Know what else was a huge red flag? The House resolution honoring the life -- and LEGACY -- of Charlie Kirk.

A legacy that promotes the disparagement of your colleagues, female members of SCOTUS and many of your constituents.

Why on earth did you vote for it?

Came here to comment about the Kirk resolution but see you are all on it. How are you representing us when you vote to honor a man who thinks the Civil Rights bill was a mistake? It's the easiest thing in the world to vote no. It's inexcusable.

Love to my fellow constituents who get it.

"Right now, the most important thing is for us to come together as Americans and stop listening to those voices who would push us apart. That is why asking me to stop beating you with this sock full of quarters will only further divide our nation."

Horrible, especially after all the good work reaching compromises on that bill.

Know that he has been reamed for this in the comments. I urge anyone with a subscription to check it out. No one's having it.

I am sincerely asking you what the day of action consists of.

We can hate on Donald Trump all you want but I can't sit idly by and let you run down mid century Syroco wall decorations.

ICE Is Making an Example of California The repeated targeting of California workers is ​a deliberate spectacle, meant to show the rest of​ the country what to expect if we don’t fall in line.

People have long asked themselves what they would do when faced with mass roundups and detentions. Until recently, this question may have seemed to be asking you to imagine yourself into the past. What would you do? You would do what you’re doing right now. My new story, on California:

Will you be visiting your constituents in detention centers and doing some ground work on this? Can you censure the people doing it? What is your plan?

Congestion pricing by the # β€˜s 6 months in:
* 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily
* Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65%
* Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025
* $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements
* B’way attendance +12%
* Subway ridership +7%

So yes this program is a SUCCESS.

These people are monsters but cherry picking what he says here when he refers to dispatching all the resources they can and providing supplemental $ as requested is does not seem honest or serve your purposes. Bash away when it comes to gutting the NOAA or if they are lying, which they so often are.

I feel sorry for people who have never worn a bra, because they will never know the pleasure of taking one off.

Here's the view of the DIE-IN in front of Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick's office building in PA-01, as seen from above.

We want him to VOTE NO on Trump's Billionaire Bailout Budget Bill!

Thank you to Ava Redmond for her drone work!

The math on preventative health care for all is so blindingly obvious that everyone sees it except us. So we just keep paying the most money per capita for the worst outcomes and the most suffering, while for-profit health care manages its quarterly earnings.

i remember watching the ferguson protest live and seeing cops deliberately escalate when the crowd was entirely peaceful. told a friend; they couldn't believe it. hope people see and believe their own eyes now.

People in the comments are very on point. Oh how things have changed in the NY Times comment section on Israel/Gaza in the last six months.

Total thug behavior by federal agents toward a U.S. Senator who was simply questioning a cabinet secretary. Thank you Senator Padilla for your courage in standing up for Californians & against fascism.

Literally saying most of the protesters are violent. They're making up their own reality and I'm sure plenty of people believe it.

2024 Notable Children's Books list Take a look at the complete 2024 Notable Children's Books list which was announced at LibLearnX in January 2024.

People always fall back on their childhood favorites, and that's sweet, but let the American Library Association recommend something contemporary that your son may find more relatable! www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2024/02...

What concrete actions are you taking to hold them accountable? Maybe I've missed something but I have been following this account consistently since January and all I've seen is public remarks.

They also have no sense of urgency.

I have no idea why you've chosen to turn this into a fight, when I suspect we agree on most things, but I guess have a nice day. My first Bluesky spat! Historic!

If you feel constituents expressing their opinions to the person who represents them is a waste of time or that we should remain silent until they have a specific actionable plan about how to address an issue, we simply disagree. What specific actions is his office taking that you are happy with?

Could he approach a relevant committee with fellow Democrats to censure him? Could he write legislation to block them from using Signal chats? Some people like Booker and Van Hollen are at least trying. Do you feel satisfied that a bluesky post is the extent of what we can expect from our reps?
