Today, we honor the Americans we lost 84 years ago during the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor. As we reflect on the painful losses of that fateful day, we remember those who defended our nation and the courageous individuals who signed up to serve on battlefields across the globe.

Important thread

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

As soon as the 30 day time limit expires, impeach Trump, Bondi, Patel, and probably others. During the impeachment trial, demand the immediate release of all the files, with the redaction of only the victims identities and personal information. Otherwise, "You're fired!"

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Here's the law, if anyone wants to read it. It's pretty short, and provides a list of what has to be released and when (heads up that agencies routinely blow past statutory deadlines), lists exceptions (e.g., no publishing of CSAM) and requires reporting to Congress. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Now that congress has passed the bill to release the Epstein files, I fully expect that the administration will not comply. Therefore, congress should move quickly to impeach Bondi, Patel, and Trump for their violation of the law.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Trump campaigned on getting rid of "the worst of the worst". Instead, he is terrorizing cities, violently attacking people regardless of their citizenship status. And now Ghislaine Maxwell is trying to get Trump to release her. Will he release one of "the worst of the worst"?

The worst criminals and terrorists are working for dimwit Trump. If he really wants to deport "the worst of the worst", he would prescribe the country and take his entire cabinet with him.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Those 8 democratic senators are not "centrists". They are fascists, just like all of the GOP senators.

Indivisible Oregon ❌👑‬@indivisible-oregon.bsky.social

Eight centrist Democratic senators just voted to reopen the government in exchange for a promise of a Senate vote on ACA subsidies. That’s not a deal—it’s surrender. They’ve given up real leverage for a handshake agreement that might never happen./🧵

Local police will not protect citizens from ICE, let alone non-citizens who are in the USA legally.

Police in Chicago arresting people on behalf of ICE. They are there to Protect & Serve their corporate overlords. The same ones who funded Trump and are now benefiting from his corruption and gutting our democracy.

Let me be clear — there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown. But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

This is who is paying for the destruction of the White House East Wing, per @wsj.com Altria Group Inc. Amazon Apple Inc. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. Caterpillar Inc. Coinbase Global Comcast Corp. Hard Rock International Google HP Inc. Lockheed Martin Corp. Meta Platforms Inc. 1/3

ICE is waging war against New York. That is the constitutional definition of treason. Every one of those involved should be arrested and charged with treason.

Armed, masked ICE agents raided NYC’s Chinatown, arresting several street vendors, some of whom have been operating there for 15 years. They brought an armored tank and tactical weapons into the streets. HandsOffNYC.com has been preparing for this though, and is holding a mass call 10/29 at 7pm.

President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom. East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.
