Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

RIP poet Galway Kinnell, died this day 2014.

to put a hand on its brow
of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing...”

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

A bit of James Baldwin today:
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now.
Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate.
Look at the double standards.
Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy.
This is America.

Prompted by his meeting with Vladimir Putin, yesterday Trump declared his intention to end mail-in voting in the U.S. But let's not be fooled, this isn't just his latest gambit to ensure Republicans hold the House. It's pure Trumpian authoritarianism, and it should alarm us all.
