Grateful to have had the chance to talk on the Constitution for the Indiana DAR’s #ConstitutionDay event. So touched to have had 6 of my students come to watch and help with the pledge!

Great day of civil dialogue discussions in #fhsapgov, starting with great thoughts from Jeffrey Rosen and Justice Breyer, and now working through norm setting! @constitutionctr.bsky.social #CivicsMatter

First day of committee hearings…they have researched and written legislation focused on topics ranging from limiting food dyes to HRT to voting rights to child poverty. Found myself a bit emotional today just being a fly on the wall, listening to these awesome young people!

Kristi Noem just said that countries will do what we ask, or face “consequences.”
A friend to the world…nope
A bully to the world…yep
So much for that city upon a hill…

Forget today at the country’s risk. Today four years ago happened, it was a riot, and the fact that we have not learned a thing from it continues to baffle me.

Knew it was coming, but the news of President Carter’s passing still hits hard. What a remarkable reminder that traits like kindness, empathy, genuineness, and service to others are absolutely traits of good leadership, a reminder needed now more than ever.

We did the math today- 27 years ago I asked this beauty out on our first date. Ruby Tuesday, “American Werewolf in Paris”. We’ve walked together for longer than we haven’t, and she’s just as out of my league now as she was then. Best of wives and best of women, my ❤️

Seriously love the discussions our #fhsapgov fishbowls generate! Dissecting the causes of low voter turnout and considering the strategies to combat the issue. My favorite phrase- “My research showed…” #CivicsMatter

My youngest loves to hum music while doing homework, and he has the best taste.

Tonight’s song- a little Steve Winwood! #higherlove
