Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” they wrote. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

1. It’s Trump’s not Trumps’. 2. U.S. Attorneys are not the president’s lawyers. They are the government’s lawyers and therefore in the U.S. the people’s lawyers. 3. Ed Martin is fully on board with transforming a government of, by, and for the people into a government of, by, and for Donald Trump.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Democratic Senators held an all-night protest of Russell Vought's nomination. Senator Chris Murphy stayed awake with Diet Mountain Dew, and Senator Brian Schatz said he learned that the "Senate is powered on Celsius," the energy drink. 🤣

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters. This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be. It's about making an effort.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Tariff-inflated prices pass the pain along to consumers, many of whom voted for Trump. Good job, asshole.

@kenmartin.bsky.social If you want another dime from me you need to get on the offensive now!! Musk needs to be held accountable

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

In the past 26 hours, the American national anthem has been booed at: Ottawa Senators game Calgary Flames game Toronto Raptors game Vancouver Canucks game More to come. And it’s totally justified. We’re pissed.
