If your representative is voting to cut health care while giving tax breaks to billionaires, they should at least be willing to stand in front of you and explain why.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.

Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.

The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

I recently enjoyed a fascinating conversation with theologian Lee Camp about travel as a political act, the role of faith in my life and work, the responsibility that comes with privilege, and how I approach life as a celebrity.

Check it out on Lee's public radio show & podcast, No Small Endeavor:

This is Finn. His human stopped scratching his back, so he had to take matters into his own hands. 13/10 (TT: anna.ve.w)

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Damn. What I hope this teaches the DNC is that EVERY district is attainable. Fight for every one of them.

With Trump's lame-duck status now sealed, it’s time for the GOP Congress to ditch the shutdown circus and stand up to him. The emperor clearly has no clothes —let's end this farce.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.

Day of the week helps, particularly this time of year.

Missouri is on pace to surpass last year's highway death total, with nearly 750 fatalities already this year.

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

The Cahoon's were our neighbors at Lake Lotawana in the 80's. What kind people they were. Glad to hear Leila's passion lives on in other museums.

A Missouri hair museum was the only one of its kind. Its unusual collection is being saved Leila's Hair Museum, the most unusual attraction in Independence, Missouri, closed in September. Thanks to the founder’s granddaughter, the massive collection of wreaths made out of human hair is finding new homes at museums across the country.

This is Katya. She was found as a stray with severe luxating patellas in two legs making it painful to walk. Thanks to your support of our merch @15outof10.org was able to cover her $7,800 lifelong medication and bloodwork to keep her comfortable. She's already feeling better AND she found a home ❤️‍🩹

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

This is Hemlock. He chews in fast forward. 12/10 (TT: tooba.and.the.spots)
