How do we reimagine the American flag as a symbol of inclusion, visibility, and unity for all of us? RECLAIM THE FLAG, a short documentary by Alexis Bittar and Bruce Cohen, offers perspectives from nearly 50 LGBTQ + thought leaders. I’m honored to stand with this movement and invite you to join me.

Right after 9/11 — but that was with a president who had a 70% approval rating.
Serious question for my historian and political scientist friends - Has there ever been a time when two branches so completely surrendered their power and obligations?

The Supreme Court and Congress cede powers to Trump and the presidency
The high court has given the president immunity and protected him from nationwide injunctions. Congress is giving ground on spending and tariffs. It adds up to a turbocharged executive.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Few people have embodied the best of journalism—its ability to cut through BS, its capacity to uplift those who’ve been wronged, its burning appetite to tell the stories people need to know—like Bill Moyers.

The Bill Moyers that obituaries missed
The “secular preacher” of TV journalism was also a ferocious critic of corrupt politicians and corporate titans—and the spineless media that enable them.

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households.
Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger.
And under Trump, 36x larger.
The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.
But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

A new drug that gives almost complete protection against the virus was to be administered across Africa this year. Now, much of the funding for that effort is gone.

Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
