This lady. Maria Ressa. A 5’2” female
Journalist. Stood up to facism and a dictator in the Phillipines. She was arrested dozens of times fighting for the truth and standing up to oppression in the name of democracy and whats right. The good prevailed there. It can here. But we cant be silent.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

As a parent of a child with autism, this isn’t just politics, it’s personal.

The federal gov’t firing special-needs staff in the Dept. of Education is a direct blow to families like mine. Our kids deserve better.

In Congress, I’ll fight to protect & fully fund special education.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Ten years of straight up Nazi propaganda and hate rallies, that half the country enthusiastically embraced. Poor sad mini Hitler upset that some people don't like the Nazis and the dismantling of democracy.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.
