A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

I passed these two U-Haul box containers in someone's yard and wondered what the heck was going on, and then I realized that someone had set up a pantry. #neighborhoodpantry #feedthehungry #SNAP

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

I really appreciate that Obama has come out using his community organizing skills to keep us honest, clear-eyed and urging us to continue prying the wedge opened on Tuesday. We love and respect his guidance. My thanks for you President Obama @barackobama.bsky.social

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Dems won some very important races last night, but with him still in charge, I don’t think Democrats should party too hard or let their guard down.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
