Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Trump is welcoming MBS, the Saudi crown prince, to the White House. This is the dictator who had a U.S. columnist murdered for criticizing the Saudi royal family.
Sadly, we have a president who prefers the Saudi model — an autocracy run by a trillionaire family — to democracy.

Fascinating, a clear picture of the material prosperity the US system generates. I bet it's strongly driven by female labor participation and technology/education/specialization. Real question: why do people feel so poor? Could it be social media??

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

This is what thoughtful leadership looks like:
A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

He wants to dictate what the press can say.

Weekends. The 40-hour work week. Sick days.
That didn't just happen. Organized labor did that.
And today, we celebrate how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go to build an economy – and a country – that works for working people.

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.
That's not what the American people want.
