Tommy Tuberville is running for Governor. Alabama Constitution’s 7 year residency requirement be damned. You actually have to live here, not just live in a hotel room for a day like in the Senate. Flouting this is more proof that laws are meant to bind you and I, but don’t apply to the GOP.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 72 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

America First = America Alone Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Nothing is more absurd & self sabotaging than a nation of immigrants turning anti-immigrant. We must leave America behind & continue to build the future attracting the best & brightest from around the world. That is how we can continue to dream the California Dream #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear

In the middle of the night when no one was watching, House Republicans voted to take health care away from more than 13M Americans and raise grocery costs for at least 3M Americans — all to give the wealthiest a $250,000 tax break. Their “big beautiful bill” is a big betrayal.
