I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders...
Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.

I’ve gotta wonder what’s the point of Disney taking beloved animated classics, and creating “live action” versions that are largely comprised of CGI.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Yes, THIS is the lowest point. Not the systematic eradication of Native Americans. Not slavery. Not Japanese internment camps. THIS is the lowest point. Lmao y’all never cease to amaze me with your bullshit.
I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history.
And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

I love backing comics projects on Kickstarter. A great way to get some new fresh stories, support artists.
My latest is Dark Pink - a radical comic book set in 80s New Orleans, combining a noir detective story with supernatural elements and unique music integration never seen in a comic before.

I know she’s only talking like this because she’s not seeking reelection but I think it would be good if the entire senate considered there might not be another election and behaved accordingly

I am but one person, but what I want from Democrats is for them to be obstructionist assholes. That's it. I can accept that they cannot "do anything." I cannot accept that they are unable to stop other people from getting anything done in a timely fashion.
CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough?
SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.
