It’s always refreshing hearing from Obama in dark times like these. He offers good insight from his time leaving the White House, and of course, hope. ✨
There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

There’s ZERO accountability for that propagandist airport video. Should there be an investigation, the President gets to ultimately decide what happens as a consequence — unbelievable! www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/u...

A good interview for Harris, something she’s needed as she rehabilitate’s her image for 2028. No tough questions, of course, but interesting how she voices her concerns about Trump, the DOJ, and what Democrats should focused on instead of the infrastructure bill.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.
We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Attorney General Letitia James is one of New York’s fiercest leaders. It’s time all New Yorkers who believe in a free and fair democracy stand in solidarity with her. We’ve got her back! ✊
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

America could experience similar declines in population and workers. The solution is not taking away our personal autonomy or rights. It’s creating a society that empowers choice (through affordability) — and those who choose to have families are protected both by the government and the workplace.
China is experiencing a population decline on a scale and at a speed the world has never seen.
The impact could hamper its economic growth and its ambitions to rival the United States.

We know Cuomo & Clinton have abused their power with women. We also know Cuomo & Clinton made deals in favor of corporate interests over union jobs. Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act & Don’t Ask Don’t Tell while Cuomo has recently avoided courting LGBTQIA+ voters. History never forgets.
Bill Clinton offered a last-minute boost of support for Andrew Cuomo by endorsing him in the New York City mayor’s race on Sunday, the last day of early voting.
Bill Clinton Endorses Andrew Cuomo for NYC Mayor
The former president’s endorsement is the latest example of how establishment Democrats seem to prefer Mr. Cuomo to his prime rival, Zohran Mamdani.

Great insight on how voters are feeling about the NYC Mayoral primary. Interesting to see Undecided voters break for Mamdani over Cuomo, and there are still 11% left. Hoping Mamdani can make in-roads quickly as the candidates eliminated first may hand it to Cuomo.
