Journalists at the national and local level should be clear-eyed about the challenges of political accountability reporting today. We should be equally clear that we won’t be dissuaded from that reporting.

The Congressional special elections are our opportunity to fix this! The Democrats can win back 2 seats, meaning no more Speaker Johnson. If we win the 3rd seat in NY-21, we have Speaker Jeffries. I’m Gay Valimont, and my race in FL-1 has national implications. Get involved: gayforcongress.com

I have friends who are genuinely confused when I point out to them that being politically engaged is a luxury item lots of folks don't invest time or money into. They don't think deeply about politics until and unless it directly affects them. It's an alien thought (and I get it!), but it's true.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

I just sent a letter to the NIH urging them to reverse their devastating funding cuts to health care institutions & research facilities. As the lead Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I’m demanding answers for the American people and the institutions they depend on.

If you call yourself an ally, it’s time to step up. We aren’t going back and we will not be silent. We’re here, we’re queer, we’re everywhere. If Stonewall taught us anything, it’s don’t piss off the drag queens. World Pride is in DC this year. You know what to do. #resist #LGBTQIA #TransRights

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.
