The Trump/MAGA machine is lying to Virginia voters to permanently lock in power. Set the record straight for your friends and family. Pres. Obama and Gov. Spanberger are asking Virginia to #VoteYES See their Vote YES endorsements and more voting info here👉 ruralgroundgame.org/voteyes

Atlanta and the UK can cover a racist and sadistic Danville story, but our like 4 local Republican propaganda "news" outlets (print, digital, and broadcast) somehow miss this and every other unflattering story unless there is a political slant.

Virginia!! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING! VOTE YES ON REDISTRICTING!

These people have been totally silent about North Carolina Republicans' partisan gerrymander of our state for 15 years running - including just last year. They also vocally opposed Democrats' attempts to ban partisan gerrymandering nationally in 2021. What does that tell you?

A group of Ohio residents are trying to ban giant data centers across the state — and they've started the process of amending the state’s constitution to do so. In just 8 days this small rural group already got the 1,800 signatures needed to begin the process.

I reported this story and have been working around the clock since Saturday to cover the deaths and obtain definitive evidence so that we can confidently assign responsibility. We've been reviewing photos of the dust covered bodies of children and verifying their names against the names scrawled on little coffins. We've been debunking false claims about the attack and that the harrowing cemetery photo isn't real. And while it appeared obvious to many early on that the U.S. or Israel hit the school, it takes days to sift through, pinpoint and analyze the evidence. It took four days before a new satellite image we ordered came through so we could confidently assess the damage and the types of weapons used. All that reporting and cross checking and the production of the visuals showing it takes time. But it ultimately allows us to more confidently assert U.S. responsibility, explain our rationale and add to the body of reporting that officials should be challenged with. It's easy to critique a headline, and I agree language matters, but you diminish the reporting. We're not justifying anything, we're stating where the reporting points responsibility, and quoting legal experts on the laws of armed conflict. Here's a gift link nytimes.com/2026/03/05/wor…

Ms. Rachel reminds us that meaningful change often begins with how we nurture and teach the next generation. Through language, encouragement, and inclusive learning, she has created space for children and caregivers to feel seen, supported, and empowered. That work reflects a powerful truth: education rooted in care can help shape a more just and compassionate world. At The King Center, we firmly believe creating the Beloved Community starts with how we value and guide our children. #MLK #WomensHistoryMonth #BelovedCommunity #MsRachel

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran. I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Jewish Voice for Peace denounces the immoral and illegal war on Iran launched by the United States and Israel last night. These attacks expand the endless wars that could destroy the lives of tens of millions of people. We stand in solidarity with the people of Iran and against the U.S. and Israeli government’s imperial warmongering.

Donald Trump wants to send American troops to die overseas to appease Benjamin Netanyahu. My statement on the illegal regime change war with Iran:

My statement on Trump's illegal war on Iran:

My father on April 4, 1967, one year before he was assassinated: “I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government." Still…TODAY. #MLK #USA #AmericaAmerica #Iran #Israel

SHOCKING: @DelTonyWilt - why did you break with most of your party to vote against bipartisan SNAP funding?

Imagine seeing a doctor without checking your bank account. Childcare that doesn’t swallow half of your paycheck. Paid leave when life happens. We’re told it’s “too expensive” but there’s always endless money for ICE and wars without end. The problem isn’t cost. It’s priorities.
