There’s a lot of corruption happening in Florida while Krasnov distracts the Country.

Priorities.

I agree with this 😏

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

The Trump admin has announced sweeping measures to expand coal production on public lands. It intends to open 13.1 million acres of public land for coal leasing, significantly loosen the royalty rates that mining companies pay, and allocate large sums toward existing coal-fired power plants.

Two mass shootings this weekend. Maybe there shouldn’t be a 22 yo in charge of domestic terrorism.

Mike Johnson violating his oath of office here. Also that commandment about false witness. Un-American and un-Christian.

Mike Fernandez is the pro-democracy ally and advocate we need more of now. Reason for hope and gratitude.

Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern. Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

Based on statements this morning about mass layoffs at federal agencies, Trump seems to love it when Americans are unemployed.

"I believe preventable diseases will return, and I believe we will have our children harmed by things they don't need to be harmed by—polio, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough.” - Dr. Susan Monarez @firedbutfighting.bsky.social

There’s understandably been a lot of focus on the CDC lately, but I don’t anyone to miss the bad tidings from the EPA. -Scientists at the Office of Water have been ordered to stop publishing papers without review by a political appointee. -Office of Research and Development has been eliminated.

Don't forget that Facebook worked with Cambridge Analytica to throw the election to Trump the first time. Zuckerberg was so afraid of a deposition that he got his company to pay the SEC $5 billion so he could avoid the deposition. Musk and Zuck did more than change the algorithms the 2nd time.

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Yes, plus increase House so each member has max number of people they represent, and end gerrymandering.

No erasing history in the digital world.

Hey Disney: remember in 2023 when you sued Ron DeSantis for violating the company's First Amendment rights by using government power to exact political retaliation?

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

Homan and Patel are a 5-alarm democracy on fire situation. 🔥
