A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? A Saturday Prompt

β€œMuch like we may look at a photo of JFK…moments before his assassination in Dallas and wonder how that terrible tragedy could have happened, we may look at this photo of Trump and wonder how this terrible tragedy is happening in our Oval Office now.”

George Retes, a 25-year-old Army veteran, told ICE agents he was a U.S. citizen. They didn’t care. They tear-gassed him, beat him, and locked him in jail for three days without a phone call. He missed his daughter’s third birthday. No charges, no apology. Just cruelty, sanctioned by the state.

Its absolutely unacceptable that the government shutdown affects air travel.

Not paying air traffic controllers and TSA is a disaster waiting to happen.

People's lives are not a bargaining chip for your political agenda

Trump’s pivot to affordability lasted 48 hours.

Everything is fine, peasants. He fixed it already, why are you complaining?

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Missouri is the only state in the nation to tax income, but not capital gains.

We are also ranked 50th in the nation for education funding.

Please join me in sending one message to the Dems:

DO. NOOTTTTTTT. FUCKING. CAVE!!!!

Don’t you fucking do it!!

If they want government open, THEY have to bend and come to us, and not with some bullshit deal that lasts just until they get reelected.

We have already suffered. DO NOT make it

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Sick of the questions wondering if Zohran is "too young" at 34 from the same people who think Trump isn't "too old" at 79 & failing health.

BTW, Jefferson was 33, Madison was 25, Hamilton was 21, & Monroe was 18, & y'all trust them as infallible.

Vote Zohran Mamdani on Nov 4. Let's do this.

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran The Senate minority leader says he’s still talking with Zohran Mamdani, despite the election being just days away.

How can this man be a leader of the Democratic Party moving forward?

Bloomberg just doubled down on his support for Cuomo.

Bloombergβ€”who has hoarded $109.4Bβ€”has spent $8M to get Cuomo elected. That's like the average American household spending $4.38.

Billionaires got us into this affordability crisis. They will not get us out. Abolish billionaires. Vote Mamdani.
