Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.
But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

We have serious questions about how the Trump-Vance administration handled files related to the Epstein case.
We've requested records of the files that political appointees have requested to review—including correspondence between Trump and Epstein.
The American people deserve the truth.

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.
Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.
