My biggest fan met our Creator & undoubtedly was reunited with the love of his life this weekend. Being Reba and Joe Barkers granddaughter was the honor my my life. Getting to know your grandparents as an adult is one of life’s greatest gifts, losing them is great #grief.

It’s about opportunity. It’s about ensuring that people with disabilities have access to meaningful work and the chance to build fulfilling careers. (Pic from #ADA 20th anniversary the White House.) #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct

It’s not lost on me what a total advantage it is to live w/ MS in 2026. 36 years ago, the #ADA became law. I live with Multiple Sclerosis. You wouldn’t know it by looking at me. I’ve experienced firsthand how a diagnosis can change the way you think about your future.

[Channing Barker @ChanningBarker]

Grateful for professors, leaders, colleagues and friends who have supported me throughout my journey. Laws establish rights, but people create cultures where those rights can truly flourish. The #ADA isn’t just about accessibility ramps or parking spaces. It’s about dignity.

@AdamSchefter I lost my Benny in March and it doesn’t matter how long - it’s never enough time.

On the night of September 11th, Congressional leadership held a press conference on the steps of the Capitol to reassure the nation. After they were done speaking and holding a moment of silence, as everyone is shuffling away, someone started singing. In a few seconds, everyone—Republican and Democrat—joins in together to sing "God Bless America."

When @TheFP asked me to write about a Great American for their 250th series, I thought of that moment. And then I wrote about Irving Berlin, the man who loved America enough that this was the song our leaders reached for to express their hope in one of our darkest hours.

I hope you'll read it 👇

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.

“You are not numbers or case files.

“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

After being transported to St. John’s, docs found a sagittal sinus thrombosis. A few days in the hospital, a month on FMLA, change in MS treatment and blood thinners for life and a whole new meaning to “happy birthday.” I’ll take these fine lines and age spots any day.

[Channing Barker @ChanningBarker]

I hear a lot of fear about aging. On my 37th birthday I’m just grateful to be here to celebrate. 12 years ago on my 25th birthday, I stumbled into @wregional and found out not only was I having an #MS relapse but a series of blood clots in my brain was close to killing me.

@davidfrum May her memory be a blessing.

If ever there were a story that spoke to the cruelty of the ICE sieges, it was
Ofelia Torres's desperate fight to free her dad from detention, even as she was fighting a losing battle with cancer. The heroic Chicago girl died Friday. She was 16.
