Shout out to @repbeatty.bsky.social, whose recounting of her fight with Donald Trump not only models how we should stand up to bullies, but also made my day. (Perhaps my week. Even my month. Maybe my year.) THAT is a lawmaker!

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

The measure of a society is how it invests in its children. For decades, I have advocated for Head Start because every child deserves a strong start in life. Today, I stand with the more than 100 civil rights and child advocacy organizations opposing efforts to dismantle the program from within.

What is the status of our military leadership?? Are there any smart capable leaders left? Between Iran and blowing up boats there is little to demonstrate the military is run by anything but spineless morons..

It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards.

Any data on increases in physician turnover and appointment wait times for routine/wellness visits. I have found it almost comical how often I need to find a primary care doc and then wait for months for an appt. Easy to see the healthy not using their insurance.

This illustrates how dumb POTUS is. A $14M mistake that will require even MORE of our tax payer $ to rectify.
I clean actual swimming pools for a living. This will not work. The reflection pool used to act much like a natural body of water with natural filtration. It would (leak) drain through the granite and new water was added. Now it's been
"sealed" with polyurethane and will no longer drain itself and the standing water will grow even MORE algae. With circulation and filtration added, it will no longer be a reflecting pool. Only still water perfectly reflects. It's ruined.

@charlesgaba.com The true 250th anniversary of our democratic republic is June 21, 2038 once the 9th state ratified our constitution. Hopefully, we'll make up for this year being ruined by Republicans then with a super celebration.

This is an insane solution. And needs to happen immediately. VA legislature should retire the whole state Supreme Court and appoint a new set of judges who will uphold the vote of the people.

A naval blockade is an act of war. This is legally nonsense. If the war is over, then Iran won and US lost. By any strategic measure. Regime in place. They “own” the Straits. Uranium remains weapon-usable and in Iran.

America in recent years reminded me of the old joke about the guy falling from the Empire State building who is asked as he plummets down how it is going and he says, "So far so good." Except we've passed that stage. And we're now at the "Holy shit, we're going to splatter on the sidewalk!" stage.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov And any other elected reps: Since "Trump's security" is now so important, introduce a one-line bill forbidding the current President from playing golf! Seriously, Trump should not be allowed on a golf course from a national security perspective.

The number of ways Trump has screwed up Iran policy is truly mind-boggling: Pulling out of the JCPOA was disaster one, that triggered them resuming enrichment (disaster two), that led to new negotiation which he disrupted by bombing last year (disaster three), that led to resumed negotiations...

It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.
