"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

Have spent most of today writing a series of letters to people I've held dear who have, regrettably, supported Trump. I'm not ignoring or lying about the dissonance anymore. I'm not being unreasonable or hysterical about what's happening. It's time to take a stand.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Editor Commentary: Millions of Americans from doctors to farmers to veterans to children with special needs are living under threat. JD Vance once said, “Trump makes people I care about afraid.” Now he’s gleefully participating in their torment. It's sick.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

You know what I like? A lot? When someone explains to me, in great detail, the history of my archive's organization and every single detail is incorrect. Wrong. Untrue. Every single thing.

It’s so sad to see the libs try so hard to discredit this administration. Tell me how the president looks “powerless” here??? The president looks downright giddy! It’s the old orange guy at the desk who looks confused, frail and powerless. Try again wokesters.

So if we did like a TikTok channel where people read the Constitution aloud would people watch? Because it's pretty clear that very few people in this country, especially the people in the White House and Congress, have any idea what's in there (or are willfully pretending they have no idea).

There's been an awful lot of misinformed bleating about the SB halftime show. If you want to really understand what about it was so important, and aggravating to a certain part of the audience, read this fantastic piece by Karen Attiah. This is when art and music are most vital.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
