I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.

He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.

Tamir should be celebrating his 24th birthday today. The “shoulds” in this nation are devastating and sickening. #TamirRice

We join with #MsRachel and many others in calling for the closing of inhumane family and children detention and the closure of Dilley Immigration Detention Center.

Immediately after the conviction, Karmelo Anthony’s father reached out to me and asked for help assembling a new legal team to fight for his son’s future. From that moment, we have been working nonstop to bring together experienced appellate and civil rights attorneys to review every aspect of this case and pursue relief through the courts.

Today’s filing, formally replacing prior counsel and placing this new team on the record, is the first step in that process.

We remain committed to ensuring that Karmelo receives a full and fair review of his conviction and sentence, consistent with both the evidence and the law.

This is not about headlines; it is about due process, accountability, and the pursuit of justice for a young man whose life now depends on what happens on appeal.

One of the workers featured in an ad attacking AG @AaronDFordNV for Ford’s out-of-state travel tells an interviewer he has no personal knowledge of the travel, that he did the ad for the money and — my favorite — that he voted for Ford in the primary! Take a look:

Today marks 62 years since James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner disappeared near Philadelphia, Mississippi, while doing the dangerous work of Freedom Summer: voter registration, education, and civil rights.

They had gone to see the burned remains of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where members of the Ku Klux Klan had beaten worshipers days earlier. After being arrested and released that night, they were kidnapped and killed by members of the Klan. Their bodies were found weeks later.

Their lives were taken because they believed democracy should include Black people, because they believed voting rights were worth risking their safety for, and because they understood that justice requires courage.

As we honor them, we must also recommit to protecting the right to vote, confronting hate, and continuing the work of freedom with disciplined love and nonviolence.

Do you remember where you were six years ago when you saw the video of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd by kneeling on his neck in broad daylight for 9 minutes and 29 seconds?

George didn’t deserve that brutality from Chauvin or the cruelty of having his life and death mocked in social media and podcast commentary, and by comedians.

We remember George. We continue to work for a world that would never succumb to what Dr. King called “the white backlash” in response to the positive civic, organizational, and corporate efforts after George was murdered. Most of all, we are committed to cultivating a society in which both legislation and loyalty to humanity prevent police brutality.

Our hearts go out to George’s family and friends as they face this day.

Residents of Memphis—with a Black population of 63%; a long, cruel history of struggle for racial justice; and where MLK delivered his last speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” and was assassinated the next day—are now deprived of the opportunity to elect candidates of choice.

We rise by showing up. We lead by being ready. And we build a stronger Nevada by choosing experience over assumptions, every single time. 🙌🏾💪🏾👏🏾

Eight children are gone. This should shake us to our core.

My prayers are with their families, and I am praying for the emotional and physical recovery of the survivors. But we must also respond with urgency. We cannot accept this as normal.

We must do better by our children.

@HistoryDean @NewYorkSun Trash. But leave it to a white man to tell Black folk what they should do.

Black folk don’t need to bow to your approved method of celebrating
