I miss having a president who treated people with basic human decency and could communicate clearly and coherently.

There is nothing more patriotic than opposing a tyrannical government in fact, it's your civic duty! 🇺🇸💙

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: ‘I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

There is one fix: VOTE. Get some candidates in there who can defeat these politicians, judges etc who serve our rogue government.

Associating with Jeffrey Epstein or attempting a coup will land you in prison in the UK or South Korea.

In America, doing both lands you in the White House.

🇺🇦‼️ Russian agents rented apartments near the presidential office with orders to eliminate Zelensky, — CNN

It was one of dozens of Russian attempts. The elimination was a key part of Russia’s plan to take over Ukraine, which Moscow expected to complete in a matter of days.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice demanded I turn over voters’ private information - I said no. In Colorado, we will not help anybody undermine elections and attack American voters.

I will never stop defending American democracy! And I will never back down from bullies like Donald Trump.

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause.

I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

Congratulations to the US Women's Hockey team for winning Gold! Well done ladies!

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Reading books is addictive.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

$4 BILLION — So corrupt.

There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.

In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too lightly, we esteem too cheaply.... Thomas Paine
