Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if the military didn't show up for the parade?

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had not previously seen this photo from ICE arrest of @seiu.org president David Huerta. This is how they treat a national figure. Imagine what they are doing to others.

People often stop me in the street (never happened) and ask: “What do people like on Bluesky?” “Mountains and flowers,” comes my reply. Mt. Fuji with a sprinkle of flowers for #stunday. ❤️ ✌🏽 #photography #nature #art #eastcoastkin #stormhour #photohour #fuji #japan #flowers #bloomscrolling #scape

For the raptor fans, there was a region in the central valley in California where a little over a week ago over 250 Swainson's hawk were spotted over a single field. I stopped by Wednesday morning. About 50 over a several mile distance. Hope they're back yearly! very cool! #birds

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Some Americans have argued Canadian border security also checks phones. The difference is, they do it when they have probable cause that someone is going to work when they are claiming they won't, etc. And they aren't banning people for politics 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp #CdnPoli www.narcity.com/canada-us-tr...

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

Disturbing headline! The unvetted, unpaid special government employee Elon Musk, who led DOGE, that’s been deep into America’s confidential information, could be offered political asylum by Russia? This is why you never allow security protocols to be subverted… www.newsweek.com/russia-offer...

NYT reporters aren't supposed to publicly criticize other NYT reporters and they employ people to stalk their employees online to make sure they're not running afoul of their social media policy. People have, allegedly, been fired for it.

On average, 125 people in the U.S. are killed with guns every day. More than 200 are shot and wounded. #GunViolenceAwarenessDay is a reminder that lives are at stake. I'll keep working in Congress to end this epidemic and protect our communities.
