The public deserves to know the extent of Epstein’s abuse and to hold accountable anybody—regardless of political affiliation—who enabled it. Add your name to the petition to demand the Department of Justice and White House publicly release the files.

I work with an incarcerated-led group at San Quentin. FAITHXLVII has generously agreed to do a massive mural on one of the prison walls for the cost of paint alone. We need $20k by June 30.

Disgusting. Shameful. Gold toilet level trashy. Trump betrays everyone, including our fellow citizens who voted for him.

Mid my morning Trump terrors, on a packed shuttle from the hotel to LAX, all of us one tick away from tears or rudeness, Cindy Lauper “Time After Time” comes on and all the meaty dads in Disneyland families and a few single bros start mumble-singing along and I think: yea we’ll be okay.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone.

But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves.

This is the beauty of solidarity.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

What happened today reeks of insider trading. Trump’s tweet wasn’t random—it was a signal. Someone cashed in, and the public deserves to know who and how much. Follow. The. Money.

“This entire White House is one giant grift.”

Every Democrat should back @schiff.senate.gov and demand an investigation. Do what Republicans do: flood cable news, light up social & drop every detail you’ve got.

Republicans won’t hold hearings? Fine—hold your own. Do it in red districts. Live stream it and we’ll make it go viral.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.
