We killed it on the Floor. But, it will be back. So we must keep fighting!

7/7. It's worth dwelling on this point. It’s hard for Americans to process that their hard right politics is in large measure a Russian and Hungarian import — intellectually and also financially. We should take advantage of the defeat of Orbán to let this basic fact sink in.

More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.

All of us must be civil rights activists at this moment.

Just like those who showed up, stood up, and spoke out today at the National Action Network’s 2026 Convention.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Since summer camps are too expensive, I've told the kids we'll put on our own camp. It's going to be an Arts, Music, and Language camp. We're going to learn French and piano, do lots of arts and crafts, read lots of books, and go to museums on Fridays
