The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

European leaders commit to aid Ukraine militarily against future Russian attacks, if a peace deal is reached. Nothing Trump and Russia asked for will be part of deal, including their requests to occupy Ukrainian territory. The US was reduced to an observer role, France will lead the coalition.

It has been 13 years since my neighbor killed 26 in Sandy Hook. 13 years of more children & young people being shot at schools. 13 years of watching this country refuse to learn. How much longer until Americans choose children’s #FreedomToLive over guns?
As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?
