The picture below captures what I remember about the Bicentennial in DC. The Reflecting Pool was for everyone. It was OUR Capitol city. I lived less than 20 miles away and visited DC frequently growing up. 1/6
The Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool in 1976. The scene is crowded with diverse celebrants including a man with a Bicentennial flag and people wading in the water. No fences, no troops, just happy people.

Crazy. Strait of Hormuz open without tolls? ❌ Limits on Iran’s missile program? ❌ Limits on Iran’s support to proxies? ❌ Securing the enriched uranium? ❌ National embarrassment? ✅

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

Thousands of Americans marched in Selma, Alabama yesterday to demand the restoration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 due to fascist KKK republicans turning back the clock 60 years. It angers me that we are still fighting for what MLK and John Lewis fought for decades ago.

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - the separate bathrooms were for blacks. As we saw in Virginia today, the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for turning Jesus Christ in to the Roman authorities. But he made nearly 10 times that amount by placing a Polymarket bet accurately predicting the day of Christ’s death.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records
Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

In 1989, Jesse Jackson visited my daughter’s elementary school. She told me, “Mommy, that man didn’t use his inside voice.” I will always remember Jesse Jackson as a man who did not use his inside voice as he championed justice and made sure children knew they were somebody.

Most Americans already reject Trump’s ICE brutality but wait till they see this… “Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in Trump's first year had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal DHS document” www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...
cbsnews.com
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

The draconian cuts at the Washington Post could be called committing suicide by a once-great journalism institution that deserved trust and respect. But I think it should be seen as the owner of the Washington Post committing murder in service to Donald J. Trump.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.
