Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

All it took was Elon Musk to call for the release of the Epstein files for Trump to attack LA and Iran. If Musk keeps it up, Ottawa should evacuate.

Per CNN’s @mkraju.bsky.social: Top Dems on House and Senate Intel Committees were not briefed on Iran attack

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Seems important.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look. If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

BREAKING: Federal Judge Breyer just ruled that Trump must revert control of the National Guard back to Governor Gavin Newsom because Trump’s actions were illegal. A victory for the rule of law! Trump is not king!

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

Telling….

Very courageous. Bill Cassidy betrayed his oath as a physician and put the health of the nation in jeopardy because he was afraid of a primary. That will be his legacy.

Trump‘s confrontation with California is another dangerous moment for America. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Why is the US Govt continuing to interfere in the domestic politics and elections of our allies, and why is the Homeland Security Secretary on a lengthy world tour?

Thank you to Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center in Leesburg and Terra Pixel for giving me a behind-the-scenes look at what you do everyday to keep our skies safe. I'll continue to push for aviation safety in Congress.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

We sued HHS and its administrator RFK Jr. for illegally shuttering the CDC office that turns over records to the public. We're going to keep pursuing public transparency for as long as it takes.

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

BREAKING: Judge Xinis DENIES the Trump administration an additional 30 days to file a response to the complaint in the Abrego Garcia case. "Defendants expended no effort in demonstrating good cause. But these self-described burdens are of their own making." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
