Shut the Senate down, Democrats. Object to every unanimous consent. Throw your bodies in the way. No fucking post office names, no fucking bullshit bills, nothing until Republicans condemn what happened to Padilla and move to hold Noem accountable.

Kristi Noem held a press conference and said she was going to place the military in a state to remove its Democratically elected leaders. This is unacceptable. Impeach her now. #ImpeachNoem

I may say this every day from now on, but fuck Marco Rubio. He doesn’t speak for me when wishing goodwill to Russia. On behalf of the American people Rubio, get bent you traitorous quisling. Put some sunflower seeds in your pocket.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

It has been nine years since the mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub. The shooter used an assault rifle to kill 49 people & injure 53. The majority of the lives taken were part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Urge Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill to #BanAssaultWeapons (202) 224-3121.

Fuck Marco Rubio. I don’t wish Russia anything other than the hope that they all put sunflower seeds in their pockets.

BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights. Then they gassed it. Then they dragged out the driver. All three people in that car are U.S. citizens. This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

Old School Marine- Reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

I just donated 14 inches of hair to Wigs for Kids.

John Fuglesang remains the GOAT. His recent comment about Trump just sings with righteous truth.... "The only thing the Trump administration hates more than the New Testament is the US Constitution." Chef's kiss.

👀 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social : “Ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than Americans who boast how American they are? Cali gives $80 BILLION more than it takes... This isn’t even legal. The only thing he hates more than the new testament is the constitution.”

I prefer my cities just like whisky - neat. Without ICE.

Trump said he invoked 10 U.S.C. 12406 as his authority for federalizing the Guard in California. Yet that statute clearly says orders to the guard would still come from the Governor. Is Newsom on board with this or not?

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

🚨BIG STORY: Senators put a line into the crypto bill requiring bankrupt banks to prioritize remunerating crypto investors over depositors. The provision could require banks to take cash from your savings account & use it to pay senators' crypto donors. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...
