My incredible friend @drannieandrews.com is running for Senate in SC against Lindsey Graham. She’s a mom, a pediatrician, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and is brilliant, kind, and thoughtful. Oh, and Nancy Mace despises her. What more could you ask for?

We can't accept the future Trump is giving us where getting sick means going broke. Grateful to @pelosi.house.gov for partnering with me on this piece & for her decades-long leadership fighting to make health care more affordable for families. Read: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Pelosi, Rowe-Finkbeiner: We can fix health care, but Trump chooses Iran
Republicans triggered this health care crisis by slashing $1 trillion from Medicaid and failing to extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.

This is exceptionally shortsighted. Democrats cannot afford to run behind the GOP in AI, either in policy or in just using the damn thing. www.axios.com/2026/04/14/r...

GOP campaigns go all-in on AI, Dems not so much
On the horizon: AI agents interacting with voters by phone to persuade them to back GOP candidates.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"
A screenshot of two tweets by Representative Nancy Mace. 

The first, published at 8:02AM today, reads: "To anyone celebrating "Trans Day of Visibility" today, we sincerely hope you get the help you need."

The second, published at 9:06 AM reads: "The media wants to talk about Bryon and Kristi Noem's personal drama and indiscretions. I want to talk about who is getting deported, who got paid, and who's stealing from taxpayers.

Different priorities. Let's focus on what matters."

In Illinois, a bill called the RIFL Act would shift some of the financial burden of gun violence from victims and taxpayers back onto the industry that profits from the product. Think of it as workers’ comp, but for gun injuries and deaths.

Good news: @democrats.org are hiring for an Influencer Manager role. Bad news: pays only $65K (in DC!) and requires just one year of experience. This is not how you win the internet. Or elections. Digital IS the battleground. We need to staff and PAY like it.

There is absolutely no place in Democratic politics for this type of “consultant” who exists purely to pad his own coiffeurs. This is pure grift, through and through. Shame on him, and shame on us for giving him the space and platform to do it. Can’t happen again. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...
