I am a builder because we need one another. I've never seen a bird fly with just a left wing. I've never seen a bird fly with just a right wing. You need both sides to make progress. Why are you a builder? Let me know below.

Polarization doesn’t just live in headlines. It shows up at the dinner table, in group texts, and in the silence between people who love each other but can’t talk anymore. Many of us joined the Builders Movement because we were tired—tired of feeling exasperated, defensive, https://t.co/2Bi88EfcAC

Democrats have a lot of strong contenders for 2028 — including my governor, Gavin Newsom, whom I love, trust, and respect. Having known him for decades, I can tell you: Gavin would make a formidable candidate and a fantastic president. Also, Governors Shapiro, Pritzker, https://t.co/G6N4RqArii

People aren’t taking the “signal-gate” controversy seriously enough— mainly because no Americans got killed. But this mistake was egregious. And someone very well could have gotten hurt. And that “someone” could have been YOU. Or your family. Sharing sensitive national security https://t.co/92OE5kkEI0

On a dead planet, nobody gets to vote. So protecting nature is perhaps the one thing that should not be about politics. That’s why I’m supporting @ninp_org an organization protecting the natural world in a way that is truly nonpartisan. For too long, environmental issues have https://t.co/RpJv7pTwHl

If you run a business in Mexico or Canada… if you are a European grandfather looking over the border at Russian aggression… if you are an African mother whose child needs life saving medicine— the question is this: CAN YOU TRUST AMERICA NOW? It’s a sad day that this question https://t.co/C9NVPEVoKW

There’s a lie that’s being sold to the American people: that because the Democrats lost, Trump can now throw out the rule book and do whatever he wants. Don’t fall for it. Trump still must get Congressional approval (plus a Supreme Court blessing) for most of his agenda— just https://t.co/Kbxe0I4pVe

If a surgeon showed up to your child’s procedure with a chainsaw, you would grab the kid and run out the door. But this week Elon Musk went to conservative conference, waving a chainsaw for America’s government. And many alleged patriots cheered. I did not. Like all https://t.co/ssZYIlYtSG

🌎 This isn't just another book about climate change... It's a love letter to the element that makes life possible. If you're looking for hope - for a way out of climate denial and despair, Carbon is a must-read. Pre-order @PaulHawken's new book here: https://t.co/Q0UnLjh79R https://t.co/iKSHunhwlp

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless mishandling of USAID puts at risk the lives of millions of sick people around the world. The USA is beloved and admired for delivering life-saving medicines to people who need it. It’s an important part of our soft power. Our allies count on https://t.co/r14am6m35G
