We're at war and the Senate is gonna spend this entire week doing a theatrical debate and vote series on a doomed-to-fail bill to suppress the vote. Because Temper Tantrum Trump said so. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Senator Markwayne Mullin is one of the most prolific stock buyers in Congress. His financial dealings have taken on new importance this week as the Senate is set to consider his nomination to lead the Homeland Security Department.

Markwayne Mullin is unfit to lead DHS—his record defends deadly ICE actions, election denial, Jan 6 objections, and volatile outbursts. Demand Senators vote NO on his confirmation for real leadership at DHS. Send your letter now:

Jeffries: "The administration -- without any plan, any objective, any exit strategy -- has gotten us into this reckless war of choice in the Middle East. So the notion they would come up here and ask for additional money is beyond the pale at this moment."

🇬🇧 @mrjamesob.bsky.social on Trump’s war: “keir starmer should do as little as possible. Trump is a dangerous, delinquent idiot who started a war in one of the world’s most historically volatile tinderboxes’ — with no legal rationale, no plan, and no end objective.”

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov Do NOT confirm this clown! #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

Things are not okay.

"Instead of endorsing a bipartisan housing affordability bill, Trump insists Congress pass his anti-voting SAVE America Act. Given the choice between real accomplishments that would benefit consumers and might provide an election platform and outright cheating, Trump chooses cheating every time."

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression—not security. It would purge millions, especially married women with name changes, low-income voters without passports, and more. Tell Your Senators: Vote NO to protect our democracy!

OMG Come on people! DOLLAR is just a baby! New Home or East Coast FOSTER CAN SAVE HIS LIFE PLEASE REPOST THIS BABY

Ms. Wachspress says she doesn't know if this is disqualifying, but I'll say that it absolutely is. Pursuing undergraduates when you are a professor and in a position of power and authority over them is predatory, and indicates someone should never be in a role of trust or power again.

Europeans when asked to unblock the Strait of Hormuz:

Ukraine is holding back Russia and thus fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries. Trump is meanwhile demanding NATO allies leave the continent they are supposed to be defending to join him in a doomed adventure he chose in the Middle East

“Taking Cuba” Imagine the leader of another country talking like this

Are we great yet? #SheShed

🚨 More reporting; no paywall. This is really good news, folks. "The decision Monday halts an order by Kennedy...to end broad recommendations for all children to be vaccinated against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis, and RSV." www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/v...

Please read this amazing #DEIHistory by @jmdc88.bsky.social about bravery that we can all learn from. We need more people to show courage like this in today's environment. This couple risked everything to save people. I hope this story inspires you.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

This is your criminal government, Americans. A rogue bandit state stealing Venezuela's oil, massacring Iranian schoolgirls and now planning to "take" Cuba because Trump says "I can do anything I want with it." Patriotic Americans must end this madness.

What have we become as a country?

Multiple Iranian sources including their Foreign Minster stating that the Trump admin is planting false stories to Axios reporters Barak Ravid and Marc Caputo about peace talks in order to manipulate oil and financial markets.

Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

They. Just. Lie.

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.
