America Is Great When America Is Good Those who believe in liberty and dignity must never give in to the forces arrayed against the things we hold dearest.

Words of hope from this exceptional public servant. Thank you Nancy Pelosi for your many years of service.

Mary Sheffield (D) will be the first woman and first Black woman mayor of Detroit, the Associated Press projects.

Sheffield, 38, will succeed three-term Mayor Mike Duggan.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Breaking News: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker from Queens, will be the 111th mayor of New York. He will be the first Muslim to ever lead the city, as well as its first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century.

Updating my LEGO White House

ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

Newsom Roasts Trump Suck-Ups With a New Line of MAGA Kneepads The California governor slammed individuals and institutions rolling over for the president.

Love it

George Santos—a shameless fraudster who lies about everything and steals from everyone—walked free Friday night when President Trump commuted his 7-year sentence after serving just 84 days. Sound familiar?

Under a new law, New York State can correct Trump's perversion of justice. trib.al/UlIZdIz

Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse. Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one." Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago. And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

ICE’s ‘Athletically Allergic’ Recruits Push-ups, sit-ups, and a brisk jog pose a threat to Trump’s deportation campaign.

Apparently sub-par candidates for the many new ICE jobs.

Opinion | Pete Buttigieg on Rebuilding America After Trump The former transportation secretary argues Americans need a new sense of belonging.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

"There are big structural things we need to confront as a country, particularly around money and politics, that probably can only happen through constitutional amendment," Pete Buttigieg says on this episode of The Opinions.

If we didn't show up to work for weeks on end, we would be summarily fired. Where is our U.S. House of Representatives and why has Speaker Johnson sent his members home? They need to get back to work, pronto. Stop this government shutdown now.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

And still, the distractions continue...

ICEBlock creator Joshua Aaron @joshua.stealingheather.com will be speaking with Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com tonight discussing Apple's removal of #ICEBlock.

Trump administration rehires hundreds of federal employees laid off by DOGE Hundreds of laid-off federal employees who managed government workspaces are being called back to their jobs as the Trump administration walks back plans to slash its real estate portfolio.

The slash-and-burn approach was plain wrong. This will prove costly and take years to repair.

The Bears Are Back and They’re Fatter Than Ever

For those seeking a good distraction, here you go. You're welcome.

His wife was dying, his federal job crumbling. It tested his faith — in God and Trump. One federal worker was rejected three times from the administration’s early resignation offer. Would he blame the president he voted for?

An incredible piece of reporting.
