I'm an avid bibliophile who has lived in several states and countries, and I'd like to think I'm more well rounded because of it. Books, Pokémon Go, and work is pretty much all I do. Occasionally, I like to take photos of my action figs and tons of my dog.

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

Making my dog wait for that reward. Blue heelers are wild, but she is food motivated, so that helps. 😂

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files:

Does any Republican not see the problem?

Stop the Government's Massive Privacy Invasion Government agencies are buying their way around our constitutional right to privacy by purchasing sensitive data instead of getting a warrant. Congress can put a stop to it.

ICE, CBP, and other law enforcement agencies are buying our personal information from data brokers instead of getting a warrant.

Tell Congress: The government cannot be allowed to buy its way around the Fourth Amendment.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Books and figs kind of night.

Some people need to pick up a book, and I have suggestions.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.

That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.

We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

“The problem isn't a lack of money, food, water or land. The problem is that you've given control of these things to a group of greedy psychopaths who care more about maintaining their own power than helping human kind.”

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.
