I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted the call to serve as Pastor of Ridgefield Crystal Lake Presbyterian Church in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It is an honor to step into this new role and to join a community that is passionate about worship, mission, and growing together in faith.

Good news: Congress is poised to prevent Trump from ending federal transit support.

"Asked whether he wanted to eliminate the mass transit account, [House Transportation Chair] Graves responded, 'No...it's been there for 40 years, and I want this to be a bipartisan bill...I'm just not interested."

I end up using random photos for my articles. But I want to use your artwork instead.

So if you want to be featured in tomorrow’s three wins, and you have created something having to do with an injection well, ice, or a grocery store, DM me and I might use your art (with full credit of course!)

This is good messaging. Donald Trump MADE his GOP lackeys in Congress pass the Big Ugly Bill "in a partisan way.” It makes the deficit go UP in a way we’ve never seen & will likely lead to austerity measures at some future point. All to benefit billionaires & steal from services the US people use.
Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

I’m glad to see @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social not making me regret my donations to her campaign.

The Senate dems that caved can justify it any way they want, they hurt the Democratic party by backing down. And they will get nothing out of it because the gop is hell bent on destroying democracy.
This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

DearWorld,

We know how fucked our country is . But tonight we saw Dems and progressive ballot measures win, and a Democratic Socialist Muslim elected mayor of (America) NYC. It’s the first good news we’ve had in months. Please celebrate with us. We’ll be back to fight fascism tomorrow.

Love US

Good news- even though the senile old coot is trying to take credit for it….

Dozens of Democratic State AGs sued the Trump administration for ending food aid programs during the shutdown instead of using emergency funds. And they won! In fact, food aid could be flowing as soon as Wednesday.

This is the man the Democrats refused to see as the future of the party. They are so out of touch they need to be more like Mamdani. I love this video I'm so excited for New York I really hope you wins. I know nothing is for certain until the votes are counted but I'm feeling hopeful.
A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

It is ballot curing time!

When ballots are filled out incorrectly as in signature or no ID or date many states won’t accept them, so there’s this handy tool called ballot curing.

In elections that are likely to be close this is the difference between us winning and Rs winning.

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.

The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.

Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.
