When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!

Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.
Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.

This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

Thousands of people are already suffering from the closure of USAID. Thousands will die. The global aid sector has been totally paralyzed.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

The Very Rev Gary Hall, also speaking on behalf of Rev Marian Edgar Budde, implored action on gun measures. I still remember the very moving rendition of Méditations that followed. That piece still haunts me. cathedral.org/sermons/the-...

It's unsurprising that there is reporting about Trump changing his tune on Project 2025 & supporting parts of it. Last August when he said he'd never read it, I did a little research & wrote about the connectivity. joycevance.substack.com/p/more-lies-...

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last few days taking stock. Very much unlike 2016, I feel neither despair nor paralysis. Instead, I shift between a clear-eyed detachment and a grim determination.
