I was just searching on Facebook for Senator Van Hollen’s page and was shocked to see that my search for “Senator V…” had JD Vance’s page and ONLY his page appear in pre-populated results! 👀 @vanhollen.senate.gov

We were super excited to receive this surprise free package from Penzeys Spices today in support of America and our local DC Federal Workers. #RESIST 💙

The bottom line is simple: if we don’t take care of the Earth, we’re not just risking the planet, we’re risking our future.

Every choice we make today affects the world we’ll live in tomorrow.

Let’s protect our environment, because without a healthy planet, there’s no future to plan for.

Last night, I attended a powerful event about protecting the environment.

The discussion turned political. How could it not?

A Nobel Peace Prize-winning scientist made a bold statement:

America is in the midst of a government coup.

We ALL must speak up.

Our voices matter now more than ever!

Useful or scare-tactic? The sign is in the entrance of my Safeway grocery store tonight about the predicted snowstorm on Sunday.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?
