This is what real leadership looks like. And what a President, past or present, should do
Barack Obama walked onto a plane full of veterans and thanked every single one of them: no stage, no teleprompter, no ego trip.
That's a real President. #cdnpoli

I want to be clear that the House passing the government funding bill tonight does not mean the fight for health care is over, far from it.
We get louder, we fight harder—and we make our voices heard at the ballot box to win power and help people.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Charlie Kirk was a horrible bigot who spewed dangerous conspiracy theories and misled many young people. He marched for Trump’s authoritarian agenda. None of this justifies violence or murder. Political violence only escalates and makes us less safe.
Sadly, we dont have a leader but an arsonist.

Just months ago, the Speaker of the MN House was killed. Now, Charlie Kirk. This must end.
Political violence is a uniquely dangerous thing. We make ourselves heard with our voices and votes.
We cannot settle disagreements with violence in this country.

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.
No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

The Nineteenth Amendment
Yesterday, I intended to write about the Nineteenth Amendment prohibiting states from denying women the right to vote because today is the anniversary of the amendment’s certification in 1920.
