I don't want to live in a world cruel enough for Texas A&M to lose its star quarterback in the first quarter of the Texas game in a season in which the team is 11-0.
Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
Taylor Swift wrote a song about my son, Ronan, after he died of cancer. She put me on as a co-writer, and donated the proceeds directly to pediatric cancer -no strings, no hidden motives, just pure compassion and integrity.
In stark contrast, the Trump family engaged in significant fundraising efforts for children with cancer through the Eric Trump Foundation. However, reports later revealed that funds were used to pay Trump-owned properties for hosting fundraising events, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and self-dealing. What could have been a mission solely dedicated to supporting children in need became tainted by financial practices that appeared to benefit the Trump Organization, casting a shadow over the charitable intentions initially claimed.
This election is a no-brainer. It’s a choice between compassion and corruption, between someone like Kamala Harris, who has spent her career fighting for justice, and Trump, who has exploited the vulnerable at every turn. Kamala has consistently shown a commitment to supporting communities and ensuring people’s rights are protected, while Trump and his family have even stooped to taking funds meant for children with cancer.
If integrity, empathy, and basic decency matter, then this choice couldn’t be clearer. Supporting Kamala and her values means standing up for the kind of future where compassion isn’t just talk—it’s action. We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to reject self-interest and stand on the right side of history.
