The current GOP lie is that theyโ€™re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities theyโ€™ve had since Obamacare passed, theyโ€™ve never once tried to replace it.

Theyโ€™ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Redistricting should be done with the input of the people, not just the powerful.

I joined my NC Democratic colleagues to introduce a bill to create more transparency in the redistricting process.

SNAP is What Jesus Would Be Doing. That's Why MAGA Christians Are Trying to Kill It. The sin of cruelty toward the hungry

Over and over, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of.

This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal.

Sunday vigil at Alligator Alcatraz grows in defiance of Trumpโ€™s immigration policy Leaders and believers from different faiths gather every Sunday at the gates of the Florida detention center to show their solidarity with those affected by the governmentโ€™s anti-immigrant campaign

Faith leaders across the country are spearheading efforts to resist President Trump's anti-immigrant agenda and to show up for the people that ICE has disappeared from our communities.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

We have a President who has taken every failed economic policy idea of the past 100 years, weaponized it and is calling it a success. We know what works and what doesn't. Lower tariffs create jobs, taxing the rich sends us to the Moon and back. We know how to grow a strong middle class in America.

Loved the Oscar Wilde quote read out at the start of Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction ceremony this evening:

โ€œIf you cannot write well, you cannot think well; if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.โ€

Yay books!
