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.

Really disagreed with Robert Kagan 25 years ago, about attacking Iraq. Really agree with him now, about attacking Iran. www.theatlantic.com/internationa... Including the last line. On countless fronts, it's a time to be counted. A time to choose sides and stand up.

University of Florida - where professors can’t teach a class on “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality” but a student can get top award for writing a manifesto for the KKK in a seminar on “originalism”. And the judge who taught that “seminar” is now a Trump nominated judge. 🙃 Florida … oh man.

JUST IN: Khalil left the Louisiana detention center where he's been since March, when ICE agents arrested him over his pro-Palestinian activism. A federal judge ruled the government could no longer detain him.

Tulsi Gabbard is now saying exactly the opposite of what she testified & the opposite of the statement in the worldwide threat assessment the entire intelligence community produced. It’s rather dangerous when the director of national intelligence cannot accurately convey a hard-and-fast reality.

Trump’s EPA is considering overturning a ban on cancer-causing asbestos. A top EPA official involved in the decision once lobbied for the American Chemistry Council – the group who sued to stop the ban. Trump is risking our health so corporations can line their pockets.

What’s a worse lie: The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with. Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

How different the past years might’ve been if @maya4rights.bsky.social was our Mayor. No corruption, pettiness and collaboration with the Trump regime. Just principled, progressive leadership focused on results. I was so honored to receive Maya’s #1 rank endorsement this morning in Harlem.

This is a major boon to discrimination, dehumanization and elimination from the Trump regime. Trans people aren't "trans", we're "untreatably ill". You don't have to be a historian to see the precedents here: this is an Untermenschen law.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

“I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me.” A month after Tom Homan's threat, he was spotted nearby visiting a Mexican restaurant. "Like a mobster," a Waltham resident described. Countless ICE sweeps have since occurred, as well as the creation of a network determined to protect neighbors.
