In a perpetual state of worry since March'16. Tap dancer, baby shark singer, Torah tutor, loses sleep over my compost heap.

Tonight, Americans once again voted to protect their fundamental freedoms – and democracy won.

In Ohio, voters protected access to reproductive health in their state constitution. Ohioans and voters across the country rejected attempts by MAGA Republican elected officials to impose extreme abortion bans that put the health and lives of women in jeopardy, force women to travel hundreds of miles for care, and threaten to criminalize doctors and nurses for providing the health care that their patients need and that they are trained to provide. This extreme and dangerous agenda is out-of-step with the vast majority of Americans.

My Administration will continue to protect access to reproductive health care and call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law once and for all.

A month ago, at this hour, I had to tell my two daughters - 3.5 years old and 20 months old - that they must remain completely silent. No word, no cry.
It was 7AM, they had just woken up in a dark room with no electricity or food, and five people were shouting outside the window.

@ianbremmer "Germany knows..." Yes they do, which makes this all the more powerful. A calm, sober and much needed approach and analysis.

"We don’t need the world’s sympathy only when the violated bodies of our family and friends are displayed to cheering mobs in Gaza. We need that sympathy when we attack those who have carried out these atrocities."

@Dermstore hey guys! Why did you send me 2 tubes of sunscreen (arrived late August 2023) that expire 09/23? You refunded me $13 for a tube that expires 01/24 but not the $70 I'm out for the 2 expired tubes. I've been patient, but I'm done. Boo

Arkansas just released its June Medicaid renewal data — which means we now have data for three of the six months of its unwinding process. Nearly 220,000 Arkansans have lost coverage since April 1, nearly 150,000 of them for procedural reasons.

1)🚨Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is here 💜🚨

Every Single Album will drop next week as we’ve had time to process and analyze.

BUT let’s do some real time reactions here👇

There will be a few clear narratives from SNTV. The first (fitting since Mean is here) is her voice.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

.@GlennYoungkin is hoping you won't notice that he caved to the Daily Wire and secretly eliminated suicide prevention resources for LGBTQ youth.

You should DEFINITELY not retweet this so others know as well. https://t.co/mJ010XTcru

Gun manufacturers must be held accountable for the thousands who die by gun violence every year.

School officials everywhere take note: THIS is how you defend the safety and dignity of LGBTQIA+ students in your district.

The powerful remarks were delivered by Jackie Goldberg, a LA school board president, in response to anti-LGBTQIA+ protests in her community.

@CBSSunday @turtles_fly2 I've been saying it almost every week- best show on tv. Parents- if you want informed, and compassionate kids, who are able to pay attention beyond a 2 minute tiktok, have them watch CBS SUNDAY MORNING.

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

Shifting ocean temperatures have caused numerous sea turtles to wash up nearly lifeless on New England beaches. @turtles_fly2, a not-for-profit organization, and their volunteer pilots are stepping in to provide these turtles a second chance at survival. https://t.co/qCyljWE9cf

Exactly. The misconception that affirmative action meant unqualified people have been admitted into college solely because of their race was never true and is quite frankly an ignorant interpretation. Thank you @joyannreid for setting the record straight and sharing your truth!

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Worth watching this Buttigieg response to a typical DeSantis distraction ⬇️👍🏽

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

To summarize…the man cited by this CO website designer seeking justification for discrimination from courts….never reached out to her, is a website designer himself and married to a woman….so there is that.. https://t.co/Pj0gnlKSYg

This is Miami! Cuban American artist and writer @carmenpelaez speaking against DeSantis and the extreme Republican agenda: banning books. “There are two people who’ve tried to ban the story of Celia Cruz, that’s Fidel Castro & Ron DeSantis.” Enough is enough!

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

In case you think @Moms4Liberty quoted Hitler by mistake, here’s Ryan Helfenbein @ the Faith & Freedom Coalition Gala: “If you don't control education, you can’t control the future. Stalin knew that. Mao knew it. Hitler knew it. We have to get that back for conservative values.”

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Today, billboards just like these went up across Florida and Texas.

Happy Pride everyone.
