Happy 72nd Dad! Was remembering how much I used to love that look you'd give. That look with a mischievous, loving grin that your friends and loved ones knew so well. Joyous and curious and wondrous. Miss you and love you forever!

President Biden is requiring Made-in-America products when using federal funding to rebuild infrastructure. This Administration is investing in a strong, domestic manufacturing base – while rebuilding our roads and bridges.

Florida has been refusing to offer help to families with disabled children, forcing desperate parents to put their children into nursing homes. They’ve been unnecessarily institutionalizing disabled kids as young as toddlers. DOJ sued the state and won. justice.gov/opa/pr/court-f…

SAG LA Vice President Michelle Hurd explains that “you know those actors when you go ‘oh there’s that guy from that show’, you don’t necessarily know their names… those actors are working class actors who are literally working paycheck to paycheck.”

Quick shoutout to the good people at @UniversalPics for trimming the trees that gave our picket line shade right before a 90+ degree week.

#StarTrekPicard actor Michelle Hurd on the #SAGStrike: "All the TV shows you watch, you see someone like me: 'Who's that? What's her name? I don't know, but I've seen her in a bunch of stuff.' We are the ones as well who aren't able to make our rent." variety.com/h/hollywood-st…

Here’s the thing, when you start out as an actor every single person in the industry tells you that Background work is your bread & butter and that it’s the best way to be on set, and learn, and it’s the first step of the ladder. This is a huge deal. #SAGAFTRA #ActorsStrike

The studio’s A.I. proposal to SAG-AFTRA included scanning a background actor’s likeness for one day’s worth of pay and using their likeness forever in any form without any pay or consent.

One year ago, NASA released an image from the James Webb Space Telescope that reminded us America can do big things. Today, they’ve done it again.

A very good, powerful meeting with Mr. President Biden @POTUS The meeting was at least twice as long as planned, and it was as meaningful as it needed to be. If the protocol had not stopped the meeting, we would have talked even longer. All the topics. Long-term support.…

For whatever reason, I started watched Queen Charlotte on Netflix. Never watched Bridgerton. I think I was curious because I knew George was That King George? And oh boy. Episode 4 was hella messy for me as someone who's disabled.

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

The far left roasted Biden for not getting rail workers sick days in initial negotiations when the national supply chain was on the line. But long after the far left stopped caring because it was no longer trending, Biden was still working, and in the end he won for workers.

❗️BREAKING❗️: @POTUS just signed Chairman @SenatorTester’s Veterans’ COLA Act into law. This bipartisan law will ensure veterans’ benefits are keeping pace with rising costs, and is excellent news for our nation’s disabled veterans and survivors.
