What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner. Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence. These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.

The American public overwhelmingly opposes Trump and Israel's war on Iran. Among IR scholars, the opposition is even stronger: 86% oppose, of which 70% expressing strong opposition. Only 10 % support the attack on Iran. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/06/i...

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard. First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

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."

Apparently the US has a problem with Iran being run by “religious fanatics”

Keith’s observation: Trump,his Unqualified Administration started a War with Iran, Forgot to Fill up our Strategic Oil Reserves & Weapons stockpiles which are Fast Depleting. Holy Fuck How Stupid & Irresponsible can they Be.They are Republicans so Expect STUPID. Stop 🛑 War, Focus Affordability 😡👊🇺🇸😎

He thinks he's funny. Vote Democratic.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.” Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

This is who our President is...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Where are the Epstein Files arrests? Where are the Epstein Files trials?

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Currently trending on X.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

See a pattern here?

Are we going to be able to protect our servicemembers?

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

So they have no plan. Got it.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Gas could reach a national average above $3 per gallon for the first time this year, as analysts anticipate crude oil prices will jump next week.

Today is a good day to take note of all those telling you how swimmingly this is going to work out so you can stop paying attention to them forever We have illegally and under false pretenses launched a war that in no way benefits us and isn't going to ever truly end A MISTAKE WE HAVE MADE BEFORE

Is this what Trump voters voted for? Killing teen girls @sports camp? As a parent how would you feel about the US & Israel if they killed or injured your daughter? Creating new terrorists! open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

I spent a lot of my career before I came to Congress countering Iranian terror groups. We have incredible professionals at the Department of Homeland Security who work to keep us safe in moments like these, but Trump has cut their jobs and undermined their ability from day one. 1/2

But there is a price to be paid. He’s already been replaced. A US-Israel inspired revolution is not likely to start. Innocent people are dying in the backlash. The Iranian people have already started paying. When it's done, will it be worth it? I hope so ... bc we are going to find out.

Never Forget!…
