Everybody's upset abt this or that thing Dems did or didn't do at the faux-SOTU. Poor messaging, poor this, bad that. Very few of those things matter much or will be things we'll remember in a couple months. What they do on the CR really does matter. A LOT. That shld be 10x more focus anything else.

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered:
Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t.
Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

You can’t have a democracy without libraries.
Democracy is a practice. It starts at the local level by building connection and community. So check out what’s going on at your local branch!
Reading, learning, listening, chatting, connecting—this is democracy.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

AG Tong is my AG. Proud of him.
This is exactly what we need!
AG William Tong (D-CT) and other states are suing Trump and the Secretary of Treasury to block DOGE’s access to confidential records, sensitive data, and critical payment systems.
“This represents the biggest data breach in American history, and we are fighting back.”
