Celebrating 250 years as a work in progress. As America marks 250 years, I find myself reflecting more than celebrating.

I love this country—not because our history is flawless, but because our founding ideals continue to call us to something better.

You know what would be amazing if Vance and his team can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of enriched uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; keeps the straits open without charging anyone; and commits to all of this for at least ten years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

A favorite few lines from Dr. Martin Lither King, Jr.:

“At times we need to know that the Lord is a God of justice. When slumbering giants of injustice emerge in the earth, we need to know that there is a God of power who can cut them down like the grass and leave them withering like the green herb. When our most tireless efforts fail to stop the surging sweep of oppression, we need to know that in this universe is a God whose matchless strength is a fit contrast to the sordid weakness of man. But there are also times when we need to know that God possesses love and mercy. When we are staggered by the chilly winds of adversity and battered by the raging storms of disappointment and when through our folly and sin we stray into some destructive far country and are frustrated because of a strange feeling of homesickness, we need to know that there is Someone who loves us, cares for us, understands us, and will give us another chance. When days grow dark and nights grow dreary, we can be thankful that our God combines in his nature a creative synthesis of love and justice which will lead us through life’s dark valleys and into sunlit pathways of hope and fulfillment.” (From “A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart”)

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

@jamonalexander I hope you’re right!

Trump in Detroit:

"The whole country will be like, you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's elected president. ... We're not going to let her do that to this country. We're not gonna let it happen."

Yesterday was a devastating day for our nation. It’s on each of us to stop this dangerous cycle of mutual destruction.

No matter where we land on the political spectrum, here’s what we must do as we head into the upcoming election. 🧵

Housing and childcare go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’re investing in building developments like Zone 32 here in Kalamazoo that provide both. Together, let’s ensure every family has a safe place to call home and every child has a safe place to go while their parents work 🏡
