I was born before the Berlin Wall. I lived long enough to see it fall.
Now I watch a new wall rising in America—not of concrete, but of minds—an invisible barrier forged by the loss of our democracy.
I believe I will live long enough to see it come down too.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

While Trump was golfing this weekend and Ted Cruz was vacationing in Greece, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum quietly sent rescue teams to help with the Texas floods.
Despite the racist and sexist attacks from weak men, she still did the right thing. That's leadership.

Today I introduced the BARK Act to help America feed hungry shelter animals. We need everyone involved to get this bi-paw-tisan bill passed into law, including from our furry friends. We’re in dogged pursuit of passage this Congress.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
