Nobody owes me an apology. We do all owe each other our teamwork and support.
This weekend is GOTV for a special election in Altoona PA. A win would rock Trump's world. Our candidate is a National Guardsman and a nurse. Come out and help! www.mobilize.us/blaircounty/...
Is there a coder out there who could create an Iran video game for him so we don’t have to witness his fantasies become actual policy and human rights violations?
Can’t emphasize enough how outrageous this is for veterans. Basic officer training is almost all planning and supervising: the five P’s (look it up), “Always time for more reconnaissance” and “Supervision is the most important troop leading step” are dogma. Hard to watch a failure like this.
Like a true statesman he isn’t focused on our surging gas prices. London real estate is the key issue.
Up to $2 billion per day. Enough to give $200 to EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN CHILD LIVING IN POVERTY instead. Every single day.
If the preliminary Pentagon estimate holds, that this war costs $1 billion per day, it will mean in one month we could have given $25k to everyone who dropped ACA coverage or built a nuclear power plant.
Today @fetterman.senate.gov will go on the record for all time in support of a war Rubio admitted was prompted by Israel not any imminent threat to us.
He will never debate this or answer to us about it in any open forum.
Inevitable but in no way acceptable.
If you’re anywhere near Pittsburgh on Friday night, come out to Braddock to hear Michael Fanone. He put his life on the line for people like me and he still isn’t giving up. See you there.

This war is dumb and illegal
“There’s rumors of war, and wars that have been.
The meaning of life has been lost in the wind.”

My friend and former helicopter pilot Matt used the concept of entropy to explain why veterans need to be at these ICE trainings.
This Ash Wednesday, thankful for Cardinal Cupich of Chicago: “The Holy Family … were refugees, fleeing state violence, crossing borders in fear. The Son of God begins his life on the run. We fail in living up to our faith if we claim to follow Christ while dismissing the suffering of migrants.”
In PA, which John represents, the EDPa has had to reject *NINETY* attempts to imprison people “without cause, without notice, and in clear violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.” The cases keep coming because of Trump’s defiance.
He really is the weakest senator there is. Two people have been murdered, there’s been no accountability, and he believes the Senate is powerless. He believes Trump gets what Trump wants.
If you’re a Pennsylvanian who thinks the human warehouses ICE wants to construct in our state are immoral and intolerable — as well as an insult to the memory of the immigrants who built our state — PLEASE sign the petition here: c.org/HkRJXBRNkD
Haven't seen the longer version of this on BlueSky so hope this works. The speech itself is chilling, but the minute before McKellen explains it is a little-known work of Shakespeare, Sir Thomas More delivering "the strangers' case" against an anti-immigrant mob.

Democrats have demanded an end to roving ICE patrols and stricter warrant requirements. If ICE intended to comply they would not need a new $87 million warehouse in our state. A warehouse for human beings.
Stunning observation from conservative Minnesota judge who himself clerked for Scalia: “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
Please share. We need mail and email to @fetterman.senate.gov asking him to retract this ridiculous statement and stand tall against this lawlessness in the funding vote. For the sake of Renee Good and Alex Pretti do not write off his vote!
Copies of these should be put up immediately on state/city property with this added: “The enslaved people memorialized here mean more to us than the president who tried to erase them. It is our patriotic duty to read every word on these signs.”
This is insane and monstrous and I cannot understand for the life of me how this agency is about to be given billions more of our dollars
Very noticeable at this vigil outside the ICE office in Pittsburgh how many new people came out, with a church or just following their own conscience.
Best turnout yet for this weekly prayer vigil outside of Pittsburgh’s ICE office.
A sick irony that Maduro will now get free healthcare paid for by our taxes while millions of Americans go without
55,000 Pennsylvanians have declined coverage since enrollment began in November. There was no good reason for this. It’s the scandal of the year.
One of the best pieces I’ve read all year.
The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.
A huge day as hopes to save affordable healthcare are renewed. Join me and Susan Wild — who’ve both been there when battleground district members have to push back — at 3pm eastern to discuss. Here: open.substack.com/live-stream/...?
It’s not in America’s interest to erase the path to coexistence. Telling millions of Palestinians they have no rights and no place to go is wrong, inhumane, and a recipe for several more generations of hostility to America.
