J and I heard the glorious Michelle Obama speak with Wesley Morris about her new book, The Look, at @sixthandi tonight. I broke when she shared about being mindful of the importance of kids seeing themselves represented in the White House and about bringing joy - JOY - to the East Wing. #StillTeary

No idea if this is the case here, but a city council member in my suburb said that our many vacant downtown storefronts were due to a tax law that allows landlords to write off losses from vacant properties, so if they don't get the rent they want, they can make more money by letting it sit empty.
Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

Can you not understand the message that Virginia voters just sent. It wasn't a desire for compromise, it was a plea for principled resistance to cruelty

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Remember having a president who understood he was a PUBLIC SERVANT? Me too. Miss that. #SoFuckingGreatAgain
Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.
To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

Starting yesterday, notifications of higher premiums are being sent to 90,000 Minnesotans.
I heard from a small business owner in Eagan whose premium will increase by *at least* $450 a month. That’s $5,400 a year.
That’s why we’re fighting to extend the health care tax credit.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

After the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, it was natural that his allies, including Trump, lionized him as a patriot, free-speech advocate, and activist.
Here’s the problem: Kirk built his movement with falsehoods. And his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements.

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.
