Curious. 💛🐈‍⬛ Outrage alone isn't a sufficient political strategy. Figure out what matters to create… And then begin. #cocktailsky Fave cocktail? Best bar? Preferred champagne? 🍾🥂 Tell me everything.

If we don't have a #cocktailsky yet I think it's time. A space where we share stories of how we first "met" a cocktail, recipes, name the best bars and bartenders, and talk about all things cocktails...and mocktails for our zeroproof preferring friends. Who's with me? Starting the hashtag🍸🍹🍷🍾🥂🥃

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

8 DAY old company created by friend, colleague, a campaign supporter, is awarded $143M contract by Noem. 8 DAYS OLD.

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.

Iran is not our enemy. The Epstein files and those seeking to cover up its contents are the actual danger to our country. Bring back the billions that are being sent away from funding the infrastructure and maintenance of our country's most necessary services.

There's really much better things we can do with $1 billion a day then send it out of the country and far away to harm people who are just trying to defend themselves from a bully that keeps attacking and taking and taking and taking. Leave the billons here -- our tax dollars for our well-being.

@governorwalz.mn.gov thanks for talking back to her condescending obsession. Sorry for the inanity you deal with. Grateful for you, sir. You certainly define humanity demonstrating grace under pressure.

Serious question: How do the conservatives who do this little routine define what a woman is? Is it just "You know, them that got those ladyparts"? Do they have their own definition?

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

Once you start torpedoing ships in international waters, that are not involved in conflict, you cease to have a limited theater of war. You have taken a war global. Every single US asset and citizen, worldwide, just became a target. Catastrophically reckless. (🎥 Department of War)

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Don't lecture him. Don't do it. You won't have a leg to stand on. And we don't have a country to rely on now because of it…

And because he refused to surrender, because he chose to love a country that was still learning to love him back, his son didn't just get a seat on the bus. His son got a seat in the United States Senate. THAT is why we love this country, not for what it was, but for what it proves it can become. 🫂

Kristi Noem must go now. It's long past time she steps down, and it doesn't excuse her from justice or accountability. She believes she’s above the law while taking away fathers from children with cancer and mothers being shot in the face by her agents. We demand answers.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime? NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Schiff calling it out.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens? NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

Is he right? Please, let him be wrong this time...for the love of humanity, please. #war #dotherightthing #voteNAY #congress

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

All you proud pro-war Republicans that never served a day in the armed forces: Send your own kid to go fight Trump's war you stupid bastards. Those of us that have served in combat operations know the real cost of war. We live with it forever.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I'm not sure how to take this . . . Everyone is ignoring the fact that the United States is supposedly being "led" by a stark, raving insane fool. You cannot attribute anything normal to trump - he has no idea what he is doing - listen to him!

Hillarious that Trump didn't talk to congress about this strike on Iran. Since when does Trump ask permission to do anything, so stop asking. He's going to do what he wants & when. Get with the program, he doesn't care what anyone thinks. It's his way or no way, this is what you elected.

BREAKING: A 4th U.S. service member has been killed in the military operation with Iran. I want you all to remember that we had a way to stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. It was a nuclear agreement that the international community all agreed was working.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more. It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
