Unlike Trump, we don’t need to lie about the size of our DC event. #handsoff

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

When you think about how empty you have to be inside to pretend like a golf game where no one will call you out on your actual score, and tell you that you didn’t win, is a real win…it’s really hard for most of us to wrap our head around it.

Young musicians' dreams were dashed when the U.S. Marine Band followed orders to cancel a concert featuring middle and high school students of color, a result of the Trump administration’s executive order banning DEI initiatives. 60 Minutes, Sunday.

I guess the @washingtonpost.com op eds will be addressing the very important topics of personal liberties and free markets because surely that’s the most important thing that happened today. #SlavaUkraine

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.

I represent thousands of federal workers who live in Western PA and serve the American people. A lot of them have told me they’re worried about their ability to do their job free from political interference. (1/2)

I have a suggestion. No more pronouncing DOGE like the crypto. From now on it's "daa·jee" 🔉 www.britannica.com/dictionary/e...

@fetterman.senate.gov Please vote NO on Kash Patel for FBI Director. He absolutely supports the purge that's going on at the FBI and in the DOJ for agents and prosecutors who defended the rule of law. Patel would do whatever Trump tells him to, and Trump is absolutely going to tell him what to do!

Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board? Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace. Reporter: Have you seen any shows there? Trump: No, I didn’t go.

NEW PIECE. Late in the day but without any update on the weekend I wanted some kind of update out. Plus, I still have a backlog to catch up on. In this piece I cover Marko Elez's bounce out of, and back into, government as well as the AG Lawsuit which cites me. www.crisesnotes.com/day-eleven-o...

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.

@fetterman.senate.gov Vote NO on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. Neither are qualified for the positions. Hold the Line Senator! ~ From a Pittsburgh PA supporter

If the concern was fraud and waste, why is DOGE all computer programmers and not forensic accountants? It’s like they aren’t looking to audit anything…

@fetterman.senate.gov I sure hope you're fighting hard like the other Senators I am watching against Vought's nomination. I don't see you fighting - have you lost your fire? This battle is worth fighting. Where are you?

Let’s go FBI agents. You know what to do. They can’t fire all of you!

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

@fetterman.senate.gov @davemccormick.bsky.social Why were the 14 Inspector Generals fired by the President? How are we supposed to trust an Executive Branch that eliminates the independent positions designed to oversee the lawful and efficient administration of our Government! I am alarmed!

@deluzio.house.gov Pittsburgh (Mt Lebanon) constituent here - Just donated to you. Also listened to Jon Stewart's Weekly Show podcast with @aoc.bsky.social and agree. It's time to fight like brawlers for the working class. Use every trick in the book!

Hey, I just realized Trump’s pandemic era tweet “COVFEFE” must have stood for “COnVicted FEderal FElon.

@fetterman.senate.gov I wasn't able to leave a voice mail or speak w staff 😔 Please vote No on Pete Hegseth for Defense Sec. Setting aside his character, he's totally unqualified and without the gravitas for the position. He would be Trump's enforcer not capable of managing this huge responsibility.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

GOP extremists want House Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so that House Republicans can lower the amount of your Social Security check. Hard pass.

@indivisible.org How do we push what @timothysnyder.bsky.social talked abt on @maddow.bsky.social last night, a Dem leader such as Kamala Harris selecting qualified individuals to serve as a Shadow Government/alternative Cabinet to communicate to Media our approach to governing? Offense vs Defense.
