For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history.
His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

If we don’t vote out every Republican 70% to 30%, then we are just stupid, self destructive, or insanely weak.
Today, approximately 500,000 individuals will lose their health insurance in NY thanks to the "Big Beautiful Bill."
The next cuts in Federal funding go into effect on January 1, 2027.
People will be forced to use the ER as primary care.

The Dept of Interior claims that the algae in the reflecting pool is left over from rarely used pipes
No.
Painting the pool dark blue means that it absorbs heat much faster than if it were a light color.
Warmer = faster algae growth
That's why you don't see black swimming pools

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.
