To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

Do You Remember America Before Trump? NEW VIDEO! WATCH! TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK. Let's get this to 1 million views fast. Please retweet and quote tweet.

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family. That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know. I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

It’s not an antisemitic conspiracy theory when a foreign lobby openly brags that they bought two congressional seats with candidates who will be loyal to Israel.

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Retweet if you think more people need to know that Trump's Department of Justice is in talks to settle Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. We don't get the sense that many people even know this lawsuit is a thing...and they really should.

This FAKE AI campaign ad LYING about Thomas Massie is a violation of The TAKE IT DOWN Act that First Lady Melania Trump championed, we voted for and President Trump signed into law nearly a year ago!!! Thomas Massie NEVER dined, held hands with, or intimately engaged with AOC and Ilhan Omar. The law makes it illegal to knowingly publish or threaten to publish intimate images of minors or non-consenting adults, including AI-generated imagery. It mandates that websites and social media platforms remove this content within 48 hours of being notified by a victim. Thomas Massie should sue the 3 Israel FIRST billionaires funding woke Eddies campaign and everyone involved in making this fake video and everyone who puts it out. Thomas Massie has voted with Trump 91% of the time EXCEPT when he’s pushing war, protecting Epstein pedophiles, violating your freedoms with warrantless spying FISA 702, or overspending your money into further ruinous debt!!! The only record Ed Gallrein has is being too timid, too weak, and too afraid, to debate Thomas Massie and refused to show up at campaign debates in the district he’s trying to get elected in!!! TAKE IT DOWN.

MAGA should never be told that a convicted pedophile and his circle of elite friends raping girls when they are 14 or 16 years old is a Democrat hoax. And I still can’t believe I had to fight President Trump to release the Epstein files, and to this day no one has been arrested or held accountable. This was what killed MAGA. I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have Trump Disappointment Syndrome.

As Trump turns the Justice Department into an instrument of political retribution, more than a quarter of its lawyers have been fired or quit. Some 3,402 lawyers out of a total of 12,955 left the department since the beginning of last year. @kayewiggins ft.com/content/a1316aae-83d9…

Hey @FLOTUS, @GOP and @WhiteHouse! Still clutching those pearls? Could be so easy if @POTUS just stopped with racist and violent posts. Don’t you think? #worstPresidentEver

It’s time for Hegseth to go!

If Melania Trump actually wants to cool the political temperature down, she should start with her husband.

The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank. It just published a 30-year study showing immigrants paid 14.5 trillion dollars more in taxes than they received in government benefits. Every single year. For thirty years. Without exception. The country was lied to. Here is what the study found.🧵

The Supreme Court has enabled the chaotic and antidemocratic gerrymandering fights unfolding in multiple states. Congress must act to ban partisan gerrymandering and establish national standards. bit.ly/4eGk6MC

Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during his two terms. We don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Farm bankruptcies have spiked 46% under Trump due to his failing trade policies and illegal war. Trump’s economy spares no one, not even his supporters. farmaid.org/blog/tracking-th…

MAGA authoritarianism is pretending the president is “joking” when he makes death threats, but comedians are somehow “shaping public policy” when they make jokes.

Melania Trump says Jimmy Kimmel should be canceled. Last week her husband commented on Robert Mueller’s death: “Good. I”m glad he’s dead.” Said Pretty much the same about my old friend Rob Reiner. People who live in glass houses should’t throw shit.

Threats of violence against the everyday Americans who run our elections have increased since 2020, and the Brennan Center’s survey of election officials shows we need to do more to support these unsung heroes. Listen to the latest installment of The Briefing with Michael Waldman: bit.ly/4cQfZeD
