Phenomenal...2 big-idea people steeped in the history of democracy and politics. I had about 20 epiphanies, 5 ideas for essays. The media didn't seem to get it, so decide for yourself! I suspect I wouldn't have gotten much out of it if I hadn't been following @hcrichardson.bsky.social! THANKS!

Over 6 years ago, the House first passed my Enhanced Background Checks Act to close the Charleston Loophole that allowed a white supremacist to obtain the gun he used to murder nine worshipers at Emanuel AME Church on June 17, 2015. I'll never stop fighting to pass this law.

I’m about to leave for a short trip to Europe. In Romania, I will be the first U.S. government official to meet their newly elected pro-Western President. In France, I will give a speech on the need for the U.S. and Europe to work together to prevent massive job loss from AI.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Asked about a possible U.S. attack on Iran, Trump said: “I like to make a final decision one second before." He thinks it's a damn game show. Spin the wheel and see whether millions of people die.

This decision is trash and trans people deserve better. Yet again, SCOTUS has ruled to allow politically-motivated bans on access to healthcare that saves lives. No matter what the MAGA justices say, healthcare is a human right and that includes gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.
