It taunts us
Making us wonder:

It had to be preserved

I will post my new Resistance HQ bulletin each day at 8PM ET. It is designed for people who don’t really want to watch the news right now or wade through the muck of social media to find nuggets of things that are important. It will tell you what happened that day without the BS.

Happy birthday to me! I've already voted, so I'll be enjoying imaginary hikes (like this one) and painting up a storm. If you haven't yet voted, please do so for Harris. Also remember the down ballot races, for all our sakes.

Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
Plodding to th' ports and costs for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires

Plodding to th' ports and costs for transportation,

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:That we should be saved from our enemies

The consequences of a second Trump presidency with this Supreme Court go far beyond federal abortion restrictions. I understand why some Arab-Americans, Muslims, and their families can't vote for Harris—and I’m not asking them to. But if you're looking for a reason...

I’ve long advocated for more support for beginning and emerging farmers.
I chaired a hearing on it.
I sponsor legislation to reauthorize this grant program.
I have legislation to increase land access, capital access, and market access for underserved farmers.

The LA Times & Washington Post non-endorsements may actually influence more voters than endorsements from other papers. People remind me this week that they dislike billionaires more than politicians. If Rick Scott or a health insurance mogul also ran an editorial page, it might swing the election.

In 2021, marijuana use was most prevalent among 12th graders (22.4%), followed by 11th graders (18.7%), with lower usage rates in the earlier grades. From 2011 to 2021, all grades experienced a notable decline in current marijuana use, especially among ninth graders.

This is my 8 year old's favorite movie.
He convinced his bestie to watch it at their last sleepover.
He is currently signed up for fencing lessons so he can sword fight.
