Thinking of the dedication of Gloria Steinem’s book and the towering impact one act of grace and bravery can have on the world.

I spoke with my dear friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning and he told me he supports universal healthcare, free college, raising the minimum wage and housing for all.

Americans celebrated 250 years of independence from Britain this weekend.

Ken Paxton spent it with the British.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

NEW: In a remarkable interview set to air on CBS Easter morning, the conservative archbishop who leads Catholics serving in the U.S. military says the Trump-Vance White House's war against Iran is impermissible under Catholic teaching.

Asked to respond to Pete Hegseth's claims that God is guiding the military effort, Archbishop Broglio said the war is not “sponsored by the Lord.” https://t.co/VxPuz427Ke

Quite the quote here from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

[Deva Hazarika @devahaz]

$143M no-bid contract for “media and advertising” to brand new mystery firm that happened to then hire her aide’s husband’s firm as a subcontractor, they’re just looting America in plain sight

[Celeste Acevedo @celesteiacevedo]

This happened to me too 😭

[abel @abelwithatable]

flying from VA to TX to vote for @jamestalarico because Texas conveniently didn’t receive my ballot application (I sent it in Feb. 7th)

If your vote wasn’t so important, they wouldn’t try so hard to stop you.

Not even coworker. SUBORDINATE.

[Cabot Montana @AmanitaFugax]

Back in the day, sexually harassing your coworker until she killed herself would have meant you resigned and never rose from shame filled anonymity again.

Now, it’s just Monday.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Yet again, the DOJ got caught in a lie, doing Trump's bidding. They're covering up for him at the expense of the American people — and above all the survivors of Epstein's abuse — who deserve the TRUTH NOW.

No more hiding. Release ALL THE FILES.

Employment lawyer here. What he did is the clearest form of sexual harassment in violation of Title VII that I’ve seen in a long time. @RepTonyGonzales @SpeakerJohnson

This regime spent $75,000 of YOUR taxpayer dollars for Kash Patel to party in Italy, but claims helping you afford health care is a waste of taxpayer funds?

[Bayliss Wagner @baylisswagner]

NEW: Texts from the husband of Regina Santos-Aviles show Rep. @TonyGonzales4TX repeatedly pressed his aide for a "sexy pic" and in-person meetups.

Twice, she told Gonzales he was going “too far.”

Disgusting

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

"In the spring of 2024, Rep. Tony Gonzales was in the midst of a bruising primary campaign, fighting to hang onto his congressional seat. But politics was not on his mind when he began trading text messages with a staff member at 12:15 a.m. on May 9.

'Send me a sexy pic,' he texted Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, then director of his regional district office in Uvalde.

Santos-Aviles replied that she’d had a rough week and 'you don't really want a hot picture of me.'

'Yes I do,' Gonzales texted, adding, 'Hurry.'" https://t.co/eJpGJ7RnHb

What Rep. Joaquin Castro found inside ICE facility in South Texas https://t.co/pUdn1i0Goh

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

For months Governor Abbott secretly deployed the Texas National Guard into ICE detention facilities, even forcing them to work in the detention center that imprisoned Liam Ramos and a two month old baby. Now his administration wants to stop any guard members from talking about it even to members of Congress.

I will be inspecting the South Texas ICE Processing Center on Friday morning and have requested to speak with members of the Texas National Guard. https://t.co/eperFUGL5b

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."
