I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

Shout out to @microsoft.com They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

LET’S. DO. THIS. 😎✨

He wasn't shot. He didn't win 7 swing states. He didn't pass a cognitive test. He doesn't know what a tariff is. He is a Russian asset. He is a convicted felon. He is a court-adjudicated sexual abuser. He was a frequent flyer with Jeffrey Epstein. As you were...

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I think the MeToo movement freaked out a ton of men, made them feel called out for how they behave towards women. Instead of examining their behavior and wanting to do better, they doubled down and decided to act like even bigger dicks. Then, acted like they were the victims and bonded over that.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Actually, quite flattering.

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

Impossible for Trump to give this condition away to Putin!

Just going to leave this here. #SignalGate www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

People in leadership positions who never own their mistakes, constantly blame others for their failures and refuse to take responsibility, are no leaders, but power-hungry yet weak cowards.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Something to think about

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (by @kevinnecessary )

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

80% of Germans voted against the far right! That’s the headline people. 80%!

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Let’s be perfectly honest

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

My President Zelenskyy, who is also my Supreme Commander-in-Chief, is doing a great service to our nation now. I am proud to fight together with him against Russian invasion. Strong Ukrainians, together with the real allies, will save liberal democracy. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
