The Presidential pardon is supposed to be an instrument of mercy and justice, not a reward for corrupt cronies.

This sums up beautifully how principle and love go hand in hand to move us forward.

Today, I repealed the discriminatory ban on transgender people serving in the military. It’s simple: America is safer when everyone qualified to serve can do so openly and with pride.

Tucker Carlson said Joe and Jill Biden's marriage is "as real as climate change." Because it's been around since the Carter administration, and it's only getting hotter?

I always thought my dirty dishes piled up and accumulating bacteria were the most dangerous thing in a Zoom background... 😳😳😳 #SafeStorage

Daunte Wright should still be alive. This epidemic of injustice that Black Americans face daily must end. His life mattered. #BlackLivesMatter

I cannot fathom passionate concern about Dr. Seuss, but not about Daunte Wright.

Kim Potter, the former police officer charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, was released on bond after less than 6 hours in jail. As a public defender, I’ve represented clients held for longer for sleeping on a park bench. Two. Systems. Of. Justice.

Christmas is a holiday of hope. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus and the joy that he brought to the world—let us remember his message of love and light. On behalf of our family: Merry Christmas!
