Weโ€™ve seen the pictures of Trump with Epstein and underage girls.

Where are the pictures of Trump doing volunteer work, on mission trips, or even at a church function?

He has nothing to show us but a sleazy past of self indulgence.

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring.

But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

Cory Booker is 100% with us:

โ€œWhat other Americans are doing, theyโ€™re not waiting for us in Congress to lead. Theyโ€™ve decided to take matters into their own hands and do something different. Those people were demanding that I catch upโ€”to try and do like theyโ€™re doing.โ€

He gets it, folks.

20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. Itโ€™s important, itโ€™s urgentโ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.

DEI doesnโ€™t mean hiring unqualified peopleโ€”it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Trump is canceling flights for Afghan allies who were already cleared, leaving them to face the Taliban's brutal revenge. These brave individuals stood shoulder to shoulder with our Troopsโ€”we owe it to them to stand up and #TakeThemToo.

We donโ€™t abandon those who served!

Coca-Cola was my vice. I would have 6 or more cans a day. My kidsโ€™ friends would joke that it was my โ€œbeerโ€ since I donโ€™t drink alcohol. I gave up Coke over seven years ago and feel so much better. I still crave it, especially when eating certain foods that only Coke should be paired with.
