Please illuminate GenZ voters. I teach at university level. My students admit some voted for Trump. Their reason: “he said he’d improve the economy.” They’re too young to recognize a con-man. Let’s work to build critical thinkers among GenZ.

I believe that feeling paralyzed by the overwhelming barrage of news and doom posting (unhelpful) is a normal and acceptable thing. But taking action is important. No action is too small.

Start local, think “community.” Find your tribe.

Hegseth needs to be fired.

The intel he shared via Signal, including to his wife, was sent to him on a secure channel.

He knowingly exposed our pilots to unnecessary danger with his show boat antics.

During her time in Congress, @abigailspanberger.com protected our community by cosponsoring the Equality Act and the Respect for Marriage Act. Now, she is ready to build a Virginia that is rooted in equality for everyone.

We are proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger for Governor of Virginia.

Pope Francis showed the world what it means to lead with humility, compassion, and courage.

As we grieve his heartbreaking passing, may we carry forward his call for a more inclusive, peaceful world.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

I’m about convinced that all of this is no longer his fault. The responsibility is now on the shoulders of those in govt with the power to do something about it.

The current problems now stem from their sycophancy, incompetence, greed, evil, or a combination.

Thanks Senator Cassidy for reminding America: When MAGA says it will “reform” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, they mean they will “cut” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Clearly time to “reform” MAGA.
Sen. Bill Cassidy: "Is there some way that we cut Medicare so that it's-- excuse me, reform Medicare."

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

It’s not over. We cannot “move on” from this.

This is reckless and ignorant behavior that could get Americans killed, including what 47 calls the “suckers” and “losers” who have chosen to defend our country.

What else have they been hiding from We the People?

Nope. No passes.
Yeah, it's not up to them to declare the investigations into their colossal fuckup and the wider lapses in national security are all over.

Don't let this fade away.
Remember last week, when the White House said an internal review was underway on the Signal chat scandal?

Forget it: Seven days later, the White House announced that "the case has been closed." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
