Make no mistake, Donald Trump is peddling Russian propaganda and trying to rewrite history—while propping up autocratic regimes and undermining our democratic allies. We will not be gaslit. America stands with Ukraine and our allies.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back?

The world could certainly use a little more kindness right now. My 150 7th grade English students drew a random classmate’s name and had a month to plan, carry out and reflect on an act of kindness for that person. We are breaking down social barriers and normalizing compassion. #nced
