"You Wanted a Worshipper, Not a Wife.” First read of the year was a banger. Dominion by Addie Citchens is a tale about the cost of maintaining false narratives, and how women become the custodians of family reputation and community silence in the Black church.

Mamdani went straight to work.
He revoked all executive orders signed by former mayor Eric Adams that were signed after his criminal indictment in September 2024.

Washington families with income in the bottom 20% pay a whopping 13.8% of their total income in taxes.
Those with income in the top 1% pay only 4.1% of their income.
That’s untenable. Let's pass a Millionaires’ Tax in 2026.

Meanwhile when I went to Paris in September, Air France told me 8 weeks in advance that they needed to cancel my flight home and they rebooked me on a flight the next day. They paid for all the meals and extra night at the hotel.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially withdrawing a Biden-era plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by the airlines.

Great to have Rep. Grijalva as the newest member of the Democratic Caucus! The people of AZ-07 have a voice again in the House.
It shouldn’t have taken Speaker Johnson seven shameful weeks to swear her in so he could stall a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

I voted NO. As long as there is still any time left to reverse the MAGA health care hike, I believe we should do everything we can to force Republicans to the negotiating table.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
