Were arguing about legitimacy. And were doing it while watching two completely different movies I spent the last week really listening to the voices on all sides of this conflict. ICE agents. Protesters. Conservatives. Progressives. Undocumented families. Police Officers. Govt officials. Heres the uncomfortable truth: Each side thinks it is the reasonable one. Each side thinks the other side is lying or insane. And each sideat SOME levelactually has a point. Conservatives see law enforcement under attack."

"When were arguing about I.C.E. were not actually arguing about immigration policy. Were arguing about legitimacy. And were doing it while watching two completely different movies I spent the last week really listening to the voices on all sides of this conflict. ICE agents. Protesters. Conservatives. Progressives. Undocumented families. Police Officers. Govt officials. Heres the uncomfortable truth: Each side thinks it is the reasonable one. Each side thinks the other side is lying or insane. And each sideat SOME levelactually has a point. Conservatives see law enforcement under attack."

"Whats unfolding in Iran may be the most consequential and underreported story in the world. Free elections there wont just be a human rights victory. The fall of the Ayatollahs will release tens of millions of people who come from one of the most creative civilizations in history. Iranian culture has shaped art science and innovation for centuries. Suppressing it hurts not just Iranians but humanity as a whole. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2011164357963759906 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2011164357963759906"

"When you actually talk to people on the ground in Minnesota you realize were only seeing a fraction of how bad it really is. Everyday people are being harassed thrown to the ground arrested living in an atmosphere of fear that never makes it onto national screens. Meanwhile conservatives are shown a completely different story with I.C.E. agents shown mainly as heroes and victims of protesters not villains. Two realities one country and a growing divide. This is a dangerous moment for democracy and we have to listen to all the people who are living it."

"Republicans believe the [----] election was stolen. Democrats believe Republicans are rewriting the rules to steal the [----] and [----] elections. That standoff leads somewhere dangerous. Our democracy runs on trustworthy elections. Right now that trust is collapsing. This week on Substack I break down how both parties lost faith in the system and why rampant distrust puts the republic at risk. I walk through how we got here: from the civil rights movement and the Voting Rights Act to Trumps Big Lie of [----] to the present push by the GOP for voter ID laws like the SAVE Act.

"When neither party trusts elections democracy cracks. Republicans want voter ID. Democrats want federal protection for minority voters. BOTH concerns are real Can the federal government pair any ID requirements with massive funding so every citizen gets an ID Can bipartisan leaders restore federal protection of voting rights as they did for generations If we do not fix this now we will not like the public breakdown that comes next.

"Arresting Don Lemon makes him the face of the First Amendment. TWO Black journalists were arrested for covering a protest NOT for protesting. The First Amendment protects the press. To be clear I believe houses of worship should be off limits. Protesting inside churches is wrong. But COVERING those protests as a member of the press is NOT. Frankly his arrest should scare you. If the government tells reporters what protests they can cover who they can quote or when they can show up thats a problem. Thats not a free country. You dont get to arrest accredited journalists because you dont like"

"Many young people - including the voters who elected Mamdani in NYC - are turning to socialism. Contrary to popular belief: the ones I have talked to arent rejecting capitalism out of laziness or entitlement. Theyve done exactly what the system asked of them: college degrees full-time jobs and even side hustles. Yet they still find economic progress -- or even financial stability -- out of reach. Wages lag housing is unattainable debt is burdensome and the promise that hard work leads to security keeps breaking. That isnt apathy; its exhaustion with an economic model that is failing them.

"I.C.E. is hiring people that many legitimate cops dismiss as power trippers. These are unqualified sub par bullies who would never be accepted into a real police academy. They are attracted to domination not the rule of law. When bad selection meets no oversight and unconditional political protection you get a dangerous brew. That is why we're seeing this abuse of power. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016291544341360643 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016291544341360643"

Principles are hard especially when they cost you something. Mine are simple. #1 Democracy for everybody #2 Dignity for everybody #3 Opportunity for everybody Those are my North Stars. Of course I dont always get it right. I mess up or fall short sometimes. And politics is inherently messy with trade offs contradictions and no easy answers.
