Having been involved in political protests for what feels like my entire adult life, I enjoyed singing all the old songs today. I have to say, though, that Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" rises above the rest. #NoKings youtu.be/RhJ0q7X3DLM?...

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.
As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

You can't come to the touring Cake Picnic unless you bring a dessert to share
People across Southern California came out to eat cake this weekend… 483 different cakes to be exact. A touring picnic took over a Santa Monica park with one simple rule…bring a cake.

If you’ve ever gotten a pass that felt unfair—know that agents feel the sting too. We’re not rejecting you. We’re making hard decisions inside an imperfect system.

Starting the week with a quote from Bishop Mariann Budde feels like a good idea.
"In a culture of contempt, may we speak with dignity.
In a world of mean-spiritedness, may we act with kindness and love.
At a time when it is tempting to be cynical and despairing, may we live in hope."

@birdsoftheworld.bsky.social (the Cornell Lab of Ornithology) has an amazing app, BirdCast, which tracks the movement of migratory birds. It's incredible to watch what's happening as the seasons change. 2.7 million birds flew over my upstate New York county last night! They list the species, too.

Phew! @seymoursimon.bsky.social and I just played a fiercely contested #Scrabble game. I drew both Q & Z to start and had 111 points after the first two turns. He battled back, playing a 7-letter word for 77 points! It was nip and tuck to the end. One of the best games we've ever played, for sure.
