Yesterday Emma Wilkins (10) knelt in front of the Ed committee asking Rep. Lamberth & Sen. Watson to “Stop Attacking My Friends” and not go after kids with their cruel bill aimed at blocking undocumented kids from our schools

Republicans passed it anyway

I ran out of audiobook listening hours on Spotify with one hour left in my book and it’s driving me CRAZY.

🔥 @RepAlGreen still fighting for the people TODAY with a message for Elon Musk

Democratic Congressman Removed From Chamber After Protesting Trump's National Address "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid," Rep. Al Green yelled while pointing his cane toward Trump.

Thank you, Rep. Al Green.

Went to see Hamilton at the Orpheum this weekend. Cried somewhere between 7-12 times. Worth every penny 😌

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

this time last year, i walked into vanderbilt hopeful and nervous and eager. five hours later, my beautiful baby girl was born just before 2 am.

Thank you, Janet Mills.

This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

The funny thing is that "cafe Americano" was coined as something of an insult—a term for watered-down coffee

Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program. Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid.

This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid.

It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

i asked my son not to do something and he turned around and asked me to “stop seeing it” 🙄

also i had this and wore it probably too much.

an important thing to know about me is that i 1) love andy samberg and 2) had this sticker on my car in 2012.

up in new england, they have what i think are more commonly called service areas which are just that! green space, sometimes with a gas station, and a bathroom. i’ve always wondered why we don’t see more all-in-one stops like that more often.

follow me for more hot takes about life on the road

all rest areas should have family bathrooms. and more of them should have playgrounds.
