“If you're considering participating in civic processes... don't underestimate the moral authority that you carry as a young person saying, ‘This decision you're about to make affects me,’”… The longer you are planning to be here, the more you have at stake, and I think, the more you have to say.”

“my main impulse is not despondency... but actually propulsion... especially for a generation of people coming of age at this moment... to figure out not just how do we stop the damage, but what would we do if there were a clean sheet?” - Pete Buttigieg

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

Propulsion—not despondency.

"We have to engage in this moment with the ruthless survival skills of an LGBTQ kid in Florida or in North Dakota who does not have the luxury of prioritizing purity and perfection over goodwill and good intentions."

@mcbride.house.gov joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Pete's position on trans athletes is the same as Rep. Sarah McBride. Here she is from just a few days ago.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

Praying that the latest developments in the Middle East will lead to the real results we all hope to see: an end to the suffering and destruction, the return of all remaining hostages, and meaningful beginnings toward a lasting peace.

...because making there be fewer controllers will surely solve the problem. And if they aren't going to get back pay, why should they work for free?

"The FAA is now delaying flights into Reagan National Airport (DCA) due to low air traffic controller staffing. Day 8 of the government shutdown and staffing shortages are hitting Congress’ favorite airport."

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Nashville's air traffic approach control will go dark for 5 hours tonight due to the Republicans' government shutdown.

Yikes! ✈️
