Indiana still needs power restored snd assistance 12 days after a devastating storm and this administration is doing yard work/renovating Washington and holding sporting events in public spaces. Taxes are meant to fund actual public service not pet projects. FEMA is public safety, ICE is not.

Haley Steven’s should give a master class in how to acknowledge an election loss. Thank you for showing us that good behavior is still a thing.

@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social Is it really ok for a Senator to tell a nominee that he will vote yes for a “favor” Senators should not need to vote for an unethical and incompetent nominee to get something in return.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social Thank you for reminding me I have had this book for a while. I started it today. I am even more interested after hearing the author speak.

@fetterman.senate.gov Please consider voting to pay workers but hold further ICE/border control spending until policy changes. The current nominee may be a good guy but his experience is in politics not running a large/diverse agency. He is not independent thinking, his answers were too familiar

TSA and the Coast Guard are Americans and they are not getting paid because Republicans are refusing to pay them. Please make their America great again and vote to pay the people who voted for you.

@blumenthal.senate.gov Consider a hiring freeze. Normal when budget cuts are necessary Quotas are not normal and crowd already overloaded courts and detention facilities. Why are we confining everybody instead of identifying violent offenders. New policy and department financial audits are needed

“They’re arguing that they need to negotiate policy changes. You cannot negotiate with liars. You cannot negotiate with murderers. You cannot negotiate with fascists.” — CT Rep Jillian Gilchrest, US Congress Candidate, on Dems funding ICE for 2 more weeks This is the energy.

Could make an interesting play with the three spirits as black, woman and trans. If only I had some writing skill.

Nurses save lives every single day, and now the Dept. of Education wants to make their degrees harder to afford. In the middle of a national shortage. It makes ZERO sense. I work beside these heroes. I see what they give. And I’m not staying quiet while Washington makes their path even harder.

If we have to cut departments and programs why are we funding commercials for ICE? Waste and abuse of taxpayer funds. I sound like a conservative Republican don’t I. Homeland Security is out of fiscal and humanitarian control!

My question to congress is why not vote to maintain the affordable care act as is until a replacement is found and voted on and reopen government now so all employees are getting paid. This should be acceptable to all for now.

1/2 🧵Blaming ANY single cause is an act of trying to oversimplify the "cause." Like anything in politics, it's multifactorial. Nothing in my post suggested elected democrats as being the "cause." That would have been stupid.

What could have happened if Ms Noem smiled and invited the senator in to ask his question. She was obviously comfortable with her mission. Her response looked weak. She/they chose violence over a peaceful resolution.

Trump wants violence. Let’s not give it to him. Stay peaceful. Stay powerful. That’s how we win.

Only in America can a convicted Criminal become President, get immunity from the courts, and get permission to loot the country.
