"More than three-quarters of the Ukrainian public believe it’s possible to win the war with continued help from the United States and Europe. Some 56 percent look ahead ten years and see a prosperous country aligned with the West." What about us? lnk.thebulwark.com/4oBX1Mp

Texas really said “double or nothing,” and our RFS alums took that personally. Now we’ve got two of them in the U.S. Senate race, showing exactly why building the bench matters. Tough moments don’t scare this crew. They dig in. They lead. They rise.

We have reports of over 170 U.S. citizens that have been detained by ICE under Donald Trump—often without due process or access to a lawyer.

Today, we are partnering with @blumenthal.senate.gov on a hearing to share their stories.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority is planning to hand Trump even more power — destroying our checks & balances and putting democracy in danger.

America doesn’t have kings. We cannot let this authoritarian administration take over the entire government. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Supreme Court seems likely to give Trump more power over agencies
President Trump wants the Supreme Court to overturn a 90-year-old precedent limiting his ability to remove leaders of independent agencies.

THIS is what we need. Creative politics. Getting people involved in new ways. New ideas. Younger ideas. Not politics as usual. Speaking to you Senior citizens Reps and Senators.
Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.
