Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

In the last 24 hours she has put out 18 different videos of herself. In most of them she’s in her pajamas in public places, except for one when she’s in body armor. I think it was 4 different outfits total.

Some companies should be given a real hard time right now. This is one of them.

More good advice from @jesscraven101.bsky.social here. The whole rep office uses the same call tracking system, and junior staff or interns in the district offices can take down your input too. Just be sure they know you’re a constituent, ask who you’re talking to, and (politely) request a response.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power.

Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ).

Isn’t this a cover-up?

Dems need to start explicitly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly promising oversight, investigations, subpoenas, hearings, prosecutations, & jail time for those ransacking our country. I want specifics, timelines, inevitability. The new Dem House will get sworn in on 1/3/27. What happens on 1/4/27?

If your “business model“ depends on theft to succeed, then you don’t have a business. You have a criminal enterprise. 

May 25, 2025 Tomorrow is Memorial Day, the day Americans have honored since 1868, when we mourn those military personnel who have died in the service of the country—that is, for the rest of us.

If it weren't for double standards Republicans would have no standards at all.

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities.

There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted.
@HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

I forgot how depressing it is to watch Republicans dismantle the federal government

Why are accepting this? Secret police?

if you don’t have a tip, please consider sharing this post. (either here or elsewhere.) someone who may have a tip could see it.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Thank you to Sen. Jamie Pedersen for this bill, which received unanimous support in the Legislature.

Man child who court ordered to complete mandatory retraining to learn how to not exploit cancer charities has question on why a woman with a Doctorate in Education didn’t detect cancer.😑

The fascism is unbearable enough and the sheer stupidity makes it just that much more insufferable.

1/It’s important to not lose sight of the facts. Despite his election to the presidency, Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Two fed'l cases, each bringing serious charges voted on by a grand jury, were dismissed—only because Trump won the election. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

This!!

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.
