Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway.

We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no.

So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no.

So we tried $500m! Every Republican
a no.

See what’s going on?

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

My husband makes my coffee most weekday mornings before work. This morning, he frothed the creamer and added cinnamon for me. He asked me if I had tried it yet when I was sitting at the table.

Me: Oo, that’s good!
Husband: 🥰
My daughter: You guys are flirting over coffee right now.

My daughter decorated this box and came up with the idea for the 3 of us to write nice messages to each other from now until Valentines Day when we can take them all out and read them. So that’s what we’re doing. ❤️
