Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11.
24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues.

They Helped Rebuild After 9/11. Now They Live in Fear of Deportation.
Nearly 25 years after clearing rubble at ground zero, undocumented workers could gain a pathway to citizenship with a bill from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being reintroduced today.

The large number of senior European leaders who are accompanying Zelensky to the White House tomorrow is not exactly testimony to their trust in Trump. Quite the contrary. It is one of the most remarkable open acts of distrust of a US president ever.

I’m uncertain if we are over-policed or have overly militarized police in America. But we don’t have to resolve this now. We just have to say that, with an authoritarian administration in power, we should oppose all efforts to give them now more instruments of force and coercion.
