Hold the damn line.

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

This is horrifying beyond words.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents show.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Do not be fooled. This will impact countless people who rely on these services to not die.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Loved when her ends fell out!

Says it all.

If only!

Zelensky refuses US offer to evacuate, saying ‘I need ammunition, not a ride’ | CNN Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned down an offer from the United States of evacuation from the capital city Kyiv, the Ukraine embassy in Britain said Saturday on Twitter.

I think back to this from Zelensky regularly. I don't think I've ever seen a greater example of national leadership and courage in the face of extreme personal danger. edition.cnn.com/2022/02/26/e...

What an embarrassment. This nightmare gets worse every moment of every day.

Not holding townhalls because constituents are pissed off is the civic equivalent and stopping testing because that way the COVID numbers can't go up.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Ready…set…GO!!

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties & regimes

Yes he is.

Book bans aren’t about protecting kids—they’re about controlling minds. Read freely, think critically, and fight censorship. #booksky

They suck equally hard.

One of Musk’s DOGE employees was apparently a user on KiwiFarms, a hate website that existed almost solely to bully/harass minorities into suicide. Think of the worst person on 4Chan, working with 16K other equally awful people to ruin lives. That’s who’s in charge.

Here's what's happened, if you're just tuning in:
1. Musk ally Tom Krause told the Treasury career staff to cut off USAID payments
2. The career staffer resisted, saying doing so is illegal
3. The career staffer was ousted by Trump team
4. Krause has now been installed as head of the payments system

A resignation letter from UCSF's Jack L. Turban, MD MHS, to NCAA President Charles D. Baker, dated February 6, 2025. Turban resigns from the CSMAS committee, disagreeing with the NCAA's decision to ban trans women from women's sports, citing lack of medical/scientific consensus and political motivation. He thanks the committee for their work but criticizes the decision's basis.

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

I just came off the floor after speaking for an hour. I refuse to let Republicans confirm Russ Vought the easy way, so we're holding the floor through the night for 30 straight hours.

Vought has shown he'll ignore the law & constitution. I'll be voting NO tomorrow.

Can’t be in D.C. in a few hours? Then you will definitely want to watch the rally at the Treasury building. This is going to be a big event with lots of speakers that you’ll want to hear from.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …
