Dark thoughts this morning…how must it feel to be Europe right now with Russian aggression ascending and Trump back in power. There will be no USA to storm the beaches this time…they will stand with the enemy. What has America done?

Talarico: "This election is a battle between the powers that be and the powers that ought to be. The powers that be have chosen their candidate. They have bought and paid for Ken Paxton. They are why I'm in this race. I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one." #VoteBlueTexas

Just have to say this… Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the evil I see happening around me…, and then I think of all of the amazing, intelligent, compassionate committed people I interact with here and I feel energized and inspired to continue this fight for what’s right. Thank you for that.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

I highly recommend reading this article by Michael @mcfaulmike.bsky.social The former U.S. Ambassador to Russia makes a point I fully agree with: "Helping Ukraine as it fights for its independence and against Russian occupation is not just the right thing to do;it’s also the pragmatic thing to do

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 When the former president is fired up like this, sitting out is never an option. He’s serious; he knows what’s at stake; he’s pleading with you to share the sense of urgency. Have you voted? ➡️ www.vote411.org

Obama in Michigan: "After 10 years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence and tomfoolery and nonsense the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times at least, you get to say enough is enough. We're voting for change right here in Michigan."

Check out Trumpy and Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trumpy’s fine with this Muslim “Mohammed”! What’s the difference?

Dear parents of little girls, Please give your girls a sense of possibility, not a prescribed identity, narrowed by gendered expectations. Let them enjoy being princesses if they wish, but make sure they grow up seeing themselves as the people who can discover, invent, lead & change the world!

OBAMA on IRAN WAR: Meanwhile, you've got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops. How much time do you think this Defense Secretary spends looking at himself in the mirror in the morning?
