Democratic women made history tonight: Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia. Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey. I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver for their states. 🎉

Attention player haters and disbelievers of all kinds…

D’Angelo was one of a kind. As a pioneer in neo-soul, he inspired a generation of singers, and helped shape music today. Michelle and I are thinking of his family, and all those who loved and admired him. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/art…

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the governor of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the United States and now current president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken. Nothing I can say can bring back Charlie Kirk."

PBS and NPR stations are on the verge of losing the federal funding that has helped keep them on the air for decades. Here's what will happen if lawmakers zero out the $$$... cnn.com/2025/07/16/med…

This isn’t hypothetical. Medicaid cuts = lives lost. That’s why we’re turning our bodies into headstones. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

Every grave marker = a person whose care could be ripped away. We’re not here to mourn — we’re here to fight. #MedicaidSavesLives #ThisBillKills

UPDATE: David Huerta had been released from custody.

Republican leaders just passed legislation that will rip healthcare from our families to line the pockets of the mega-rich. We should make healthcare better for everyone, not take it away. All those who voted for this bill will be held accountable. seiu.org/2025/05/seius-…

🌟Exciting News!🌟 Thrilled to be joining @BerlinRosen! In these difficult times, I’m proud to be part of a team dedicated to supporting those leading the charge for equity, fairness, and justice around the world.

Lead poisoning is a scourge around the world, costing lives and billions of IQ points and yet rarely getting adequately addressed. Glad to see a new push by @PowerUSAID, @albrgr, @UNICEF and others to address it in the developing world. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

One of Open Philanthropy’s goals is to collaborate more often with other funders. Today, we’re excited to announce our biggest collaboration to date – the Lead Exposure Action Fund (LEAF). Lead exposure causes an estimated 1.5 million deaths each year. But until recently, total donor funding for the problem was only about $15 million/year – less than 1% of what goes toward other neglected health challenges like tuberculosis or malaria. Thanks to our generous partners, LEAF will be able to allocate at least $104 million between now and 2027. We estimate this will roughly double donor funding for this issue. openphilanthropy.org/research/annou…

To a packed standing room only audience, @PowerUSAID is launching the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future. And to quote @potus: It’s a BFD.

Millions of kids are poisoned by lead every year. @PowerUSAID and @albrgr have a plan to save them. wapo.st/3Bb84ZX
