Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Amazing turnout in Austin today and all across the country! Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, and to those who checked in virtually. Weโ€™re always in awe of the way people show up for each other and stand together.

"Juan" harvests peaches in CAs SJ Valley. "It's HOT during the short peak season and it's hard to keep up the pace needed to make extra money. We climb a 14ft ladder. Our full bag weighs 40 lbs. We run to the crate and back to start again. We earn $30 per 900lb crate." #WeFeedYou

Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called โ€œpresence patrolsโ€ in Iraq.

โ€œIf you donโ€™t have a specific task & purpose, your โ€˜presenceโ€™ doesnโ€™t do anything.โ€

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldierโ€™s time & effort.

McClintockโ€™s vote for the so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' hurts rural health In his Mountain Democrat op-ed, Rep. Tom McClintock praised the so-called โ€œBig, Beautiful Bill,โ€ saying now weโ€™ll see what it really does. For El Dorado County, thatโ€™s exactly the concern.

Check out this article, in which EDC Democratic Party Chair Margaret Fortune defends the importance of Medicaid for our community and health! "McClintock's vote for the so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' hurts rural health." (Mountain Democrat)

Today in history, 1945: The U.S., the U.K., France and the Soviet Union sign the London Charter, establishing laws and procedures for the Nuremberg trials. The charter stipulated the offenses to be prosecuted: war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. /1

The HONEST Act is long overdue. GET IT PASSED!

Ban members of Congress, the president, and the vice president from buying stock.

Friends โ€” I'm pleased to be joining The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert on Monday (8/4). I'm sure Stephen and I will have a lot to discuss, including my new book "Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America."

Please tune in so the ratings don't come up short.

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.
