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.

I am not going to stop calling for an FBI background check of Tulsi Gabbard and neither should you.

People are leaving Twitter because itโ€™s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they donโ€™t enjoy.

Itโ€™s not rocket science.

From my earliest days in Congress, Iโ€™ve made it a mission to fight the scourges of HIV/AIDS and anti-LGBTQ discrimination.

In 55 days, this building will become the epicenter of corruption on our planet.

Thank God Merrick Garland waited nearly 2 years to appoint Jack Smith because, after all, nothing is more important than preventing the optics of politicization.

Remember new users are coming on daily, unsure of engagement. The more posts you like and reply to, the strong the platform becomes !

Once I deactivated my Twitter account (not X), I feel a sense of freedom. Not going back!

In the last two weeks, we have seen many of our institutions and media bow down to Trump. Tomorrow, I'm sharing some of my favorite writers who are uncompromisingly pro-democracy.

I still want to see that Gaetz ethics report.

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name, the full police report on Pete Hegseth allegedly assaulting a woman has been released, and new audio just came out of RFK Jr. calling Trump supporters โ€œbelligerent idiots.โ€

Safe to say things are already going terribly for Trump!

Dana Goldberg post:

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

They say the cover up is always worse.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

The Gaetz nomination proves yet again what too many Americans forgot between 2020 and 2024 - that Trump is a bumbling, incompetent fool.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
