Democracy isn’t easy.
It requires knowledgeable citizens voting, participating and caring.
May we all commit to a New Year of focused participation and accountability.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and the finest of New Years.

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.

Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.

Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
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.

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.”

Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.

This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “We have to pray not only with our lips but with our actions… Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade, without doing all we can to stop it, is broken and in need of moral repair.”

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:

✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

WCK doesn’t only serve hot meals—we help communities rebuild more substantial food systems. In Ukraine, our Chicken Kit Project launched in 2025 to support frontline families who rely on backyard agriculture. (1/4)

In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK
