A powerful moment. President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, the Clintons, and the Bushes, heads bowed together in prayer. Not divided by politics, but united in prayer.

What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another? Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms. #ChangeIsComingNovember3rd

This graph represents real lives. Every downward bar is a person losing their doctor and their medication. Republicans call this a budget, but it is actually a direct attack on the sick and the poor. #TrumpMakesUsSick
No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges. They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

NEW: Humanitarian officials staged a last-minute plea to Trump officials at their fancy hotel to re-start food aid $ for a huge refugee camp in Kenya. The Trumpers blew it off and babies starved. @annamaria.bsky.social & Brett Murphy www.propublica.org/article/keny...
Dachau opened in March 1933 under the legal fiction of “protective custody.” People were detained without charges, trials, or limits. Courts were sidelined under emergency decrees. Families were separated. The Nazi regime insisted this was lawful, temporary, & necessary for state security.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
