On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

McMahon goes on record saying private schools funded by taxpayer vouchers—including a federal voucher scheme—do and should have the right to turn children away if those children don’t fit those private schools’ needs. It’s not parent choice. It’s the school’s choice.

Thank you governor. I hope some Republican legislators can dig up the courage to vote to sustain the veto. It seems to me, the conservative position is to protect the rights of families to make their own needed health care decisions.

As a parent of two kids with special needs, I'm pretty damn excited to know that a racist billionaire who routinely uses the slur "r*tards" is destroying the federal department that's a bulwark for special education and support for disabled children.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

In her first speech on House floor, Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., @mcbride.house.gov gave a beautiful talk that showed what real representation is about. It was even more impactful because she was insulted by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill. as she was introduced. This shows difference between Dems & GOP.

In Kansas, the folks pushing vouchers are the same folks that pushed the Brownback tax experiment that almost cratered our state. Like the failed Brownback tax fiasco, vouchers benefit the wealthy at the expense of middle class and poor #ksleg #ksed

Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!

Kansans take note: Republican legislative leaders are trying to push the same scam here. Not only will you be paying for private school for wealthy families but your children will be unable to attend those schools. It is the worst idea since the Brownback tax cuts #ksleg #ksed

Can some attorneys or legal organizations file for a TRO against DOGE's operations? From what I've read, it sounds like people with no authority are gaining access to our publicly-funded agencies and computer systems and making funding decisions of our tax money that are contrary to the law.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Just a reminder: Kamala Harris told the truth. There is Project 2025, the tariffs are a tax on consumers, he is using the office for revenge, he only cares about himself. The only thing she missed was his imperialism. Then again Greenland, Canada, and Panama Canal? That is weird even for him.
