“Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.”

I don’t agree with Nicki Minaj or how she’s being used by the Trump admin to attempt to sway black women voters, but once again MAGA has reduced a woman to nothing more than “look at her ass” during one of the most consequential elections in American History. We are not okay.

So, in other words… It’s either America, or Russia. Which are you choosing? Which one?! 😎🇺🇸✨

Happy National Pumpkin Day, Illinois. Did you know that our state is the nation’s #1 producer of pumpkins? Last year, we grew 535 million pounds of pumpkins — more than the next four top states combined!

I wish I'd made videos of my then two-year-old daughter singing along with Freddie Mercury to Queen songs as a tiny child. She's 21 now, and still singing for her life. This little girl's progression is adorable and incredible. Belt that Tina Turner, Kiddo!

🍁 Another reason to love my Governor JB and First Lady MK Pritzker. 🍂 They always go all out for Halloween It would be fun to see that in the White House once again.🎃🐈‍⬛👻

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

“We made it, friend.” That’s what Harriet Ida Pickens said to Frances Wills on graduation day in 1944. Together, they became the first Black women commissioned as officers in the U.S. Navy. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Regardless of the charges I'm facing, I will never abandon NJ-10. That means continuing to do oversight of ICE facilities. It is our job, as your representatives, to prevent these facilities from operating in the shadows. It's not a responsibility that I take lightly.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer doesn't make political endorsements, but they're making an exception in the governor's race this year: "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Not just good news, it's the best news. 👏👏🙏💙🔔 #PresidentBiden #JoeBiden

🔥KULINSKI: “Who’s more responsible for your life being hell: trans people, Muslims, immigrants or billionaires? You know... 2 years of an anti-immigrant regime, is your life better? As @jamestalarico says the minority destroying 🇺🇸 are billionaires.” (H/T @marco.foster)

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Just an example of how bad our health system truly is….

1. A group formed last week called “Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin” is attacking David Crowley, the state’s Democratic nominee for governor, with hundreds of thousands in attack mailers. A Popular Information investigation has linked the effort to GOP operatives.

Amazing 👇👏

A large nighttime march is moving through Tbilisi, Georgian flags raised above the crowd. Protesters carry a wide banner in Georgian at the front, with blue-and-yellow flags visible farther back. The protests against Georgia’s Russia-friendly government are growing again.
