Don't worry about the kitties! My niece is staying at our house and working from our home. Tabitha comes out of hiding and watches her but stays Cricket hidden downstairs. She comes out at night to eat.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.”

She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

Larry Ellison, the world’s 2nd-richest man, predicts an AI surveillance state where “we’re constantly recording & reporting everything.”

Are we headed toward a future where every call, text, email & search is tracked by billionaires?

That's not democracy. It's authoritarianism.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect.

Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable.

I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.

While I was in our home office, typing up minutes for a board meeting, my husband texted me this photo. The red line is pointing to a suet cake. 😅

It really is important to contest every seat. But people who are truly interested in holding office are reluctant to run for unwinnable ones, lest they get branded as losers.

This is where ordinary schmoes like us come in. Run for an unwinnable office. Force Republicans to answer ?s and spend $

I am speechless. This is truly amazing news in Texas. Great job, everybody. This is step one. 🥹
Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1
U.S. House: 38 of 38
State Senate: 15 of 15
State House: 150 of 150
State Board of Education: 8 of 8
We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It
Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.
