Trying to notice the small joys of everyday life and help my children and grandchildren live their best lives. Very worried about the future of democracy in the USA and worried about the world we are leaving for future generations.

The Senate failed to convict Trump during the 2nd impeachment because he had already left office. The evidence proved he attempted to fraudulently overturn the election and conspired to have a mob interrupt the peaceful transfer of power. He’s in office now and there is more evidence of his guilt.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Have we learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? More war isn’t the answer. If it were, the past 70 years would have produced a better outcome than what we see today. www.wsj.com/opinion/an-u...

The American people don’t want more war. Six servicemembers have already died amidst Trump’s illegal attack on Iran. Trump’s response? Announcing he doesn’t care what Americans want. He would needlessly risk more lives with boots on the ground anyway. nypost.com/2026/03/02/u...

Disregarding these deaths as just “the way it is” is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform and anyone with a loved one in the military. He should be ashamed.

entirely possible, except this instance will have a much longer tail because we’re creating new enemies by the minute and the potential consequences of the whole world fucking hating us continue to grow considerably more terrifying.

Why is Pete Hegseth trying to bully AI companies into giving him maximal control over powerful, potentially autonomous weapons? Does anyone really want the Signalgate King having this sort of power?

We all have to be vigilant and not let partisan actors rewrite history – there's already a clear record on adversaries' efforts, much of it compiled during Trump's first term.

Americans are weighed down by rising costs and disappearing jobs. Trump is failing to address these problems. Instead, he is toying with the idea of attacking Iran, needlessly jeopardizing servicemembers’ safety. I am forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution to stop him.

We’ve been raising the alarm for weeks about Trump’s attacks on our elections — now we’re getting details about how they might be planning to do it. Let’s be clear: there’s no national emergency. This is a plot to interfere with the will of voters.

In the rural Maryland county where an ICE concentration camp is planned, the county commission board voted unanimously to back it. One board member, Derek Harvey, has an interesting resume: He was Trump’s top NSC Middle East adviser in 2017 + later worked as lead investigator for Rep Devin Nunes 🙃

Democrats aren’t asking for anything unreasonable on ICE reforms. We’re just asking that they be held to the same standards as local law enforcement. Donald Trump and Kristi Noem shouldn’t be able to command a secret, masked police force.
