Last week, 500+ people came to our Pop-Up Passport Day at UCF to get help with their passports.
Central Floridians shouldn’t have to travel hours just to access passport services.
That’s why we hosted this event — and why I fought to bring a passport agency to Orlando, coming next year! ✈️
How do white nationalist groups in Canada recruit people to their cause?
A new report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows the ways they’ve using otherwise healthy activities — male bonding, fitness, martial arts, time outdoors — as gateways to radicalization.
Here’s more:
Passport: $165. Birth certificate: $45. Marriage certificate to prove your name changed: extra. Federal help to cover any of it: $0. The SAVE Act makes voting expensive on PURPOSE. Voting should be FREE!!!
PROF. PAPE: "I’ve studied every air campaign since World War 1. I’ve modeled the bombing of Iran for 20 years. Air power alone has NEVER toppled a government… it only brings in more aggressive replacements.”
Ryan: Hegseth has literally become more deranged than the SNL skits at this point. Each time he screws up, he gets more desperate—he screams louder.
He is fucking pathetic. He has the blood of thirteen Americans on his hands, and he needs to be held accountable for that.
Aguilar: "It never occurred to me that an administration would come in & want to use only AI to target and to kill people, and to have no humans in the kill chain making decisions. This is shocking but that's clearly the authority that Pete Hegseth wants. It's scary & is going to necessitate policy"
Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"
Democrats: We want to fund housing, a living wage, education & healthcare for the American people.
Republicans: Shut up losers, We don’t have the money.
Also Republicans: 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
Hochul on Tariffs: I was in the room when he found out he lost. He got the piece of paper, looked down at it, and said, “You know, the Supreme Court just ruled. Looks like they ruled against us.”
He took a couple of questions on other topics, but then he stormed out of the room.
If Republicans are so concerned about national security, they’re welcome to make some compromises on body cams and unmasking ICE agents for starters.
But don’t expect Democrats to give another 50 billion to fund the war in Iran . . . .
UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight.
How the hell did this happen?
Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.
Holy shit! This is a whole ass shit show. This is an American woman living in the UAE. My country is being run by complete imbeciles right now. Not to mention how badly they’re lying to us with little amount of information they are putting out. I’m just ashamed. #TrumpsEpicFailure
🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”
LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime?
NOEM: She did not. She's with her family
LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
NEGUSE: “Where is Safe America Media headquartered?”
NOEM: “I don’t know.” 🤷🏼♀️
@neguse.house.gov grills @KristiNoem on an INSANELY CORRUPT $143 MILLION CONTRACT going to a shady new company tied to her allies with no previous experience… as she blocks investigations.🤔
This is how we treat veterans in America. This veteran came to stand up for fellow soldiers being used by Israel and his arm was broken as he was violently removed.
Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!🎯🎯🎯
Senator John Fetterman’s response to @premthakker.bsky.social when asked about the illegal US strike on an Iranian Naval ship in international waters:
“I want to offer condolences to your boss [Mehdi]. I know he’s all broke up about the Ayatollah.”
RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?
NOEM: No
RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?
NOEM: No
RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right
AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.
KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?
NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage
K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate
NOEM: It's garbage
K: It's about your judgment
Did you see the really important new piece from CBC News, where they cited a government report that warned white nationalist fight clubs pose a risk for extreme violence?
Well, I got my hands on the report.
And I’d love to tell you even more about it:
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
