Took almost as long to get from Arizona to New York today as it usually does when I fly to London. Kudos to our United crews who were professional, good humored, and apologetic thorough out. Meanwhile, Trump dumps on our air traffic controllers while Duffy plays dumb. Those two own this.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

This.

I am in the air right now and I wouldn’t blame our air traffic controllers if they all walked out after this screed. But they’re too professional to do so. What a bastard that man is.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Happy 250th birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps. To every Marine — and to the families who support them — thank you for your service, honor, and commitment to our country. Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Will my plane to New York go?

My favorite day of the year. Happy Birthday, Marines!

Apparently voting for Angus King didn’t work either.

Another day that our neighbors in AZ CD-7 are going without representation in Washington. Seat Adelita Grijalva! What are you so afraid of, Speaker Johnson?

As this administration plays its shitty politics, many of our neighbors are experiencing great hardship. If you are in a position to do so, please consider donating to your local food bank. I give to our Community Food Bank of Southern AZ and have just upped my monthly donation to help right now.

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party. They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word. Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

This.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not. This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

This…exactly…

Dem Senator Ruben Gallego is a no on the CR: “I have been clear on this from the beginning: I will not turn my back on the 24 million Americans who will see their premiums more than double if we don’t extend these tax credits.”

This “deal” would force 370,000 Arizonans to pay more for the same or worse healthcare coverage. I refuse to make life harder for the people I serve. I’m absolutely a NO.

I just called Senator Schumer’s office and reminded him that one of the reasons Arizona has two Democratic senators and a Dem Governor is because people like me voted, contributed and worked for the party over the past few years. Cave on ACA and I’ll have second thoughts about that support.

So Senate Democrats are going to trust these Republicans’ “promise” they’ll vote on healthcare subsidies in the future after they’ve voted to end the shutdown? Really?

I’m with you on this one. Ana Marie. Primary them if they cave after all the shit we’ve been through. Looking at you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social.

This.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Call your senators. Make them hear you.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

It’s all about who you know now. Yeah, that’s a real recipe for greatness.

Reposting.

Are you fucking kidding- vote to cave NOW???

Fellow Arizonans, Senator Kelly’s DC office telephone number is 202-224-2235. There may not be much we can but please consider calling the office and leaving a message letting him know that he should not fold on the ACA extension, as he apparently seems to be considering.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social Senator, your constituents here in Arizona are watching you. Don’t cave on the ACA extension. You know better than most how a failure to support affordable health care with the ACA will affect our state and its people.

Too much talk about cats tonite (to which I have contributed). Molly tells me pictures are better than words.

My people.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better. Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it. They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Proud to gather this afternoon with a hundred USAID staff, implementers and consultants at the future USAID Memorial Circle (7th St S and S Oakland St) to remember the agency and honor the people who served their country and the world. Thanks to Arlington County Board Member JD Spain for his support

"When Patrick Henry worried that the president might easily become a king, James Madison sought to reassure him by noting that 'the purse is in the hands of the representatives of the people.'" Let's see how many justices agree. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/which-cons...

This. Time to disband ICE.

“In May—just a few months after Elon Musk fed USAID into ‘the wood chipper’—an Oxfam analysis showed that the wealth of the 10 richest U.S. billionaires had increased by $365 billion in the previous 12 months”

Looks like a goddamn brothel.

“Democracy is not a miracle, it’s muscle memory…” @velshi.com’s moving monologue this morning on democracy, memory, and why we always must keep fighting captures the moment. Track it down.

Missing: Juan Ciscomani last seen on 10/1/2025 Call 202-225-2542 Juan is all for ICE brutality: funding them with 1 billion dollars. He’s supporting a 1 trillion dollar tax cut for oligarchs, a 350 m. ballroom, jets, crypto BUT nothing for his voters, + he blocked the release of the Epstein files.

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways: First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices. Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

In the nothing to see here category, it turns out that donors to the construction of Trumps "big beautiful ballroom" have $279 billion in government contracts. And more than 50% are facing, or have recently faced federal enforcement actions. But all this is just normal, right?

Anyone seen my congressman, wandering Juan Ciscomani of Arizona’s 6th Congressional district? Maybe he’s helping out at the Southern Arizona Community Food Bank or helping with child care for federal employees who have to work without pay. Or maybe not. Another week of vacay!

If I could cancel them again, I would.
