled me. They had a musician there playing on a small stage for a bit; lots of families were getting books; and it was a very modern facility in terms of computers and equipment. It was so active!

"Few people have done more to shape Los Angeles’ art scene than Eileen Harris Norton." www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia

Call your House rep and say: “please vote no on HR 1897.” It may reach the floor by tomorrow.

Today, @bennet.senate.gov and I are leading Congress in recognizing the 10th annual Columbine Day of Service and remembering all those we lost 27 years ago. The strength & resilience of Coloradans are an inspiration to folks everywhere.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

No previous American president, in any era, of any party, would have tolerated a drunken, erratic, absent FBI chief www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump was in such a volatile state after Iran shot down a U.S. jet that he spent hours screaming at aides in the West Wing, obsessing over the political fallout and invoking Jimmy Carter and the 1979 hostage crisis. 2/

My husband remembers this production vividly and fondly. (We just saw a new Broadway-bound production last month at Pasadena Playhouse with Jefferson Mays as Salieri). Once I saw Tim Curry on a flight to London. Happy Birthday, Tim Curry!

This is unironically Republicans’ worst nightmare

I don’t know which consultant or group is advising candidates to start texts with “My Decision” but we’re all tired of it by now.

If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

It was a Butterfly Bonanza today!

One thing that I'm thinking about as a ponder how Todd Blanche put someone whose wife was investigated for foreign influence peddling on this case is that before Blanche was Trump's lawyer be was Boris Epshteyn's lawyer and before he was Epshteyn's lawyer he was Paul Manafort's lawyer. 😳
