I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.
Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.
Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

BREAKING: Republicans in the Texas House just bowed down to Trump and passed a bill creating five new likely GOP seats ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Shame on them. They are to blame for the gerrymandering arms race that we will now see across the country.

Gov Morrisey’s plan to send the WV Guard to DC disrespects those who serve by using them as political pawns and hurts communities recovering from flooding who need their help.
If he gives a damn about flood victims or the Guard, he should immediately call them back.

Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake.
Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.

Their bill would kick millions of Americans off of Medicaid and nutrition programs like SNAP.
