Leader Thune just called 22 million Americans a "fraction of a fraction." We think lowering healthcare costs for 22 million Americans is much more than that, Senator.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.

Thune has held Senate leadership roles during the three longest shutdowns. How can we trust him to effectively run Congress or represent the people of South Dakota?

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Across the vastness of this vapid space
I long to find a quiet place
Where we who gaze and scroll too long
Will find relief in quiet calm
Away from posts that seem to jerk
From fun, to tragic, banal, to work
While these apps, my attentions grasp
I think it's time to go touch grass

Brain just won't turn off tonight. Can we just shut down, is that acceptable? How is there simultaneously so much to do and no need to stay up and do the things.

Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to show their faces will arrest you because of the color of your skin or even because you spoke out against Trump. And Republicans in Congress just boosted their funding. Call it what it is. It's fascism.

Loneliness is the root cause of so many of the mental health crises in our society. It’s time to stand up to the way that Big Tech has tried to put their algorithms in the middle of all our social interaction.

Things feel heavy today. They might feel lighter or heavier tomorrow. But for today, I think it's OK to put a few things down for a couple of hours.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
