Did you know that I am the Executive Director for Blue Missouri? Our members raised over $230,000 in the last cycle for down ballot democratic nominees in the reddest and most rural districts in the state. No one is doing the work we do…you can be a part of it. You can join us. bluemissouri.org

Wyoming Republicans have banned so-called “compelled speech” regarding pronouns. No one, they proclaimed, should be forced to use someone’s preferred pronouns. And yet, when Senate Chairman Tim French was addressed as “Madam Chairman”, he was not pleased. Not one bit.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Elon lied. Funding for Ebola and PEPFAR have not resumed. Please share widely.

The grow room smells all loamy and rich now that seedlings are coming up. I have 5 types of tomatoes, 7 types of peppers, 2 types carrots, 1 beets, 4 types bush beans, garbanzo beans, 10 herbs, leeks, green, white and red onions, a stunning type eggplant, 4 types potatoes chitting and a whole

Here is a survey from my congressman asking if we approve of DOGE and asking for places they can look for waste. I told him they can start with his salary...feel free to respond. iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/E...

When was the last time you cried? Me: this morning. 🙃🤞🦋

🚨BREAKING: Lauren Borbert has started a new side business making apple butter🍎

I spoke at the Boone County Democrats Chili Supper Thursday night…look at this crowd, friends.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I wrote about moral courage, and what those who have it have in common asharangappa.substack.com/p/fearless-s...

NEW: A blockbuster ruling in Wisconsin hands vote suppressors a big loss. A victory for voting rights! Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXur...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

A huge snowstorm is beginning in the Midwest USA just now. 6"-12" (15cm-30cm) of snow is forecast, and it will be cold af the next few days. I have my larder stocked and I'm hunkered down for the duration. I'm going to bake an Australian Apple Tea Cake today. Randy Feltface gave me the recipe!

An important point to keep in mind.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

My kid got a kazoo in his Valentine’s yesterday and, while the parent who gave these can absolutely F off, when I told my kid it was broken because he blew in it and it made no noise, my own mother heard, laughed, and then straight up betrayed me and taught him how to use it.

My former law school dean, Harold Koh, used to admonish incoming law students to "Never let your skill exceed your virtue." A while back, I wrote about how lawyers, in particular, have skills they can use for good or evil. Reupping here cafe.com/notes-from-c...

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

With CDC removal of trans data, its important I use my platform to support research in this space. Emory is doing a virtual study on HIV+ trans-fem individuals and working on shaping viral load testing for this population, with some compensation. If it applies to you, here's the link to enroll:

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.
