Encourage someone. Celebrate someone. Lift someone up. In a world where so many are weighed down by life’s relentless struggles, even the smallest act of encouragement can remind someone that there is still goodness in this world and that they have the power to rise.

I’ve been running hard these past weeks, from D.C. to New Jersey to states across the country. Long days. Too little sleep. Fired up by what’s happening in our nation. And yet, in the middle of all of it, I keep meeting people carrying burdens heavier than mine who still choose kindness. Recently, I went into a hot kitchen after an event to thank the staff preparing the food. One man was sweaty, clearly grinding through a long day. I thanked him and started to walk away when he stopped me and said: “Hey man, you okay? You look like you need a hug.” I was stunned. I came to encourage them, and somehow he saw me. Truth is, I did need that hug. That moment reminded me: kindness is power. Seeing people is power. Taking even 30 seconds to lift someone up can change their whole day. Today, check on someone. Thank someone. Encourage someone. You never know who needs the hug.

As I said when I visited ICE facilities and met with communities across New Jersey this week: I will not vote for another dollar for this out-of-control Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

Everything comes in waves. Nothing lasts forever. Storms rise… and storms recede. So when you feel battered and bruised, remember: this too shall pass. Hold fast. Because tides turn. Winds shift. And those fighters, who refuse to let go, who keep rowing through the rough waters, are the ones who reach open skies, new horizons, and waves not of struggle… but of possibility. I promise. Don't give up. A wave of hope is coming.

The cost of youth sports has gotten out of control. Parents are getting squeezed. Kids are feeling the weight. We cannot allow it to become a luxury good available only to those with means.

This is wrong. I will continue to lead and fight for ICE to have accountability for their actions and abide by the highest professional standards. And when those standards are violated; when laws are broken; when rights are violated there are consequences. Law enforcement is a vital part of a free society but when law enforcement becomes unaccountable or lawless, freedom is lost.

On this, my birthday… I thank God for a year, though with more challenges than victories, that taught me lessons hidden in pain, in loss, in struggle. For showing me that taking a noble stand, even if it costs you, even when you’re criticized, is far better than living safe, silent, and untested. I Thank God for a year that built grit in so many of us and taught us more about the invincible power of not giving up. For the humbling truth that no one person can save the world but we all can serve in it - especially in small acts. Daily kindness. And maybe that’s how the world heals, not all at once, but a million times over. Thank you for reminding me, in a long year, to hold onto wonder, joy and even fun - as defiance, as resistance, as restoration in the long fight. And this year… thank you for a love that changed my life, for a wife who brought with her a universe of joy, and a partner to walk with, day by day, turning the ordinary into something sacred. Another year older. Another year grateful. Another year still learning how to love, to serve, to stand. (Thank you jin_sung_sa for sharing this precious birthday greeting with your followers and me).

There is extraordinary power in kindness. It impacts the recipient; inspires the witness; and transforms the giver into a force for good - someone who doesn’t just hope for a better world, but helps create it.

In a time when cruelty and crassness; meanness and mercilessness; seem to command the spotlight, let’s not forget: Our world is still filled with goodness. With quiet courage. With helpers, healers, and everyday heroes. They may not trend, but they transform lives. We need more of that. And more importantly… we must be more of that.

There is so much power in choosing kindness, choosing joy, choosing to be light in another’s world. We may not be able to change the world today, but we can make a world of change in someone’s day. op: kayla.rafferty via TikTok

Even Trump knows that Congress can hold him accountable, it’s time for House and Senate Republicans to wake up, and rein him in before this turns into another forever war.
