Once at a summer internship, all of us were asked to send in bios, including our “dream job.” I thought it was a ~just for fun~ question, so I said Disney Jungle Cruise River Guide. Every other intern said lawyer. Our answers were posted in the office lobby.

@KZambon @MNFreedomFund Totally hear this — no one should feel pressured to put their health at risk when there are other ways to help. But I think we can agree that white women in particular weren’t showing up long before COVID hit.

This is Lee. He & his wife housed me — a scared, overwhelmed organizer — in rural Iowa for months. Lee passed away a couple days after the Iowa caucus. This picture is from inside our caucus room. I know Lee would be proud of @PeteButtigieg today. And I hope he’s proud of me.

Hard to put into words how impactful this is. When I was a teenager, I thought mental illness was something shameful and wrong with me. Seeing my Senator get help publicly? I wish 15 year old Frances had that role model. Thank you, @JohnFetterman. We’ve got your back.
Senator John Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed last night "to receive treatment for clinical depression," Fetterman's chief of staff says in a new stmt. "While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks."

Pretty scared to live in this world without Pope Francis. He made Catholics like me feel like we could still come home, after feeling like we didn’t fit or belong in the church anymore. Now it’s our turn to lead, and to teach others what real Catholic faith and service look like.

Things I've learned not to do in New Jersey: try to pump my own gas, or root openly for the Phillies. Things I *have* learned to do: build grassroots movements, and elect Democrats. Which is why I'm very excited to be the 2024 New Jersey Coordinated Campaign's Director.
