It’s true that we are in a different phase of the pandemic than in 2020.
However, the phase we are in still involves high levels of death & chronic illness, & locks higher risk people out of society.
The big difference is that now our leaders are getting away with ignoring it.

--More state legislative pages are on the way. "TBD" races will be filled in as we approach/pass filing deadlines/primaries. Some races will be swapped for others as candidates drop out, circumstances change, etc.

I was just caught behind an old guy counting out exact change and, instead of being annoyed (I don't want to do my work today no way), I just kind of marveled by how much society must have changed since that guy was a kid.
And then, marveled at how much it's changed since I was.

I'm going to use @Spoutible a little differently than I did Twitter. More follows. More exploring the full feed. More amplifications.
A lack of an aggressive algorithm gives me the ability to find new voices AND old friends.

The number of minors employed in violation of child labor laws increased 37% in the last year.
Remarkably, this year, legislators in 6 states (IA, MN, MO, NE, OH, SD) have proposed 8 bills that make it easier to exploit kids for profit.

I. AM. RUNNING.
You heard it here first! I am officially launching my campaign to unseat Lauren Boebert and restore dignity to #CO03 representation.
We lost by a mere 546 votes in '22 — the closest race in the country — and know we can make that up in '24.

BREAKING: Putin plans to destroy nation of Moldova.
Ukraine intercepted the Russian plans and handed them over to their western neighbor Moldova.
Putin's plan for 2023 is clearly to expand his war of aggression, surrounding Ukraine on another front.
Moldova must be defended.

I have only slept 12 hours this entire week, and now it's time to finally get some rest. But before I go, I want to thank everyone for being so patient and giving us a chance to get this right. I promise this is just the beginning, and more exciting things are coming!

Can't wait until load issues here are resolved. I like everything I'm seeing so far, on here, but it's pretty tough to toss out thoughts and read/like other people's stuff.

I'm honored to be appointed to the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the US and China.
Tensions between the two superpowers are at historic highs. Managing those tensions is the central economic, diplomatic and military challenge of our time.
