I’ve always believed that one of our jobs as leaders is to pass the baton on to the next generation –– and to give them the resources and support they need to lead us forward. On National Run for Office Day, check out @RFSCivics for the resources you need. runforsomethingcivics.net

Cue the Star Spangled Banner. 🇺🇸

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Blank checks for war. Budget cuts for healthcare.

Reminder as Trump says US troops may die: none of this had to happen. Obama had a comprehensive plan (JCPOA) to limit and track Iran’s nuclear capacity. Trump tore it up in 2017 with no back up plan at all. He never replaced it. Now we’re stuck striking Iran every 6 months.

Trump and Netanyahu seem to be totally unconcerned about the human beings - on all sides - who will suffer.

I can’t stop thinking about the last five days of Nurul Amin Shah Alam’s life. He was wandering around cold, hungry, confused and alone. Sick and slowing dying. He survived an actual genocide only to die in America due to the incompetence & cruelty of this regime.

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…

This refugee survived genocide in Burma but could not survive ICE in America. An unspeakable outrage.

Still can't really process that border patrol made the decision to leave a nearly-blind refugee outside a donut shop five miles from his house. And that he then (as could have easily been imagined) died. And that there likely won't be any accountability for this.

SHE GOT GAME. July 16-19. Viva Las Vegas.

If a Prince can be held accountable, so can a President.

I want to wrap your head around that number. $38.3 BILLION to warehouse humans. While millions are losing healthcare. While billionaires party. This isn’t “fiscal conservative” it’s a mass terror operation.

for the first time since 1972, there are zero legally binding limits on us and russian nuclear arsenals. 10,000+ warheads between them. no inspections. no verification. no successor treaty in sight. and it barely made the news cycle for 48 hours.

Can’t stop thinking about this horror being perpetrated by the US government…

In my opinion, in an act of solidarity the rest of the Democratic Governors should decline their invitations.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States. My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it’s hard not to see this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership. As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not. What makes it especially confounding is that just weeks ago I was at the White House with a bipartisan group of governors, working with the administration on reforms to lower energy costs and strengthen grid reliability. We proved in that moment what’s possible when we stay focused on outcomes over politics. As Governor of Maryland and Vice Chair of the NGA, my approach will never change: I’m ready to work with the administration anywhere we can deliver results. Yet, I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody but will bow down to nobody. And I guess the President doesn’t like that.

The vile video is racist. Period. And it came from a racist White House. If you can't say that, what are we doing here.

We'll remember who led this shit. We'll remember who cheered for this shit. We'll remember who expressed concern but went along with this shit. And we'll remember who twiddled their thumbs during this shit.
