I love nature and art. Dark-eyed juncos and McKay's buntings. Native plants, mushing, reading, writing, watercolor, glitter, and art messes. Justice.

I've been trying to get the Treasury's hidden Epstein files turned over since 2023. Last night I tried again to get them disclosed and Republicans blocked my bill to do so.

Lucy McBath telling story of GA man, present in GA since he was 2. He is a double amputee, who can't use a wheelchair. He is not permitted a shower chair. He is required to crawl thru feces to shower.

These are his wife & daughters, all citizens.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

According to the US and Israeli right wings, Iran has been in the last mile of their nuclear weapons program for my entire adult life.

Netanyahu drew his red line at the UN nearly 14 years ago.

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

In the modern era, no American president has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. None.

I’m ordering flags to be flown at half-staff as we pay our final respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson ahead of his interment this weekend.

Reverend Jackson’s lifetime of lessons and wisdom leaves a righteous path that is well prepared to carry forward his vision of a better world.

I’m voting NO on Trump and Netanyahu’s war in Iran.

The American people do not support Donald Trump dragging the United States into yet another endless war in the Middle East, and neither do I.

Iran War: the Trump admin is just making up as they go along why we are in the war. The truth wd be consistent and verifiable. This reminds me of the Trump defense du jour in the MAL classified docs case (the docs were planted, I declassified them in my mind, the documents are mine…etc).

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ended restrictions that barred political appointees at the Justice Department from participating in political activities, according to a memo seen by NBC. The rules were originally put in place to avoid even the appearance of political influence, prohibiting those

Joe Neguse and Kristi Noem, split screen.

Joe Neguse and Kristi Noem, split screen.

Neguse is walking Noem through her false testimony yesterday that her $220M propaganda campaign was competitively bid.

He's reading right from no-bid justification. 4 companies were given the bid.

Neguse: Where is it HQed?
Noem: I don't know.
Neguse: We don't know either. We tried to find it.

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map β€” clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

Last week Trump again told Congress and the country that his strikes on Iran last year "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Today he says they were two weeks away from a bomb, something his Administration has not supported with intelligence.

More lies about the war.
