The Israeli lobby spent $30 million to beat me, but America won because an entire generation is now aware of their corrosive influence on our government. Every elected Republican in Congress is bought, captured, or intimidated by them to some degree. I am the last who is not.
In a pinch-me moment, I stepped onto the field at Fenway to talk with the Red Sox's two top picks—former UNC standouts Jake Schaffner and Owen Hull.
The three of us may be done with our Carolina careers, but it is true what they say: once a Tar Heel, always a Tar Heel.
Tonight, the country watched an old man ramble about an election he lost.
Democracy IS under threat. But the danger isn’t just from abroad. It’s from within.
Don’t give in to cynicism. Don’t stay silent. And above all, don’t stop voting.
That’s exactly what Trump and MAGA want.
You are the antidote to Trump’s madness.
Accountability is coming — and the American people will deliver it.
Jill and I are shocked by the sudden passing of Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey and I served together in Congress for over a decade, and worked closely on many issues throughout the years. We traveled the world together as members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. We disagreed often, and sometimes loudly.
Lindsey and I did agree on the profound importance of public service. Like me, he loved the Senate as an institution, even with all its flaws and complexities.
To his family, his staff, his constituents in South Carolina, and everyone who loved him: Jill and I are keeping you in our prayers.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
Told that his 35 points set an unofficial NBA Summer League record for most points in a debut, Caleb Wilson said “we lost.”
Before this, the first thing he cited when asked how he played was too many TOs and missed boxouts.
If you are a republican, attacking Democrats for supporting Graham Platner, and you supported Donald Trump, then you are a hypocrite.
Platner is credibly accused of sexual assault.
Trump is credibly accused and an adjudicated sexual abuser.

In education, I often hear people remind teachers that every student is someone's whole world.
And they're right. Teachers understand that better than anyone.
That's why they stay late.
Answer emails after hours.
Spend their own money on supplies.
Lose sleep worrying about students.
Carry the emotional weight of children long after the dismissal bell rings.
But here's my question.
What about the teachers who have children of their own?
Or family who depend on them
A family who loves them and needs them.
People who are their whole world.
Too often, the guilt, pressure, and expectations placed on educators mean those people receive what's left instead of what's best.
If we truly care about students, we should also care about the people who dedicate their lives to them.
Because the goal shouldn't be for teachers to sacrifice their own world to serve everyone else's.
The goal should be to support teachers well enough that they can give their best to both.
