Attending Brown University was a joyful chapter in my life. Sharing the Van Wickle Gates with my daughter Priya was a moment I will always treasureβ€”never imagining that my alma mater would experience a campus shooting. My heart goes out to the students, families, and all affected by this tragedy.

This afternoon’s ceremony for Sen. Faith Winter was deeply touching. Faith led with courage and heart, always fighting for the people she served. Colorado won’t be the same without her, but her legacy will continue to light the way.

On DOJ's second attempt to indict New York AG Letitia James, out-of-state federal prosecutors were brought in to present the case to the grand jury. They did not convince them.

There is nothing β€œclean” about the Continuing Resolution that was passed tonight.

Sure, it reopens the governmentβ€”but it does nothing to address the healthcare crisis that Republicans created.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

The remarks weren’t β€œabout Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss.

It was Jimmy Kimmel tonight, but dare to criticize the president and it could be you tomorrow.

Today is a day when the systemic racism and misogyny of an electorate finding this abject clown show more credible than the smart Black lady - and the smart white lady before her - is really on display.
There is no bar too low for white men in this country, no matter how stupid, venal, or cruel.

It’s the first week of school for manyβ€”a time that should be filled with joy, not grief.

Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen.

My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.
