My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

"The Wisconsin Democrats were defending their narrow Supreme Court majority—but the spirit of their campaign wasn’t defensive. Nor did they over-think or over-analyze their task. They went on offense." And take note: it worked.

750+ people showed up in the small Village of Warwick because we all deeply believe in what Benjamin Franklin said in 1787 at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention: America would be a republic. If we could keep it. We will never bend a knee to a king. Or wannabe king.

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death. Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

Commentary: We’re hungry for some hope. We’re looking for some guidance. We’re casting about for role models — for ourselves and for our kids. We’re listening for someone to say: This is not the America we’ve been working toward. This is not normal. In Booker’s speech, we heard it.

My Latest: Cory Booker showed us what courage looks like by standing up and speaking out in one’s town square. He showed us how it can help shape reality. He demonstrated that it can inspire others and thus can make a real difference in the fight for democracy.

Everyone should be able to choose their own healthcare provider. But today, right-wing extremists want to deny Medicaid recipients that fundamental right and continue their assault on healthcare. The Supreme Court must stand with the people and protect patients' rights.

Trump has already damaged the economy with his abysmal foreign policy and loyalty to special interests, but the worst is yet to come. Trump’s “Day of Liberation” will be remembered like Black Tuesday. He will own the destruction that follows.
