Wife, mother, volunteer, retired realtor. Love books, my father’s poems, Amy’s pictures, walking my dog, and keeping calm on Cape Cod. Grateful for good friends.

The news of violence today comes on the heels of the horrific attack at Brown University, a college campus where young people should have the sanctuary to learn.

Watching violence ravage our students, our families, and our faith communities again and again leaves me, and so many, feeling helpless.

Not enough people are talking about this:

Today, the Senate has one last chance to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire.

I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.

Right on!

Alabama finally has someone ready to fight for the Alabama instead of letting Tuberville, a non-resident drifter, run his mouth from Florida.

Doug is stepping in with actual roots, actual plans, and an actual stake in the future of the state.

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

VOTE on Tuesday, Nov 4. Local elections matter! Here on Cape Cod, I’m supporting an exceptional candidate - Barry Sheingold for Barnstable Town Council, Precinct 12. Barry’s focus on common causes (water, air, roads, civility) is uniting disparate constituencies. Support your communities. VOTE

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond.

Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics.

This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists.

Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter.

We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.

This is really good. They’re voting now if you have C-Span. Share so folks will understand what’s going on.
You may be wondering what the Senate is up to tonight… or what a rescissions bill is… or how Donald Trump is trying to gut public media and important foreign aid. Let me explain it to you.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
