United for Human Rights Conference 2026. It was an amazing experience and a great reminder to continue to educate our communities about human rights and fight for them.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

How many days has it been? How many arrests have been made in America following the Epstein Files release?

It's almost like our owners won't let us do anything about it 🤔

When the going gets tough, the imitation tough attack a marginalized ethnic group with next to no ability to defend themselves.

A reminder: almost all crime in America is committed by our fellow Americans; often by our neighbors and folks we know.

I Was Thinking About Space And Not The One Between Us My own thoughts. Based on the song, “In Another World,” by EJAE.

Decided to write this. Enjoy.

I’ve been done playing nice a long time ago with people who think they’re always right when clearly they aren’t. Especially if they possess extremely harmful views.

This really is a great picture:

Premiering March 24th on Disney+.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to live so far away from certain places.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

I was an election worker in 2024. A senior position. The ONLY people I turned away from the polls because of invalid ID were US Citizens legally registered to vote. Some had expired licenses or passports. One even had their voter registration card but we had to turn them away. Not immigrants.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

Reminder for this Election Year!

“Are you unsatisfied?” Happy V day. #valentinesday #ladyinred

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

EVERYTHING radiates
from within
YOU.

The SAVE Act will make it harder to vote, especially for women and minorities.

This is a reminder that judges, be they elected directly, or be they put in place by another elected official, in the end they are put in place by We The People who vote in EVERY election.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

I’m going to say it again for those in the back… Kamala Harris owes us absolutely nothing!!!

Oldham County GOP cuts the mic on Thomas Massie.

“I am a congressman. I don’t work for the Speaker of the House, I work for you.”

Whatever you think of Massie, this moment explains why his own party despises him.

Homemade pizza with Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, and sweet peppers with 6 cheese spaghetti sauce, a Mexican blend of shredded cheese, and a homemade yeast crust with garlic salt and Italian seasoning mixed into the dough

Being an adult means I can make pizza twice in a row if I want to 😆

I made my crust this time

As always: I wish everyone full bellies and warm safe beds

And yes this is raw its baking as I type this

The song “In Another World” by EJAE describes me so well when it comes to both friendships and relationships.

Not going to lie, the song made me think of a certain someone.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

I cannot over-emphasize how important it will be for people to make a plan to vote early in-person this year.
