I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵

In 2016 this guy went to a law office with the goal of killing his wife’s lawyer. He hacked a woman to death with a machete and bludgeoned two other people to death (including a man he falsely thought was that lawyer), then set fire to the building to cover his tracks. Anyway, Trump just freed him.

The America First geniuses managed to send hairdressers and soccer players into a gulag and *import* a triple murderer into the US. Nice work. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

@raskin.house.gov: "They'd conscripted 1000 FBI agents to be working around the clock 24 hours going through 100,000 Epstein documents and told them to flag any mentions of Donald Trump... This might be one of the most massive cover-ups in the history of the United States unfolding before our eyes."

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

I’ve been absent on social media for about a month. I’m beginning to feel like I can engage at a more healthy level than a couple months ago. To everyone who followed me here, even with me engaging so little, I thank you. I hope everyone had a great Christmas & are having a great holiday season!

It’s right out of Project 2025 More tax breaks for billionaires Financed by cutting the benefits of those who need them most That’s why the tech bros are flocking to Trump They believe it’s their right to get more and more No matter who suffers It’s wrong It’s perverse And we have to stop it

No matter who is telling it, there should be no inference of approval for the murderers act. Two things are true here: America’s heath care system is shit AND murder is wrong and this guy’s alleged act is vile and entirely unacceptable. Both should be stated clearly and often.

In the telling of Fox News pundits and key media figures, Mangione and the tens of thousands of people who have come forward with their own criticisms of the healthcare insurance industry are all Democrats: “liberal wackos” and “violent revolutionaries” who are committed to “Marxist brutality”.

Or just claim wealth and arrogance, like Trump and get away with it. 🙄

Accused killer Luigi Mangione faces such a mountain of evidence that his best bet might be to seek lesser punishment—and not argue over his guilt, say attorneys uninvolved in the case.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are about to receive pensions -- for being retired members of the Senate. Yet they voted today to hand Trump full control of labor rules -- likely meaning the END of pensions for millions of American workers.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

I hope you’ll take a second to read this: The government is easy to shit on. Even good, stable governments like ours, bc most people don’t understand that government is essential to human survival and there is always some level of incompetence/corruption to exploit.

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

What keeps roughly 800 billionaires awake at night in this country is what exactly is going to happen to them when the entire country realizes the system is rigged in the oligarchs best interests. It's one of the reasons they work so hard to legitimize these culture wars.

I hate to keep harping on the same point, but if you think Trump is the problem and not the system that allows a multi billionaire the pathway to buy unchecked political influence, you’re naive.
