Happy Mother's Day to all the hopeful mamas-to-be who it just hasn't happened for yet. I see all of you and am sending all the flowers to your hopeful ready-to-be-mama hearts. Today can be tough, but chin up -- our roses will bloom one day. ❤

Here’s the thing: Democrats (and the Dem base) can gloat about how we were right about Trump or we can use this window to provide genuine outreach with a strong, forward facing economic message. But we can’t do both. Not in a real way. So choose.

Excited and nervous that my thoughts on the 2024 election, the role the economy played, & the path forward are featured here: "On the Need to Go Bigger."

I haven't cried almost at all since November and I've cried multiple times watching the #GRAMMYs tonight. And I know that sounds silly, but I'm processing that and relearning that art plays such as an important -- even crucial -- role in oppressive, turbulent times.
