Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Here at the Health & Human Services (HHS) rally in Washington, DC, to support our federal workers! Interesting chant from the crowd. “Hey, hey, RFK! We remember JFK!” Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke first and compared JFK’s championing of science & human rights to RFK’s anti-science stance.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

They're using fear to bully you into compliance. Fear of losing your job, your savings, your Medicare/medicaid, your rights, your freedom. They're using fear to bully our allies, to break our alliances and promises. What do they have to fear? Nothing so far. That needs to change.

If the first thing Trump does is take away education opportunities to cut taxes for the rich, what does that tell kids? Let's make things efficient & create more career opportunities & welcoming schools. But don't pull the rug out from under kids. youtu.be/um-DcyIrHSU

“The ultimate moral test of any government is the way it treats three groups of its citizens. First, those in the dawn of life — our children. Second, those in the shadows of life — our needy, our sick, our handicapped. Third, those in the twilight of life — our elderly.” Hubert Humphrey

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov. if we are going to keep teachers in the classroom and attract new teachers to overcome shortages, we have to focus on what matters: competitive pay & support, not defunding and chaos from Washington.

Again, don't rule out that Trump is trying to rush through the quid pro quo W/O the dismissal -- possibly even a pardon (which would avoid having to air this before Dale Ho). And my suspicion is Bondi is trying to frame State of NY to push her back off this.

This is a flamethrower that also effectively torpedoes any possibility that the SDNY will dismiss the case against Adams without scrutiny and ensures any prosecutor filing the dismissal motion would do so at risk of bar discipline. Holy shit

Absolutely amazing—and embarrassing. - Grossly unprepared - Absolutely no grasp on geopolitical and military policy - Proving a Fox News guy as SecDef is a really bad idea (He’s nothing without an ear piece or teleprompter feeding him lines.)

The curious thing about billionaires defying the rule of law and the orders of the court, is that their wealth depends entirely on enforceable legal rights: contract, property, and so on. Those saying court orders have no value need to be careful what they wish for.
