Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

I'm pretty sure Kamala Harris wouldn't be bombing us into an illegal war right now

“If the Trump administration was this afraid of one senator with a question, imagine what the voices of tens of millions of Americans organizing will do.”—@padilla.senate.gov

Marshall of Talking Points Memo noted: “A through-line through the last 5 months is that uncertainty is Donald Trump's personal comfort zone, where he feels *his* power is maximized. But in basically every domain in which he operates uncertainty *in itself* is damaging to everyone else involved.”

At the very same time Fox is criticizing Gavin Newsom for attending a fundraiser for cancer research, Donald Trump is at his country club in NJ hosting a high-dollar fundraiser for himself with fat-cat mega donors while we are on the brink of war..

Small but persistent—our regular Friday rush hour protest on Newark Main St tonight. We got flipped the bird half-a-dozen times and a few loud/smoky horn blasts, but mostly had a huge amount of support from drivers and pedestrians: #protestusa

Hague ruling made to help parents whose children are kept from them is mostly used by wealthy abusers. “[T]he legal aid available for petitioners but not for respondents helps to make the remedy of return a particularly powerful legal weapon for batterers.” @19thnews.org 19thnews.org/2025/06/hagu...

A “large and extremely dangerous tornado” was seen over Landenberg PA, 7 miles north of us, ten minutes ago. That’s when our power went out and it got very dark. It’s heading northeast at 40mph, so we’re probably fine here though staying alert. Candles and a cold dinner.

I would like to point out that if the felon hadn't pulled us out of the nuclear agreement with Iran during his first term, we wouldn't be considering bombing Iran today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

Great question. #TrumpCrimeFamily

Tim Walz nails it - and as Rachel Maddow always says, watch what they do, not what they say. #ResistTrump

Business owners have a chat with the White House (satire): www.instagram.com/reel/DLEHkRj...

Oof. BlueSky is more like ThunderCloud today with all the reviling of the #altgov accounts. 🧵 Skepticism is generally a healthy thing and something I encourage, although it seems rather silly that any of us feel the need to explain the reasons for our anonymity but since I’m okay with having to

The pardons he sold took money from the victims — from their pockets (and ours) right into his.

Colorado's protected public lands BELONG TO ALL THE PEOPLE of the U.S. and are available for their recreation and enjoyment. The Big Bad Bill being rammed through by the GOP would SELL OFF our protected lands to the highest bidders (billionaires) for the purpose of funding their tax cuts. 1/2

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

NIH staff are scared and speaking out: #NIH www.instagram.com/reel/DKsJNw5...

Thank you 👊@gavinnewsom.bsky.social

“If you allow space for hope, it can fill the room.”—Rocky Kanaka

An NIH staffer reacts to today's ruling: "I'm looking forward to the day that we are so slammed with work trying to reinstate everything that we had to terminate illegally — I'll work 24/7 to make that happen if I can."

Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump.

The so-called “big beautiful bill” and three of the dangerous items it contains. This US budget bill has already narrowly passed the (R-majority) House and is being considered by the (R-majority) Senate: @kim.senate.gov #budgetbill #bigbeautifulbill www.instagram.com/reel/DKdEjPa...

The crowds gathering for our #nokings parade in Wilmington, DE this morning:

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Wilmington, Delaware #nokings parade this morning:

This morning’s protest in Wilmington, Delaware: #nokings #nokingsday

The crowd covered the Idaho Capitol steps, filled the section of Jefferson Street in front of the building and stretched deep and wide throughout nearby Cecil D. Andrus Park as people chanted “No more kings” and “Love, not hate, makes Idaho great.”

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Our small town Newark DE had a turnout of thousands marching on both sides of Main Street for #nokings parade this afternoon, with a lot of support from passing motorists:
