Mom, grandmother, daughter, sister. I believe in democracy and that every person should live as they choose as long as it’s legal. I am a centrist and believe that beliefs at the far end of the scale on either side do not represent the majority of us.

It is shameful-and expected-that the Supreme Court has chosen to side with those who seek to undermine our democracy and disenfranchise voters of color.

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Servicemembers who put their lives on the line for this country deserve to be able to get IVF to help build their families.

Anti-abortion extremist Mike Johnson wants to deny them IVF coverage, but Democrats are going to keep fighting to protect IVF.

The speaker is working behind closed doors to remove a provision from the National Defense Authorization Act that would mandate health coverage for in vitro fertilization for all active duty military.

CNN’s scumbag propagandist Jake Tapper defends the orange felon for falling asleep during his bullshit meetings, but he sure as hell had a lot to say about President Biden’s mental capabilities as well as attacking his age even though he was always awake during meetings.

America has needed someone to fill the void and give us some hope.

Gavin Newsom has embraced that role so well and ably.

In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms.

11 months later, he still hasn't delivered.

That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.

One of the unique things about Missouri is our ability to veto legislation passed without our consent. This outrageous mid-decade redistricting should be thrown out. This is the last week to sign the petitions to put it to a vote. Sign a petition now! We pick our politicians, they don’t pick us!

Steve Witkoff has shown the world he will adopt Putin's talking points and concede the sovereignty of our Ukrainian allies if it means some of his billionaire buddies can get rich off Russia.

It's un-American and a total betrayal of our values. Witkoff needs to be fired.

The proposed changes reported over the weekend to FDA vaccine approvals are unethical to patients and healthcare providers across our nation.

We have real healthcare delivery issues in need of clear headed leadership. Not this.

Two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C.

Democrats immediately express their sympathy for the victims and their families.

Republicans immediately spread conspiracy theories to blame Democrats for the shooting.

Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
