It's wild to see elected officials stand 10 toes down against ANY sensible gun reform because "IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION!" but be really flexible around #Trump running for a third term.
They don't just think the branches of government aren't co-equal, neither are constitutional amendments.

Even for those we most vehemently and passionately disagree with, political violence is the antithesis of the ideals of democracy and no one should be a victim of it - full stop.

Trying to be a good father is incredibly hard work.
Trying to be a good father is an incredible blessing & privilege to have.
Two things can be true at the same time - especially when they are both grounded in unconditional love.
Happy Father's Day 👍🏾

Rumeysa Ozturk was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to.
She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process.
Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.

Massachusetts is home to universities and research institutions that lead our country in saving lives and creating jobs. Trump's NIH cuts put them at risk.
We won't allow this Administration to play politics with our public health or undermine our economy.
We're suing.

It's kind of great watching all of the karma from KC's BS wins during the season catching up with them in one game. #SuperBowl

The irony of a post decrying the Department of Education as largely unnecessary, while also misspelling "indoctrinate" is just such a perfect encapsulation of so much that is wrong with this Administration.
Let's say it again class, elections have consequences.

So what have we learned (proved) in 1 week with this Administration?
1) That "When someone shows you who they are, believe them" stays undefeated.
2) Chaos is a bitter flavor of government.
3) Plans & preparation > panic

I think yesterday was the worst @ohiostatefb.bsky.social vs *ichigan game I have ever seen.
The worst part is that the expanded playoffs mean we can't definitively close the Ryan Day chapter for weeks.

Suuuper excited to see this possible RFK appointment for #HHS. Water without fluoride, difficulty accessing vaccines and obstacles to reproductive care? This is going to be the worst 19th century cosplay ever.
