My heart … ❤️
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I’m calling Durbin and Kaine first.
There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

*If all goes by the regular schedule

Everyone WON!!!
I voted early today! In my city, Dems are expected to sweep. I’m especially proud of five dear friends who are running for Mayor, Treasurer, City Council (2), and Planning & Zoning Board respectively. They have worked so hard, talking and listening to voters and will serve our community well 👏🏼💙👏🏼

Saw my State Senator by chance today. She was out knocking doors in an ethnically diverse neighborhood to help GOTV for our upcoming mayoral election. She speaks a bit of Spanish, I speak a bit of French … we made it work! I LOVE my diverse city!

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

My sister came w me to meet my oncologist today ❤️ The fact that I’ll be feeling kinda crappy for another 4-6 months is no surprise. What was disheartening is the fact that I will need so many follow up tests in 2026. I highly doubt I will be able to have them w/o my ACA tax benefits in tact.

Absolutely no one reads my posts.

My Irish family escaped the famine … ✌🏼💙🇺🇸
God damn, that woman is the fire in my soul 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC.

“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…”

So good!! 🔥

@visitstmaarten.bsky.social Hi there! Jonathan recommended that I speak with you. I’m thinking of visiting St. Martin in mid November. Can you help?
All best,

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.

He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.
