🧵It's time to honor heroes of Consitution. Taking an oath is a commitment to many values, to rights of differences, to human rights, to balancing justice. I love truth tellers. I love integrity. Love over hate. The Christian would not keep his vote to The Constitution. Democracy gives us freedom.

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

“We are enforcing the nation’s laws. Why is that controversial?” The Fugitive Slave Act. The Three-Fifths Compromise. The Nuremberg Laws. Dred Scott. The Indian Removal Act. The Law for Protection of German Blood. Anti-miscegenation laws. The Defense of Marriage Act. The Reichstag Fire Decree.

Mullin began the press conference by saying "We are enforcing this nation's laws. Why is it controversial? Why would that be controversial?" As if all of human history doesn't show that laws and their enforcement can be very controversial (e.g., the 1765 Stamp Act and its impact on U.S. history).

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

Every state’s Secretary of State needs to tell us whether they intend to follow Trump’s new vote by mail rules for the midterms.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

She does not, however, block states from *voluntarily* participating in the new rule. Why? Because states get to decide how they run their elections. END/

Not to be THAT scold but, Laura Loomer has been wrong about people's immigration status before and there's abundant evidence people close to Trump have used their access to use ICE to torment people they hate.

DHS has claimed that children detained with their parents can be released to a safe family member, but Liam’s mother lives in Austin and is ready to take him, and ICE is still refusing to release him to her. It really feels like they are trying to make an example out of a little kid.

Republican members of Congress—all of whom have sworn loyalty to a man, Trump, who scientific journals confirm caused at least 400,000 needless deaths during the pandemic—are today calling for prison for a man who *saved* millions of lives in the same period. A *disgusting* day.

SO FRUSTRATING to deal with BCBS. Since February I’ve been trying to get an insurance issue fixed. So they offer a fix for ONLY 2 days. So now I have to go to my congressman. Now they’re trying to say my shoulder surgery was due to an accident when it wasn’t. How many forms, phone calls required?

I chose to live. And once you make that choice, a strange kind of mutation happens. The fear just evaporates. What could anyone possibly say or do to me that hasn't already been done? When you survive your own absolute destruction, you lose the ability to be afraid.

I have no political aspirations. I'm not running for anything. But I do have a triple PhD in addiction and recovery. If you are stuck in the wreckage of your own shame, thinking you're too far gone to be loved: you are not alone. Reclaiming your narrative starts the moment you refuse to hide.

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Trump’s net worth has almost tripled since he’s been back in office. He rugged his crypto followers for over $500 million. Over $1.4 billion in total crypto profit. Financial corruption hawks on the right, where you at?

The systems that identify outbreaks overseas are often what prevent them from becoming emergencies at home. As Ebola spreads in central Africa, reducing the role of the very agency built to track and contain infectious diseases is a decision that could have consequences far beyond any one country.

Almost seven years clean and sober. Not a victory lap. Just a fact. To anyone in the fight right now: it gets quieter. Not easier. Quieter. In the quiet, you find out who you actually are. That’s the part they can’t take from you.
