I just cast my ballot for James Talarico. As a second-generation Indian American, I am thoroughly disgusted by the xenophobia, racial resentment, and increasingly brazen attacks on my identity. My family has contributed to the American story through hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the opportunities this nation promises. I am every bit as American as anyone else, and I will not tolerate being treated as a perpetual foreigner in the country I call home. I implore every eligible Texan to get out and vote. This election is about the kind of state and country we are prepared to defend—and the principles we refuse to surrender. @TeamTalaricoHQ @texasdemocrats

I just voted for James Talarico in Texas because “the trans community needs abortion care too.” This is the number one issue facing America today.

My hubby and his mini me (our oldest daughter) in line this morning to submit 36k+ signatures to put him on the ballot for Chicago mayor’s race next February. Such a family effort❤️

BREAKING: President Trump says he's leaving Katie Zacharia's future as White House press secretary up to her, acknowledging that the media has been "tough" on his newest spokesperson. Zacharia is facing intense scrutiny just days into the job, with questions surrounding her legal credentials and a debut White House briefing that lasted just 14 minutes. Now, Trump is putting the decision about her future in her hands.

35 YEARS AGO TODAY, Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed by a vote of 52-48 after the Democrats launched an all-out war to destroy him. They failed spectacularly. Despite the most vicious smears and lies, Justice Thomas never backed down. In a legendary exchange during the hearing, when Justice Thomas was told by Senator Hatch that there were rumors that he was going to withdraw, Justice Thomas said, “I would rather die than withdraw. If they’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me . . . I’d rather die than withdraw from the process, not for the purpose of serving on the Supreme Court but for the purpose of not being driven out of this process... I’ve never run from bullies. I never cry uncle and I’m not going to cry uncle today whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not.” God Bless Justice Thomas for his courage and perseverance in the face of such an outrageous assault. Justice Thomas is now our second longest serving Justice in American history, and more important, he has had more impact on American jurisprudence than any Justice in history. His opinions have led the way in returning the Court’s jurisprudence to the Constitution’s original meaning. Justice Thomas is an American hero and our nation’s greatest justice.
