Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down?

Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

Two of my friends died of cancer this week. One, lung cancer; the other, breast cancer. And two other friends celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary today. Joy and sorrow, woven fine.

I'm a breast cancer survivor. I'm likely to be a cancer patient again. I pray for cutting edge research to extend the time I have with my kids.

This breaks my heart.

It's going to lead to so much death.

There's a twisted strategy behind Trump 2.0's assault on the national parks. It begins with breaking the most popular of the nation's public assets.

Read all about it in my latest Substack post, "DOGE-ing the national Parks: First, Break Them."

Thank you. Flying home to Walnut Creek next week — with some trepidation for the first time in a long life of flying.
I was proud to play a key role in last year’s bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization that made significant investments in aviation safety. Now, to ensure the protection of the flying public, we must make certain that the FAA fully implements these investments. (1/2)

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

👍🏼car but -0- interest in paying regime’s tariffs.

From “Progressive Poet”@caligreg.bsky.social :

“The Ford Mach-E is an amazing car.
American, electric, fast, and goes far.
It’s now $2,000 more due to his games.
His on/off tariff tantrums are to blame.”
