Let’s go Texas! Choose the freedom to vote.
We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

The”I didn’t know” game is maddening. Who’s in charge? “Anybody, Buehler?”
DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?
RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research
D: I just read them to you!

On the walk to the bus this morning the bird song was so cheerful, I didn’t turn on the news. Then walking home I was treated to a neighbor’s blooming lilac. We may have a blooming season after all.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well?
GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available
WARNER: We have a trade surplus!
