While I continue to use this platform as a voice for progressive issues in our society, today I’d like to share a personal milestone. My version of "Send In the Clowns" by Stephen Sondheim is now available on all streaming services. If you'd like to support me, please give it a listen. 🎶
New Hampshire needs better Democratic candidates, ones with actual spines who will stand up to Trump's regime. The Constantly-Caving Sisters, Hassan and Shaheen, backed many of Trump's minions, voted for the last CR, and are ready to back the GOP in abandoning subsidies. Absolutely disgusting.

10 Democrats are ready to cave to Trump's demands to end the shutdown. I assume those are the same ones who voted for the last CR and backed many of Trump's nominees. Shaheen and Fetterman backed 11 of Trump's yes-men. Hassan backed 10. If you call Chuck Schumer, call them as well. Apply pressure.

Americans can never forget that Trump and his GOP cronies put all their energy into withholding SNAP and starving Americans. They have stopped at nothing to make their constituents go hungry during a shutdown they refuse to end. The GOP doesn't deserve any seats in our government. Vote them out.

Mamdani's all-female transition team looks incredible. They're competent, qualified professionals, the shining stars of their areas of expertise. This is how DEI works. When opportunities are fair and free of bias toward white men, the truly talented can rise. Great start.

Tonight's election results show that the Trump regime's treasonous, discriminatory policies are deeply unpopular. People are waking up. Today is a beacon of hope. Congrats to every Democratic nominee, official, and judge who won tonight.

Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral election! Congratulations New Yorkers, this is a huge win for working-class citizens and those fighting the corruption of billionaires and the GOP pundits. Though he faces a tough road ahead, glad to see all he'll accomplish going forward.

Congrats to Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia! Voters in these states understood the assignment. We need people like them who will fight for democracy. Keep voting the GOP cult out of every level of government.

Tomorrow, November 4, get out and vote for the Democratic nominees at every level of government in your state. No more staying home just because your nominee is too moderate or too left. We can't afford to let more of Trump's GOP minions into office at any level. Protect democracy.

Food banks can purchase food wholesale at much lower rates than a consumer would pay. Even a few dollars can go a long way to help people who can't access SNAP benefits. If you can, donate to your local food bank. Nobody deserves to be hungry, especially during the Thanksgiving season.

Vote yes on Prop 50 in California on November 4. Ignoring the GOP's map fight won't protect fair representation. Show other blue states Californians are fighting back against the GOP's underhanded tactics.

If you're eligible to vote in New Jersey's gubernatorial election on November 4, show your support and vote for Mikie Sherrill. Based on recent polls, this race is extremely close. Vote for someone willing to stop MAGA insanity. Staying home on Election Day is no longer an option.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall this morning with wind speeds over 185 miles per hour. It is hard to even conceptualize how powerful and destructive this storm is. It is currently more powerful than Milton was. If you pray, pray for Jamaica. #Melissa

Climate change makes hurricanes moisture-rich and slower-moving, while warming the ocean and raising sea levels. Hurricane Melissa is the perfect example of this pattern. Climate change threatens society as we know it. We cannot continue to ignore this.

Since the GOP's treasonous bill removes subsidies of the Affordable Care Act, average Americans are expected to pay over a 100% increase in monthly insurance fees next year. This is why Democrats can't bend to MAGA House demands. Our nation's health depends on their holding the line.

Trump's demolishing of the White House East Wing to build his ballroom tells us that he doesn't intend to leave the White House. The GOP minions are going to use anything to defend their cult leader so he can stay in the White House. This won't end well, and is indefensible.

SNAP benefits will run out in some states next month because of the government shutdown. Low-income families will be unable to feed themselves during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Trump and his GOP cronies don't care about Americans being hungry. Those who voted for this should be ashamed.

AI video has improved rapidly in recent months. There is no doubt it will be used to further right-wing propaganda. Digital literacy is going to become even more essential. Being informed is not passive. It's a constant, active process. Stay alert. Stay educated. Don't fall for alt-right propaganda.

Since public health and science have been dismantled by Trump's regime, this is another protest coming up in the DC area to draw awareness to these issues.
Friends, we have another a opportunity to protest the attempts to destroy science and public health by the Trump administration.
We would love to see you on November 5th if you can make it!

Big kudos to those who joined No Kings today. Remember, you are the real patriots, not the fascists pushing a Christian nationalist agenda of hate. Keep defending the United States of America and its democracy.

All blue states need to start working on redrawing district maps to stop the GOP heist of our country. They're already preparing to steal seats in the midterms through gerrymandering. Ignoring the map fight won't work if we want to keep fair representation.

All major media outlets, even Fox News, have refused to sign the Pentagon's media pledge. The pledge aims to bar reporters from publishing anything Trump's regime doesn't like, or to deny them access to the Pentagon. These media outlets now lack access to the Pentagon. Completely unconstitutional.
