I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

People are not connecting the dots. Please assist.

Congress: Stop Trump's Attack on Birthright Citizenship! Trump's attack on birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, and it's just one part of MAGA's far-right playbook to scapegoat our immigrant neighbors, all while Trump makes life easier for his wealth...

Since the government is abdicating its responsibility to inform the public on basic health issues, we are filling the void.

For your top questions on the Measles outbreak, I tried to summarize the top take homes this morning.

I stay committed to ensuring you have the info you need.

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.

“You’re terminated because…?”

Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.

Peter Baker reported from Moscow in the early days of President Vladimir Putin’s reign. "This reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access," he wrote of the White House's plan to handpick reporters. nyti.ms/41uUaN0

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

First they came for the federal employees,
And I did not speak out,
Because I was not a federal employee
...

You know the rest of the poem.

Act accordingly.

I sent my list even though I am not a federal employee. Everyone should send an email to HR@opm.gov

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business.
