Sadly, Ron Desantis was at a football game this evening, watching Florida St. lose to Stanford. 😢

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

I am launching No Secret Police, a public records database. It currently hosts the Santa Ana Police Department's records but more agencies' records are being processed. Headshot photographs, names, badge numbers, payroll and other basic public data. www.nosecretpolice.net

Also, everything the House is trying to do is bad. Wasting its time makes it harder to accomplish those things, which is good.

I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to resign. We are sick of it. He must go!

Seems like kind of a big oversight that the Biden OMB didn't rescind this "no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities" part.

Please VOTE for Susan Crawford for WI SC on (or before) 4/1. Polls: 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. on 4/1. Voters need to show acceptable photo ID. Early voting: NOW until 3/28. Deadline to request absentee ballot: Thurs, 3/27. Musk $$$: no place in WI -- or USA -- politics.

I mean, when you hire a Fox News host as Secretary of Defense, you can't really be surprised when he has a Fox News-level understanding of opsec.

Legislators who are voting based on death threats rather than what they believe is right need to resign. Let someone with more courage do the job. Anything else is a violation of their oath of office.

The President of the USADF handled the attempted DOGE takeover exactly correctly. They say they're going to call the US Marshals to force their way into the building? Fine, make them do it. Other agency heads should follow Ward Brehm's lead.

#TeslaTakedown in Los Angeles near LAX. Happening now!

Happy to report 25+ protestors at the Tesla dealer in North Hollywood today cheered on by a steady stream of honking cars. One guy had a double-sided NO KINGS sign and said he’d been compelled to come out for the first time today after seeing the Zelensky presser. Say ‘no’ now. #TeslaTakedown

It's not just Memoli. The article names three HHS officials as well: "Dorothy Fink, then the acting secretary; Heather Flick Melanson, chief of staff; and Hannah Anderson, deputy chief of staff of policy" as responsible for the orders. They should all be held in contempt.

I called all my reps and told them not to support any budget deal that would allow Trump to not spend the money. You should too. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Why has no judge said to the DOJ attorneys: by close of business today, you have to file sworn statements by government officials with knowledge as to who is running DOGE, list every person, what their position is, what their status is (advisor, employee, SGE, and so on). By close of business today.

Any member of Congress who is deciding how to vote because they are afraid of violence against them needs to resign. They cannot serve their constituents or fulfill their oath of office if they are paralyzed by fear.

@schiff.senate.gov Please listen to your voicemails and/or hire more staffers who can answer the phone. Your constituents want to contact you and can't because your voicemail is consistently full. But your colleagues seem able to handle the calls that they're getting.

3) Having established that laws are being broken and what is at stake, I would state my own authority as a member of Congress to gain full access to the building. I would then demand, not ask, that LE step aside. If they don’t, at this point, at least one member of Congress needs to risk arrest.

I called @repbradsherman.bsky.social, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, to ask him to go to the Treasury Dept. today and intervene in Musk's takeover.

Why is the Rubin Observatory changing the online bio of its namesake? Stop complying in advance!

#PalisadesFire MORE drones reported over Chautauqua Blvd. in the Palisades, as well as over Will Rogers State Park. Stop it!

LAUSD is evacuating schools near Pacific Palisades due to the #PalisadesFire, but that seems to be proceeding slowly. Some reports on Twitter that the fire was from last week, was thought to be out but fanned up again by the wind this morning.

Canvassing for #Kamala today in a VERY red area, and here's the best response I got: a woman answered the door, I asked for her husband (she wasn't on the canvas list), and told her I was a Dem volunteer: "[Calling him] Honey, it's a Democrat who wants to talk to you, there are 3 of us in town now!"

🔭 Paper announcement! With @alexji.bsky.social, @wcerny.bsky.social, and a host of others, we analyze some of the first spectroscopy of stars in compact (r < 10 pc), ultra-faint Milky Way satellites in arxiv.org/abs/2410.08276. Our two target systems are highlighted here:
