My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

When 49.8% of voters elected a would-be dictator, we knew there would be bad days ahead. This is one of them. He’s determined to destroy Harvard if he can’t control it. And bribery is the main course at tonight’s dinner for his crypto pals. Stay strong, folks. This country is worth fighting for.

My golden years are not what I expected.

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

In his words and leadership I find great hope.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Very well said, Mr. De Niro.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

russia invaded Ukraine. Twice. russia launches missiles at Ukrainian cities. Daily. russia murders, tortures and kidnaps Ukrainians. Hourly. Unprovoked and unjustified. Stand with the victim, blame the aggressor. We are stronger when united. #StandWithUkraine
