HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

I’m so proud of my brotha, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, new Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee. He’s a tough progressive with a strong work ethic. As this corrupt admin breaks laws & enriches themselves while our people suffer, he will lead the fight to hold them accountable & show the nation.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

20+ years ago, results of a 'War Game' set up for the Atlantic (reported by me) showed that US attacks on Iran would backfire more sweepingly than land wars in Iraq or even Vietnam. The fundamentals have not changed. DO NOT DO THIS. Or even rant about it. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

ICE agents don't look like or behave like law enforcement officers. They're geared-up as though they're going into battle while descending on unarmed civilians - like an invading army. No wonder much of the public despises them. ktla.com/news/local-n...
