Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
House Republicans just voted to take Medicaid and food from 20 million Americans to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We must win in 2026, take back the House with Speaker Hakeem Jeffries and replace every GOP representative who voted for this abomination! #CutMedicaidLoseYourJob
RFK Jr.’s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

Trump is trying to deport a Columbia Univ. student who has been a permanent resident in the U.S. since she was 7.
Her "crime”?

No, Mr. President. This is a democracy. You can't exile political dissidents. Not in the United States.
.@elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump made a deal to avoid prison. Musk would hand Trump the presidency using @Starlink. Trump would give Musk the authority to shut down agencies investigating him, award himself gov’t contracts, pilfer our data, and steal our Social Security/Medicaid.
We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:
The out of touch billionaire running the incoming Trump Administration announced last night that he enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany.
WTF.
NONE OF THIS IS OK, EVERYONE.
NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.
