Spent the evening with a whole bunch of people from the community listening to two great guys talk about why policy matters more than party. Highlight of the year was meeting Pete. He so graciously signed both of the books I brought along. Rooting for Jamie in NC-11. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Nothing about this moment is normal. Not the cruelty, not the chaos, not the way we’re expected to just swallow it and move on. We deserve better, and we know it. So take a breath, square your shoulders, and keep resisting.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

As I listened to this warning, I remembered reading In the Garden of Beasts back in early 2020 and telling friends that this was coming for us. Most dismissed my concerns; many still do. I still continue to voice them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

NCDHHS can’t put health care costs on a credit card. The longer the General Assembly refuses to fund our Medicaid program, the more they erode our health care system. They need to do their jobs.

Because we also need some moments of joy.. here's a picture of my daughter's slightly spoiled dog. She just got tucked in, given a good night kiss, and told to go to sleep. 😆

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does. Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.
