Let’s keep this theme going. @PeteButtigieg took me on our first date on August 28th. (We went to a South Bend Cubs Game.) So who wants to pitch in $828? 👉 p4a.us/TheGame
Long before Buddy was modeling campaign merch, he was at South Bend's Pet Refuge. We welcomed him into our home and our hearts on December 19, 2018. Who wants to grab $1,219!? 👉 p4a.us/TheGame
A big thanks to Lucinda in Hillsborough, NC!
Truman found his forever home with us after months in the rescue system in April of 2017! Who wants to claim $417? P4A.us/TheGame

Join us for a fundraiser for State Rep. Jenn Hill (@jmhill926) on Friday 10/18 in Marquette! MAGA Republicans are dumping millions into house races in Michigan in an attempt to take back the state house. We won’t let them. secure.actblue.com/donate/hill-la…
DeSantis has chosen to continue endangering the lives of already-vulnerable Floridians. You cannot legislate LGBTQ people out of existence. If you don't want suicide rates to go up, stop it. apnews.com/article/dont-s…
This morning, after dropping the kids off, I came home and stopped to take in the aftermath of a chaotic morning. And it got me thinking.
This is what marriage is to me. 🧵
Bibs I should have tossed in the sink that were leaking milk onto the counter. Little toothbrushes they used to scrub the teeth that have been keeping them up at night. Tiny hairbands from Penelope’s quick updo in which she kept repeating the word “bosh” while I brushed her hair.
The stacked plates, empty and crusty after a hurried but hilarious breakfast full of giggles ad music. The twins bounced along to the Christmas music as they ate their bananas and eggs while I prayed for the coffee maker to go faster.
“…teachers and staff members will be disallowed from wearing rainbow articles of clothing... Elementary-level teachers reported being discouraged from putting pictures of their same-sex spouse on their desk or talking about them to students.” wftv.com/news/local/tea…
“Some of the measures appeared to be far outside what the law actually forbids, as it focuses primarily on mental health monitoring and classroom curriculums.” #DontSayGaywftv.com/news/local/tea…
This was their plan all along. Make the law so vague and confusing that districts respond out of fear and erase LGBTQ people altogether.
There are voters prepared to vote for this president who may only change their mind because of you. You may be the only thing that gets through. Not a Project Lincoln ad. Not a sassy tweet. Not a yard sign. Not a mailer. You.
It’s time to have the talk.
Don’t come at these talks with anger. These are likely people you love. When we point fingers we push people right back into the arms of people like Trump.
Try, “I would like to know what you feel you stand to lose or gain by voting for President Trump? What scares you?”
Find common ground if possible.
“I feel scared, too. I feel I stand to lose these rights. Here’s an example (insert evidence).” Or, “These are the things I care deeply about that I am so scared to lose or see threatened or erased.”
I’ve enjoyed hosting some chats on Instagram these last few weeks to bring us just a little closer together during this isolating and confusing time. If you missed them, you can catch them on YouTube. (Link in bio) Here are some highlights!👇
I enjoyed catching up with @DrBiden to chat life on the trail as a campaign spouse and the importance of unity going into the election this fall. @JoeBiden even stopped by to say hello!
Fellow campaign spouse, @DouglasEmhoff joined me to share a few stories from the trail. Senator @KamalaHarris and @PeteButtigieg joined us to spread some joy as well.
