Democrats need to stay united. The difficult choice Democratic senators faced was a direct result of actions by Trump and Musk. Instead of pointing fingers at each other, focus on the bigger fight—standing against authoritarianism. Keep your eyes on the goal and push forward together.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

There's something needs to be said
And it's important
You don't need to be gay to stick up for your gay friends
You don't need to be trans to stick up for your trans friends
You don't need to be Jewish or muslim or Hindu or black or white
You only need to be good people
To stick up for your friends

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

Virginia is in a precarious position because if the federal government slashes Medicaid funding, we could be looking at the need to halt Medicaid expansion. Over 721,000 Virginians have healthcare due to Medicaid expansion. We have to fight for our neighbors.

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent.

George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s.

Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency.

Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

When we survive this dark chapter and there are sane people back in charge, can we agree that education and specifically civics education to ensure an informed, educated citizenry will be a high priority?

There’s an awful lot of “it’s over” and “we won’t survive this” going around. I’m not naive to the danger, I’m just not convinced these people are capable of destroying everything and I’m convinced there are plenty of good, capable, committed people who are not going to just roll over and take it.
