After Nashville, children's bodies weren't even cold when our Senate gutted background checks for pistols. Today, as they strip away concealed carry permits, schoolchildren watch from the gallery—looking down at the very lawmakers abandoning their safety. My heart breaks for them. #EnoughIsEnough

Democrats treat power like fine china. Republicans wield it like a sledgehammer. If we don’t fight harder and stop hesitating to use power for good, we’ll lose more than elections—we’ll lose democracy itself. My op-ed on why the time for restraint is over: medium.com/@michael_905...

This is one of the most shameful moments in American leadership we’ve seen in our nation’s history. Every American should be embarrassed by this display from an insecure, thin skinned, narcissist. Unfortunately global peace is at stake.

This is a betrayal of everything our nation has stood for, our UN Ambassador is un-American. No other way to say it.

Comcast owns NBC Universal. They’re clearly caving to the bullying by the White House. Where is the outrage from the censorship bros?

No offense @maddow, the question isn't whether public participation benefits democratic politicians. When people embrace democracy, it inspires elected officials, fellow citizens, and those yearning for freedom around the world. Today, the people are leading.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Students with student loans, homeowners with FHA loans, small business owners with SBA loans, children in Head Start, kids on Child Health Insurance Plan, families relying on SNAP, children fed by the national school lunch program…. To the world’s richest man, all parasites.

A measles outbreak in Texas has hospitalized 7 children while political interference hampers CDC's ability to communicate health risks. Our kids deserve better than politics interfering with public health research and recommendations. Shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/h...

The self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" turns into a quivering rage machine the moment journalists expose his lies. A billionaire who throws tantrums and legal threats like a spoiled child when his carefully constructed facade cracks.
