I am aware of reports that threats were made against Texas elected officials in our state.

Threats of violence will be investigated and those responsible will be held accountable.

I have instructed @ilstatepolice.bsky.social to ensure we maintain public safety.

Sadly, I have shared this type of story with Congressional Members TOO MANY TIMES. Either food v. medicine, food v. grocery, or going without food to feed their children. 😢💔

They Are Running Out Of Sick Minded Recruits…. Now they’ll take on anyone! SMDH🤨🤨

America in 2025.

Sections of the U.S. Constitution Missing from Government Website Articles I, Sections 9 and 10 are inaccessible on Congress-run portal, raising concerns over transparency and public access.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer calls for releasing the grand jury transcripts:

"Given the magnitude and abhorrence of Epstein and Maxwell's crimes, unsealing the grand jury transcripts is not just appropriate, it is necessary to understand the full scope of the abuse and those who enabled it."

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Government Data Is Under Fire, but It Makes the World Go ‘Round The data influences how much people pay in taxes, receive in retirement benefits and even how much they earn on some investments. The consumer-price index, published each month, is used to update ever...

This story hasn’t gained much traction. Trump can really screw up the world by cooking the books at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. His motive is to make himself look good, but the effect could be catastrophic to markets.

My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

Headline of the Day:

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Noticing a pattern here.

I understand the rage that these people evoke. I have recently spent 7yrs submerged in their environment. I have run the gamut of emotions on that experience. I digress. The common theme, of these Bible thumping bigots, is they’re arrogant as FUCK! I still haven’t figured out why. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Well, and terrifyingly, said.

NEVER FORGET:As the price of food continues to climb, those of us on SNAP will have reduced monthly support due to the BBB, people will die of malnutrition and hunger. Food banks are already overrun with people who are starving.

Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

World in $1.5tn ‘plastics crisis’ hitting health from infancy to old age, report warns Plastic production has increased more than 200 times since 1950 and hits health at every stage from extraction to disposal, says review in the Lancet

We are supposed to be smart. Set a 5 year phase-out for manufacturing any plastic that cannot be fully recycled? Set a 7 year phase out for selling any plastic into any situation where where it cannot & will not be recycled? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Please, we the people, humbly ask that you have the conversation about election interference in the 2024 election. Donald Trump is illegally holding the office. The votes should never have been certified. He is a convicted felon who led an insurrection against the nation.

If we want our children and grandchildren to be able to lead a good life on this planet, we must finally stop destroying the foundations of our existence: fertile soils, clean water, healthy air and the diversity of life.

CBS News has confirmed that the FBI, Bureau of Prisons and the DOJ all have a copy of the prison video from the night Epstein died with the missing minute.

Why won't they release it? What's there to hide?

🧵This is the official transcript of the videotaped deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell.

This is the deposition that Maxwell fought to hide.

Held at the law offices of Boies, Schiller & Flexer, on April 22, 2016 in NYC

The transcript is more than 400 pages long, 7 hours of depositions held over 2 days

@phoebe11.bsky.social sharing with thanks because this must be shared & shared & shared! #MessTexas

Finally, a united nation.
