Happy Public Schools Week!

As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities.

That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Vote NO on the SAVE Act! The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

NEW - Ottawa Senators fans booed the American national anthem at the beginning of tonight’s hockey game.

I knew it would be horrible…I could not have believed it would be this off the rails, so quickly, all at once. Where are the leaders we need to organize and fight against this insanity???

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The Mortal Sin of Anthony Fauci Photo by Jody Rogac A reader outside of the US messaged me today and asked me to explain the Right’s incessant attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci. From his vantage point some thousands of miles away, he cou...

#AnthonyFauci dared to commit the one mortal sin for which there can never be any forgiveness: he stood in the face of their bloviating, belligerent spray-tanned savior—and spoke truth that could actually save lives.

That's why they despise him.

He was karate-chopping the neck of a transgender ghost. Calm down everyone.

I won’t spend a single moment watching or reading the news today. Protecting my peace.

RIP DAVID LYNCH

We’re deeply saddened by the passing of David Lynch. Bowie himself cited Lynch’s work as an influence and who could forget seeing DB as FBI Special Agent Phillip Jeffries in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

While I like Michigan winters, I don’t like it when there is no snow and zero humidity. I feel like a piece of beef jerky.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

Two weeks ago, we were in Northern California, soaking up all of its beauty. Today, I’m thinking about those experiencing unbelievable devastation in LA. Cooking, cleaning, catching up for the work week kind of Sunday…let’s get this day going ❤️

Working on it friend. Love you back.
