“Fifty-four years ago, in 1971, my grandmother Katharine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post, risked everything to stand up to a corrupt president. That president sought to destroy her newspaper’s autonomy. Today, faced with another such president, Jeff Bezos, the paper’s new owner, is tearing down the very newspaper she defended.”
My mother’s words from 1995 remain painfully relevant.
As we face yet another Supreme Court ruling that chips away at the Voting Rights Act, her warning reminds us that voting rights are never secure when justice is weakened and representation is treated as optional. We must not be silent, passive, or discouraged. We must stay organized, educated, and engaged.
The fight for voting rights is still before us.

Happy 76th birthday to the incomparable Stevie Wonder.
Your music has been a gift to the world, but so has your heart, your conscience, and your unwavering commitment to justice. You have used your voice not only to inspire, but also to move people toward love, truth, and action.
I celebrate you today with gratitude and admiration.

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.
Let’s get it done, Texas!
I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House.
Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:
🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
On April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated, my father delivered what would be his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.”
He spoke with a clarity that came from conviction, not certainty. He acknowledged the difficulty of the days ahead, yet he was not moved by fear. He was anchored in purpose and in a faith that justice would prevail.
What stands out to me is not only what he said, but how he said it. He was preparing people to stay committed, to stay disciplined, and to continue the work, even without him.
His words are not just history. They are instruction.
Watch the full speech: https://t.co/o3QZvVc4GT

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have a profound responsibility: protecting the rights of the people and delivering on the promise of equal justice under the law.
Judge Chris Taylor is the only candidate running for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court with a proven record of delivering on that promise. I hope Wisconsin voters join me in supporting her candidacy for Wisconsin’s highest court.
Election Day is April 7th — make your plan to vote now. https://t.co/SJIqagi5oh
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.
Three-time Trump voter: I voted for Trump, but I really want to apologize. I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.
Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released.
But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway.
Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.
BREAKING: MSNBC just confirmed it.
The Epstein release included a spreadsheet of allegations involving Trump and other powerful figures.
Then it disappeared.
Not disproven. Not corrected. Removed.
I saved it before they could delete it
Seventeen years ago, Democrats enacted the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act—an essential step toward closing the gender wage gap.
Today, the fight for equal pay goes on. It's past time to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and finally guarantee equal pay for equal work.
In my judgment, the Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is the most important news out there right now & not getting the coverage it merits. Read my most recent piece to get the download on everything you need to know & understand why this is such a significant development. https://t.co/anDm854zDI
Trump is destroying our freedoms.
I blame the hypocrisy and cowardice of Republicans. I’m calling you all out.
The arrest of Don Lemon and other journalists is another assault on our constitutional rights.
We can’t let them get away with this.
This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
