Rep Adriano Espaillat
Rep Maxwell Frost
Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
Sen Andy Kim
Rep Eric Swalwell
Rep Pramila Jayapal
Sen Chris Murphy

Lawmakers claim rooting out taxpayer waste is a priorityβ€”so why does FL's billion-dollar voucher program get a free pass? πŸ’Έ

Food stamps & public schools face strict accountability. Voucher programs, funded by taxpayers, should have the same standards. πŸ”— https://bit.ly/4nnGgV6

one of the most upsetting things about coming up in 1990s evangelicalism is watching all the people who built an entire entertainment industry fetishizing individual conscience in the face of public censure turn out to be bog-standard cowards with I think the sole exception of Amy Grant

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Have you read Shit, Actually by Lindy West? The audiobook makes me giggle like crazy and her opinions on movies (and Nic Cage) are correct.

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: β€œThe wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters
