Alex Ovechkin hit yet another NHL scoring milestone Wednesday night. The Washington Capitals captain recorded his 900th career goal against the St. Louis Blues.

Pretty fundamental feature of corruption.
Repost if you think President Trump's weaponization of the DOJ against his perceived political enemies (while letting his allies off the hook) is unacceptable and antidemocratic. 🔁

Despite the despicable intentional chaos we face every day, the world around us is beautiful. Today's moment of peace as the sun sets across the Pamlico Sound in the OBX.

Just a walk in the woods in Argentina, a small stream, and some autumn leaves. Peaceful beyond belief even if I almost fell in the water. 😅

As someone who has a large event coming up in May, I worry every day about our international attendees. Haven't advised them to cancel just yet, but certainly thinking about it.
Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions:
A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans.
I would like to amend my prior statement.
Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

The most important thing you must share today.
Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family.
Not sure why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hasn’t posted this here but can’t be posted enough.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:
1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

Four of Donald Trump’s nominees are especially dangerous to the security of the United States and to the well-being of its people, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily. “The Senate must turn back these nominations, and do so en bloc.”
