Eileen Higgins was elected Miami's next mayor on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press, making her the first Democrat to win the post in nearly 30 years and defeating President Trump's endorsed pick. www.axios.com/local/miami/...

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Trump tells MBS, who was complicit in the murder of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, it’s an “honor to be your friend” during a WH visit. www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/u...

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

I get why people are upset about SCOTUS putting a temp freeze on SNAP funding. But Justice Ketanji Brown’s move is more strategic than it sounds—she said the 1st Circuit Court should rule first. Trump skipped that step and went straight to SCOTUS. See article for full context….1

This is so exciting! 🎉😊💙💪👏 #BlueWaves2025 #SuperTuesday

More amazing news! In a historic move, New Mexico just became the first state in America to guarantee free, universal child care for all residents. 🩵 Families win, kids thrive, and the economy grows. Now let’s get the entire U.S. to follow suit.

Canada airs Reagan/Tariff ad again during the World Series Game 2. Respect. 🫡 #WorldSeries #BlueJays #Canada

Doug Ford's ad using Reagan's words slamming tariffs just aired during the World Series

By refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are willing to DOUBLE the health care costs for millions of people. It’s shameful.
