@padilla.senate.gov perhaps now is the time to leave Xitter…

Insanity

@schumer.senate.gov You are NOT a leader if you cannot condemn what the Trump admin is doing to Ilan Omar. You are a coward and should not be voted as leader of the Dem Senate!

@carbajal.house.gov I would love to hear your condemnation of this

Nothing with Trump has ever been hidden. From the moment he became a public figure it was obvious he was solely a broken, corrupt, self-seeking criminal Any "analysis" or framing that continues to act like this is anything else stems from a desire to hide it or denial in aid of their favored system

Amazing to me that publications do a story on Musk 'letting go' of his baby-mom, mother of four of his 18 children, without furnishing any sense of Musk's relationship with his eight concubines and his rejection of traditional notions of marriage and family in favor of Lebensborn-style eugenics.

Please join Indivisible Santa Barbara for No Kings: Vote Early on 10/17/26 at Alameda Park. The rally begins at noon and will be followed by a march down Anacapa to De La Guerra Plaza and a Party to the Polls at the ballot drop box near SB City Hall. No thrones, no crowns and NO KINGS!

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

The botched execution of Christa Pike shows again why we must abolish the death penalty. It erodes our nation's soul. My column on Pike, and on watching Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh die and seeing the inherent immorality of the death penalty firsthand: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Men explain rape to me

He isn't doing "vanity projects." He is destroying the nation's capital. He's going to leave Washington DC in ruins. If, of course, he leaves.

Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding. Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵

Here's what I think about when I think back on 9/11. The attack happened on the watch of a Republican president who had been warned, repeatedly & explicitly, that an attack was coming. He dismissed those warnings.

I don't know how effective this is but I just sent feedback to complain to Apple about changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." If anyone else cares to try and see if this works here is the link: www.apple.com/feedback/map...

California has the largest virtual power plant in the world, with 200,000 participants. At the exact moment when the grid is dirtiest and most expensive to run, this program surges in with the cheapest, cleanest power. Newsom's budget would kill it. That's just bad policy.

Roughly 70% of women in heterosexual marriages have changed their last name. That means using their birth certificate as proof of citizenship to vote is not an option. This is not a coincidence — it’s a deliberate effort to suppress Democratic votes. Learn more: https://demdock.com/4b15Hbw

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

This piece misrepresents the dispute by treating Trump DOJ claims about how to treat public RELEASES of document as if they applied to SHARING with other law enforcement. DOJ shares info all the time. Except about Trump-related crimes and ICE murders.

Now we know why we should not listen to those stupid Dem “centrists” led by Suozzi about Dem Socialists being a problem! They (“centrists”) are MAGAs wearing blue! Glad my rep @carbajal.house.gov would never vote for Trump anything!

About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

The UN's top human rights official is demanding independent investigations into deaths inside US immigration detention, and says those responsible for breaking the law must be held to account. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I think you need to stop being feckless. So tired of you and @schumer.senate.gov. I think you need to start understanding your voters

This amount would fund the US National Science Foundation for a decade. 🧪

Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.

Some California schools get three times more funding than others. Here’s why School funding in California steers a lot to wealthy districts and to those with high-needs students. Those in the middle get a lot less.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

How are we doing this? This is f’d up

Gerrymandering affects all Americans, but some of its most significant costs are borne by communities of color. Our expert explains the how and why of it all: bit.ly/3MqI6FI

Seven people died from poisoned Tylenol in 1982, and for more than 4 decades every pill in America has been sold in tamper proof bottles.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

If you’d like to understand the foreign election conspiracy theories Trump is likely to dredge up & rehash, incl Venezuela, I wrote a debunker for just this sort of moment a few months back. Share it w/friends & fam who might be inclined to believe this stuff. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/five...

"Hello daddy. I hope you are OK. Tell everyone from my class hello." here's some of what I saw and learned this week when I visited the Dilley ICE family detention center in Texas.

I don't think AI is going to take all our jobs, but I do think it may create a permanent underclass of people who cannot think, problem-solve, or communicate on their own If I was conspiratorially minded I might even suspect that's the reason people in power are pushing AI so hard

BREAKING: A federal court granted anti-abortion politicians’ request to impose nationwide restrictions on telehealth access to mifepristone. If SCOTUS doesn’t block this ruling, it will upend how people across the country get abortion and miscarriage care even in states where abortion is protected.

I have to say we need the moderators of the CA governor’s debate to teach other moderators how to do this #cagovernordebate

You may know the California governor campaign is in flux. Now's the time to take a fresh look at Xavier Becerra. I can't think of a better review of his exemplary character, qualifications & accomplishments than this, from a former colleague in the Biden-Harris administration. Read & share. 1/x
