What do people think of Talarico in Texas? Just heard him in an interview for the first time, and the best word I can think of to describe him is β€œrefreshing.”

As the kids say, don’t just talk about it. Be about it! That’s why I’m putting my money where my mouth is when it comes to civic education. Will you? Read my latest to learn more.

Analysis: Every election is a change election now | CNN Politics The pendulum of power is swinging more and more frequently in the United States.

This is an interesting analysis by CNN. People keep voting for the opposition because they want something different. However, we need to improve civic education to help voters understand that β€˜different’ doesn’t always mean β€˜better.’ www.cnn.com/2025/09/07/p...

Feeling overwhelmed by politics? Just focus on one positive thing you have the skills or talent to do.

We need to understand how politics is SUPPOSED to work so we can use our votes and voices to hold politicians accountable. We need a crash course in US government and politics so that we can work together to fix what has broken instead of just trying to survive amongst the rubble.

Pre-order today!

America has strayed so far away from the system our forefathers created that it's going to be incredibly hard to find our way back.

At a time like this, we need civic education more than ever. We need to remember our history. 3/4

I don't think anyone could have anticipated that a President of the United States would bully the Smithsonian into changing museum displays, force ivy league universities to remove certain courses, and withhold funding from K-12 schools across the country until they change their curriculum. 2/4

When I wrote this book, I had no idea that it would be released on the eve of our nation's 250th birthday, in the midst of a second Trump Administration, at a time when he is literally challenging the way our schools and museums teach American history. 1/4

I think independent redistricting commissions would be a great idea in every state, so we agree there! Otherwise, a second body with longer terms and larger districts would just be a Senate by another name.

I get it. If I lived in California, New York, or Texas, I would hate the Senate too because it seems so undemocratic. However, it was part of the β€œGreat Compromise” for a reason. Our friends in small states would quickly get tired of being outvoted in Congress on issues important to them.

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but the Senate is there to counterbalance the House. With elections every two years in the House and members only having to win the votes of a few thousand neighbors instead of their whole states, Congress would be even more useless and chaotic without the Senate.

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that millions of Americans are learning how the legislative process works by watching this. It has been 49 years since Schoolhouse Rock’s β€œI’m Just A Bill” aired on TV.

Heard a guy say once that she invented Hip-Hip, which is laughably untrue, but she did help introduce it to a mainstream audience with the song β€œRapture” and its video.

For people who don’t want to click the link, it’s a Facebook reel of a casino slot machine for the Big Beautiful Bill, and it’s preposterous.

You did it again @netflix.com! #Squidgame3 is a brilliant reflection of the human condition: Greed and cruelty dominate the majority, but a defiant minority based on love and helping others ultimately wins. And chef’s kiss on the ending! The ultimate game of greed and capitalism belongs in the USA!

Polling relies on scientific methodology, but none of that matters if you don’t have the right sample. It’s all about who they include in their sample and whether those people accurately represent the voters who will participate in the election.

When I lived in South Carolina in my 20s, I wasn’t on Medicaid, but I got all of my birth control, pap smears, and annual checkups at Planned Parenthood because it was the most affordable option without insurance. So many young women will lose basic health coverage because of this decision.

Tapping out because you’re hurt is one thing, but all of the women leaving together because they think they can’t hold their own against men is crazy and sends a horrible message. Kudos to Cheney for sticking it out. #NakedAndAfraid #LastONEStanding

I used to check X to see what conservatives were saying about a given topic, but now it’s just a nonstop commercial for Elon and his businesses. What happened? I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to suck more air out of a room than Trump, but here we are.

Any form of political violence, especially against elected officials, must be whole-heartedly condemned.

Our hearts are with the state of Minnesota and the Hortman and Hoffman families.
