Veteran. Volunteer. Vegan. Vagabond. I have seen the ugliness in the world. This will get very bad. Please, be ready.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Today on cooking with CJ, a #Maine delicacy! Delicious "honey baked ham" from Midcoast Vegan, non-dairy cheese, and voilà! Pizza 🍕 ​(Will only accept comments bashing my best friend's poor taste in Hawaiian pizza with olives) 😂

Our flight from Seattle to Sacramento was delayed by a few hours last night, but we were rewarded with an epic sunset on Tahoma (Rainier) as it poked through the low stratus layer. The pastel peach backdrop was made possible by the horrific wildfire smoke from all the PNW fires.

Stratovolcanonpops out of clouds and is bathed in sunset warm peach glow.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Nearly 25,000 Americans across all 50 states are organizing to stop Trump’s plans to sabotage the midterms. We’re building the nationwide infrastructure that will have the capacity to respond to attacks on voting rights in every community.

Tribal schools are the heart of our communities & students deserve the resources they need to thrive. This week, I introduced the Indigenous Students Excel Through Parity Acts, which will help increase student funding, teacher pay, & ensure BIE & Tribal schools receive the resources they deserve.
