A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

I mean, it's the same reason the Epstein Class has gotten away with what they've done so far.

Epstein survivor tells CBS News how she was trafficked, and assaulted Juliette Bryant says not long after meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he assaulted her, and she realized, "this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped."

β€œAs the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Fireside Chat: Masculinity and Winning Back Young Men
YouTube video by Graham Platner for Senate Fireside Chat: Masculinity and Winning Back Young Men

Graham is spot on with his points.

Society right now is not built to build people up. We pour our time, energy and heart into work and it doesn't even reward us with a decent standard of living.

Today I had a meaningful conversation with NYC Mayor Mamdani about the reality local governments are facing. When federal government targets immigrant communities, it’s cities that feel it first β€” and cities that step up.

We’re building a coalition of mayors ready to lead.

Boston is full of reminders of the instrumental role it played in the founding of the nation. But it also contains reminders of the ways the country has fallen short of those ideals.

Google could be sharing YOUR user data with Target and Walmart.

And what could those companies do with it? Jack up prices based on your search and chat history.

I'm pressing Google to come clean and tell users how their data is being used.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

Within 15 minutes, they raised $58,000 for local food pantry VEAP. Within an hour, $100,000.
