Meant to post this two days ago, but it has been a year (and two days) since JD Vance said after a mass shooting that it's outrageous anyone thinks calls for prayer are a way to deflect responsibility for taking action against gun violence. Maybe action will come next year.

JD Vance tweets: "It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy.

Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action.

We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening."

Two days left to get out the vote for @patrickroath.bsky.social !! We deserve better than a member of Congress who voted against the ACA & doesn’t show up. Patrick is a champion for voting rights, universal health care, etc. Vote on Tuesday!!! Polls open 7am-8pm. Www.wheredoivotema.com

I’ve been pals with @patrickroath.bsky.social since Tufts. But I know he’ll be a great Congressman for MA-08 (map below) because he’s *always* fought for causes we care about: voting rights, taking on ICE, ending Citizens United. , etc. 🗳️ Early voting 8/22-28, election Tues 9/1 patrickroath.com

Looks like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social may win big tonight. I’m not sure we’re ready for the legion of HOT TAKEZ to follow. To get ahead: - Dems are a big tent party! - El Sayed in MI, Mamdani, Sherrill & Spanberger elsewhere is part of that. - We all must work together to defeat Trump & MAGA.

I still believe America can be what we dream it to be. Not because we’re blind to its flaws, but because each generation has pushed us a little closer to its ideals. Here’s to celebrating the country we have & working toward the country we need. Happy #July4th, everyone. 🇺🇸 youtu.be/9ZYH8v42a2w?...

On this most sacred of holidays, when many troops woke up in harm’s way, the President is shit posting childish political attacks. Remember: this is not normal or acceptable. Anyway, here are stories of the 13 servicemembers killed in the Iran war: www.cnn.com/2026/05/25/u...

No disagreement, which is why I’ve worked to combat gun violence throughout my career because there’s no mystery: strong gun laws save lives. That doesn’t change my opinion that no one should ever have to experience gun violence.

To do it with the guy who defunds NPR, attacks women journalists, whose administration replaced real journalists with state propagandists & social media trolls at the Dept of Defense & WH? It’s not a great look to be outraged when the cameras are on & partying in a tux when they’re off.

I’ve written jokes for WHCD (Obama), and attended WHCD weekend & parties (Obama & Biden). In DC it’s not unusual to see journalists & politicians dress up and rub elbows, even if it’s always a little disquieting. But… to do it with the guy who calls the press the “enemy of the people”?

1) I’m glad that everyone is safe after last night’s active shooter episode at the WHCD. 2) My friend @fieldsmeyer.com captures my thoughts. As we heard more reports from DC last night and saw more journalists in black tie attire, indicating they were there, I grew increasingly frustrated.

1) This regime in Iran is evil. 2) Trump ran on a “no wars” pledge. 3) Obama had a JCPOA in place that was stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, Trump killed it. 4) Wars are easy to start and hard to stop. 5) We have no idea why this war is starting. And what we’ve been told is a lie.

As a speechwriter, for the first time I couldn’t bring myself to watch the State of the Union. It was too hateful and distorted and twisted and evil for me to engage. Did see some of the #PeoplesStateoftheUnion, though, which gave me some hope. And I saw a Dem won a special election by 60!

I’m not going to share the vile, racist caricatures Trump posted of the Obamas. I’m not going to speculate whether it’s a distraction from his appearing more in the Epstein Files than Harry Potter in the 7 books, or the worst January jobs report since ‘09. Instead I’ll say: I miss my former bosses.

As someone lucky enough to work for the Obamas, I saw both of them understood that there were vile racist people in the world, but believed the majority of people are good and reject hate. So Republicans have a chance today: condemn this. Stop pretending anything about Trump is decent or acceptable

I try not to criticize Dems because we need to keep our attention on the authoritarians, but this is just not up to this moment. “Common sense reforms” is such poll tested careful language. Americans are being murdered in daylight in public. We don’t need “common sense reforms,” we need justice.

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do. The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

I was an Asst AG. After officer involved shootings you gather evidence & don’t jump to conclusions. Notice how different this is. The officer fled the scene. Noem and Trump and Vance immediately presented a narrative. This is not "law & order." It's terror & tyranny dressed up in an ICE costume.
