To make change on any important issue, we must work together and find common ground. Nothing is more important than reducing gun violence in our country- it is now the #1 cause of death for our nation’s children. So appreciate the honest and thoughtful conversation with Gov. Christie this morning.

Thank you, Arne, for your leadership. This tone is needed, as we find ways to come together, as a People. If anyone’s child has an IEP with their teachers/school, these parents need to let their elected officials hear from them. The time is now.

For the last four years, Jennifer Abruzzo vigorously defended workers' rights and cracked down on union-busters as General Counsel at the National Labor Relations Board. She was one of the strongest pro-worker voices in the federal government. Trump just fired her.

Give him a few minutes… he’ll catch the wind as it blows in the other direction. Haven’t his previous actions shown that to be his go-to? Sen. Graham, stand on this for 100 days; then come back to talk.

The most revolutionary thing any elite University could do to win back America and rebuild trust with the public would be to commit to accepting the same percent of students from the bottom income quintile as they do from the top. Would be an absolute game changer. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/o...
