Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I have several numbers I'm attached to, such as the number three, so for my pause to land on 3 hours 33 minutes and 33%, I'm tickled 😂

Also, this audiobook is pulling me out of my reading slump much like Caleb lovingly (and literally 😉) pulled Sarah to their tent that first night. 🤭

We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.

J.K. Rowling uses 'Harry Potter' wealth to fund anti-transgender organization This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money.
1. Do not watch the new show.
2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts)
3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike.

His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Yesterday, a white man published a book about a slave child who falls in love with her enslaver. And of the four reviews the book has, one of them was telling those of us who are “sensitive to racism” that it’s wrong to leave a bad review. Oh, and the book is meant to be advocating for Black people.

As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

As someone whose life was dramatically altered by long COVID & who still masks indoors, it’s terrifying to see face masks weaponized in the attack on Palestine and free speech. Bans on face masks feel like I am being told to disappear from public life. Our struggles are always connected.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
