Game cancelled. Fans sheltering in the downpour singing Sweet Caroline. Will nothing stop the madness of that song?!

Thinking of those who marched across this bridge 61 years ago today. May their courage continue to inspire us as we still journey toward justice.

Talarico defeats Crockett in Texas Senate Democratic primary He took a big-tent approach to his campaign by appealing to voters from both parties and independents.

James Talarico won his nomination. Now, it gets harder.

β€œA perfect storm is lining up for Texas Democrats,” said one former Texas media operative.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Surprisingly, the performative β€œboth sides” script doesn't sell that well.

Please attend if you can. There's a lot to talk about beyond what I covered in the First Look, and I'd love to hear what's on people's minds about the outcomes and how we analyzed it. Tuesday at 3:30 ET.

And appreciate a share of this post!

Tell Your Senators: Vote NO on Voter Suppression | Indivisible

Ways to get civically engaged instead of watching That Man lie on national television for an hour:

1️⃣ Check in on your neighbors and help them with shoveling
2️⃣ Contact your Senators and ask them to oppose the SAVE Act
3️⃣ Tune into @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com's People’s State of the Union

Rep. Moulton introduced the Defend Elections from Trump Act today, legislation designed to prohibit the use of federal funds to deploy federal law enforcement, intel personnel, or the military to polling locations without congressional authorization.

The overhaul of White Stadium is set to cost $325 million. How does the price compare to other soccer venues? - The Boston Globe In Boston, costs have jumped more than 60 percent from an initial projection of $200 million.

The White Stadium project's total cost now dwarfs that of similar soccer stadium projects around the country by tens of millions of dollars, if not more. @bostonglobe.com

The extent to which Justice Kavanaugh has become the most reliable third vote for the Trump administration says quite a lot about both him and the other three candidates.

As the cost of living rises, every dollar of assistance must go to the families who need it, not in bad actors' pockets.

My office is prosecuting a former nonprofit director in Lowell for embezzling over $280k in rental aid. I will always hold anyone who exploits vulnerable residents accountable.

Newly released documents detail ICE plans for warehouse facility in Merrimack, N.H. - The Boston Globe The acting ICE director said federal officials previously told Governor Ayotte about the economic impacts of controversial facility. Ayotte said the director’s comments were β€œsimply not true.”

Shooting people in the street. Ripping parents from children. Americans stopped, detained and killed.

Now, ICE wants to build a new 400-bed facility in New Hampshire?

Governor Ayotte should be doing everything in her power to block this. Enough is enough.

β€˜Horsefeathers!’: Judge blasts Hegseth’s attempt to demote Sen. Kelly over video to U.S. troops The fiery decision against Hegseth included 15 exclamation points.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops in a video last year that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders, a federal judge ruled Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Tonight, the House passed a bill to rescind one of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

Democrats are fighting to lower your costs with everything we have.

We’ll keep going.

Do you have a passport? Over half of Americans don't.

Do you have a birth certificate and photo ID with the same last name? Nearly 70 million married women don't.

If you answered no to both, you would not be able to vote under the SAVE Act. This is voter suppression, not protection.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse released this ad during the Super Bowl calling for the full release of the files and demanding answers from Pam Bondi.

MA is first in the country in education for a reason; we know diversity makes us stronger. No amount of strong-arming will change that.

Imagine looking at a little boy in a bunny hat and deciding he’s the priority of federal immigration enforcement.

Our leaders have abandoned both humanity and the Constitution, and a five-year old child is paying the price.
