I had a great time discussing the 2026 midterm elections with Elex Michaelson and John Thomas. Yes, this is the end of Trumpism. What will we build next, and how can we heal our nation? #BlueWave youtu.be/aSSe0D7DKSs

Great to talk with @Elex_Michaelson on @CNN about the upcoming election.
What is Hasan Piker's impact on the midterms? Who is winning the fight between Trump and Obama on the campaign trail? And can we trust the latest polls? @carolineheldman & @RealWillONeill join the @CNNTheStoryIs panel:

My analysis of the Cornell case with the great Michael Popok on Legal AF. This is a detailed discussion on why colleges and the justice system almost always fail survivors. #cornelluniversity #cornell #DonaldTrump youtube.com/watch?v=6MmClvTh…

DA Van Houten admitted he did not read Jane Doe's police interview before dropping her case. It's go time. As in he needs to go. Please sign this petition urging @KathyHochul to fire Van Houten. c.org/fVrWps6RVn #Cornellrape #FireVanHouten

Had we elected a woman in 2024, "we would not be in a foreign quagmire in Iran, we would not be paying $6.36 in California for gas...and we would actually know what’s in the Epstein files.” huffpost.com/entry/trump-oba…

What do voters in the South think of @GavinNewsom? @CNN's @IsaacDovere traveled with him to South Carolina. He says Newsom drew a largely white, older crowd...that was impressed by what they saw. "It's a good start...but there's clearly a lot of work to do." Read his article here: cnn.com/2026/09/07/politics/…

We weren’t overreacting to Project 2025. We were reading it. Chapter 13 called for shrinking federal food programs, weakening regulatory oversight, and rolling back restrictions across agriculture and food production. Now Americans are watching recall after recall: E. coli. Listeria. Cyclospora. Eggs. Berries. Lettuce. Herbs. Meat. The warnings weren’t hysteria. They were written in black and white. The problem wasn’t that people overreacted. It’s that too many people never bothered to read what was coming.

It’s official. @ConsumerAttysCA no longer represents the interests of survivors of sexual violence. #StandWithSurvivors
This has become a classic example of backroom negotiations need daylight. SB 577 has now incited a flood of cop association opposition. Should make for interesting caucuses today for leaderships. Tough vote to force on their members.
