Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Worth remembering…

The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.   Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself. Americans will not forget.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Heartbreaking 💔

As we enter Day 21 of the government shutdown, it’s important to understand that this is part of a concerted, organized, and well-funded effort to dismantle and reshape the federal government. But 7 million marched in the streets this weekend to say: the American people will not stand for it. ✊

😕 We are all paying for this vanity project

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

My feelings, exactly.

We showed up to fight for #NoKings and our democracy today. That’s my mom with @repstansbury.bsky.social taking to the streets of Burque!! ✊

In celebration of #ChildrensHealthMonth, CEHN and the Environmental Defense Fund have teamed up with us to build grassroots advocacy and empower caregivers to tell their elected officials to take action to protect children's health. #momsky @cehnetwork.bsky.social @envdefensefund.bsky.social

It’s time to stop letting the pipeline industry write the rules. The Senate Commerce Committee is marking up the Pipeline Safety Act THIS WEEK. Call your Senators 📞855-980-2396 📞and tell them why pipeline safety matters to you.

Many Palestinians in Gaza felt there was little to celebrate on Monday. “It’s important that the bombing has stopped, but there’s nothing to be happy about,” said Saed Abu Aita, 44. “My two daughters were killed, my home was destroyed and my health has deteriorated.”

On Indigenous Peoples Day I always recommend checking out this website/interactive map to understand the non-colonial history of the land you occupy

I live on the traditional, unceded territory of the Tiwa people. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Once Adelita Grijalva is sworn in, she will be the 218th vote that the House needs to... 👂🏾Release the Epstein files! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

A new study in @nature.com shows the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to renewable energy capacity — despite claiming for years to be leading the energy transition. one law prof said it "could influence a jury" in climate lawsuits www.exxonknews.org/p/study-oil-...

This is master class gaslighting and totally illegal, not that we care about those things anymore….

“At least you know exactly who your friends are. They're the ones with matching scars.” Feels very right for this moment. We see you, Taylor Swift. #TheLifeofaCongresswoman

Republicans have caused a shutdown because they don’t care if American families can afford healthcare. Pass it on…

The suggestion that chemical agents like tear gas or pepper spray could be used indiscriminately against peaceful demonstrators, or even first responders, is unacceptable and not normal.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Trump trying to lab non profits and activists fighting for issues ranging from climate to protecting democracy as “antifa terrorists.” Sigh.

🚨Here is what seems to be next: TikTok’s U.S. operations are reportedly on the cusp of being sold to a group that includes Trump allies, led by yet another tech baron, Larry Ellison. Gift link 👇 www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"When world historians tell the story of 2025, it will be about the passing of technological, and hence economic, and hence political leadership from the U.S. to China, in the span of eight months. The tape of this address will be the easiest way to explain" why. @billmckibben.bsky.social

It was wonderful to be in the room today for the announcement of Methane SAT data. Methane protections lead to cleaner air! Who knew? 😉 Thankful for the leadership of @govmlg.bsky.social and my fellow #CleanAir advocates in NM for their work @momscleanairforce.org @cleanairmoms-nm.bsky.social

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

As global heating produces more wildfires, "Americans have increasingly been bombarded by toxic smoke." 41K people in the US now die from this smoke each year, "one of the most costly and important climate impacts.” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Let's be clear: There's only one political party led by those who call for violence And as @davidcorn.bsky.social writes, it's a failure of the commentariat and the Democratic Party that Trump and the Republicans have been able to get away with it.

ICYMI: Trump promised to lower costs on day one. But what we’re really seeing is rising inflation and unemployment rates. www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...

Let’s get the demand for the Epstein files trending again….

Honestly we should just stop talking about Charlie Kirk. Treat his death like Republicans have treated the deaths of THOUSANDS of innocent people, much of them CHILDREN, and…let him fade. See how they like it when we’re like “who?” and “wait, you haven’t moved on from that? Get over it!”

Damn. This dude writes for the Dispatch!

He could not be less interested in finding out who killed him or why — and his message to his apparatus is clear that that is not a priority — when the killing creates such an opportune pretext to stoke attacks on whoever he feels like.

For the people in the back, bigotry is not an opinion…

With multiple shootings today, my heart is going out to the families in Colorado who will likely get swallowed by the news cycle. We have to do better to protect our kids!! abcnews.go.com/amp/US/shoot...

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Great event on Friday!!!

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government. We will follow every thread until there is justice.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
