    If you are still refusing to get vaccinated for COVID, please just spare us the faux intellectual explanations and political-ideological justifications. Just say you don’t wanna do it and are prepared to suffer the consequences for your job, for travel and access to normal life.

    Had Harriet Tubman compared the 70 slaves she freed to 4 million enslaved , she might have given up. Her hope and leadership were not based on the dire math of reality, but on a calculation of faith . Hope is not empirically demonstrated, it is morally chosen.

    A very moving piece by that should remind all policy makers that when making decisions that affect the lives of others, putting common sense and compassion first will lead you to the right answer and better results for those you serve.

    My daughter, writes, “faces another battle, not with epilepsy or the toll it’s taken, but with policy changes that could deny her and others with intellectual disabilities the life they choose in concert with their families and loved ones.”

    Wonder if any of us still wear a tie to work every day.

    Journalism in all its glamor, during another endless Mario Cuomo-era stakeout in the NYS Capitol. NB: One of these guys later helped elect a POTUS.

    The president’s budget includes a 78% increase in Department of Justice reform-related grants aimed at spurring change at the state and local levels.

    So happy to see Wes Moore jump in the race for Maryland Governor. He is a person of great values and he knows first hand what it takes to overcome adversity and meet big challenges.

    Joe Musgrove does it! The kid from San Diego has thrown the first no-hitter in history! How can you not be romantic about baseball?!

    I don’t think they realize what they’ve just done. Republicans in Georgia have just angered & awakened a sleeping growing giant. That giant which usually sleeps through midterms is now wide awake. They’ve handed progressives the energizing & mobilizing midterm issue they needed!

    Great to have a President again who actually knows what the job is all about and how to do it by leading.

    I will use every power I have and I will not relent until we beat this virus. But I need you. I need every American to do their part. Get vaccinated when it’s your turn, keep washing your hands, stay socially distanced, and keep wearing masks.

    Excellent Op-Ed by Tim Shriver cautioning rebel stock traders that as they take on the powerful, not to malign those with intellectual differences. Strong message from Shriver: always take the high road when taking on those on the high ground.

    Listening to on tape with Georgia officials for a second time, it seems fairly clear that the outgoing President belongs either in prison or in a psychiatric institution.

    Joe Biden got 16 million more votes than Hillary Clinton did in 2016. grew his total vote by 4 million fewer votes than President-elect Biden did compared to his party’s 2016 nominee. So Trump lost popular vote by 2x as much as he did in 2016.

    So proud of my friend — what she imagined into being with ; what she built, and what she’s passing on. Heck of an inspiration, this woman. And, she is the queen of gumbo and pies.

    I am so excited to announce that the incredible will be the next executive director of in January 2021.#💕🧡

    It really is an amazing thing that Trump's entire life has been just acting like an absolute shameless, bratty entitled asshole about everything and everyone just kind letting him do it for fifty years.

    Fact: has been on the ballot only two times in his life. Both times, more Americans have voted against him than for him. Perhaps it’s time he takes the hint.

    after tonight there is no going back for any member of his cabinet or staff. they’re no longer complicit, they’re entirely culpable. there is no sufficient action short of triggering the 25th amendment tonight. we will never ever let you forget
