My youngest is raising money for his ESports team! If he can get to at least $250 in donations, he won’t have to pay his team fee, which would really help his mama out! www.raise-365.com/ft/gm6q-didc...

Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without authorization from Congress, and Congress has not authorized it.

PBS funding cuts: A blow to children who need it most β€œThe bottom line: We want high-quality public media that's accessible to kids."

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most.

With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for familiesβ€”particularly those in low-resource areasβ€”has never been more important.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

The White House called a lid, meaning that Trump isn’t expected to be seen or heard from for the rest of the evening.

Cool, cool. Not like the American people need to hear from POTUS while we’re tweeting our way into a war, or anything.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
β€’ Plant a tree.
β€’ Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
β€’ Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
β€’ Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
β€’ Bake something β€” bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
β€’ Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
β€’ Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Be highly skeptical of online claims that the individual who attacked Democrats was one himself. A quick look at his online activity, his comments, the accounts he followed, suggests otherwise.

Asset limits trap people in poverty If you want assistance from the government to meet your basic needs, you often have to prove that you have next to nothing in your bank account.

πŸ₯— I wrote last year about how the SNAP asset limit traps people in poverty. Bringing it back (by ending BBCE) is a very bad idea.

This should be one of the biggest corruption scandals in our lifetimes. If Biden or Obama ever did this, they'd be calling for their arrest, and their immediate impeachment and removal. Trump should be impeached and removed.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

I just keep thinking about all of those endless voter interviews where they were "troubled by his personality, but the economy was better under him."

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
