GOOD NEWS: (Can you believe it?) The Senate just passed my bipartisan Colorado River conservation bill, a critical step for preserving water throughout the basin. I don't care who's in charge – I'll never stop fighting to deliver for Colorado and protect our environment.

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

This is so fucked up. Get in the fucking streets. Fuck maga, fuck republikkkans, fuck djt and the rest of these fascist enablers. Fight back.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Disturbing and alarming. When a U.S. Senator can't speak up on behalf of his constituents without being handcuffed and manhandled, that is a glaring warning sign for our democracy.

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.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

It's a game. Everything is a game to these clueless assholes.

The gerontocracy has real consequences: The House just passed their budget resolution -- a vote that would have likely failed if every Democratic seat was filled. Remember: We've got three Dems missing -- one who's out from illness and two others from members who died in office. Not great.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

This is what democracy looks like #handsoff2025 @indivisiblecs.bsky.social

I stand with Heard Island and the people who don't live there as well as the penguins that do.

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Elon Musk went to Wisconsin where he said the "destiny of humanity" rested on the election. Tonight the voters agreed and rejected his and Trump's undemocratic vision for the country.
