so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

Paid leave does not hurt business. A federal paid leave program would reduce turnover and training costs. It would help employers and level the playing field for small businesses. It would increase performance and productivity. There is a proven, positive return on the investment. #PaidLeaveForAll

Paid leave reduces pay gaps, retirement gaps, savings and wealth gaps. It offers all working people the ability to work and care with more freedom, security, and dignity. #PaidLeaveForAll

“No one should have to choose between paying their rent or taking care of their families… this is not the choice a wealthy country should be forcing its families to make. This is a moral and policy failure.” @repilhan.bsky.social at the House Committee on Education & Workforce hearing today

Opinion | New Dads Aren’t a ‘Waste of Time and Space’

“Research suggests that fathers who take paternity leave have higher levels of life satisfaction, better health, better marriages and better relationships to their children.” Paid leave benefits whole families and communities. #PaidLeaveForAll

I haven’t watched most of the Olympics and it’s a tiny anecdote but I’ll tell you this: Watching women jump for joy and lift each other up for the other’s win, watching them embrace and cry with their nanny—my tired soul needed that.

This entire world order can and must be different.

What a contrast. The man robbing working Americans to enrich the Epstein class and build concentration camps, bombing to distract from heinous crimes. And the woman who will pass paid leave, lower costs, improve education and housing. Government can be a profound power for good—it’s what we make it.

Let’s not become desensitized by the flood. These are human beings. People, babies, nursing mothers, neighbors. And the money for imprisoning them is the money the Republicans claim we do not have, for food or health or paid leave or care.

They’re robbing you to put people in concentration camps.

In this moment, we need leaders who will stand up to our wannabe, Donald Trump, not vote alongside him.

No one knows that better than @indivisible.org and the @mnindivisible.bsky.social. That's why I'm so proud to have earned their endorsement.

These Democrats aren't ready to jettison big business as party stalwarts shift left The New Democrat Coalition has a moderate plan — shared first with CNBC — to propel their party to win control of the House in November.

Some issues unite the Democratic caucus—and voters across party. “There are some areas where the New Democrats’ road map intersects with progressive goals. The New Democrats are endorsing the creation of a universal paid family and medical leave program” #PaidLeaveForAll www.cnbc.com/2026/02/11/e...

As of today, 1 am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman.
I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values.
I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to passively stand by.
Artists deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity. This decision reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust.

1. Chappell Roan says she is no longer represented by the Wasserman agency, which is owned by major Democratic donor and LA Olympics chairman Casey Wasserman.

This comes after emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell were revealed in the last Epstein files dump.

In the US, the DOJ is refusing to comply with the law, and Ghislaine Maxwell thinks she can buy her clemency. Meanwhile, other countries are demanding accountability and forcing leaders to step down.

Tomorrow, I’m going to the DOJ to see the unredacted files. The fight for justice continues.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
