Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

He nails it.

The same Nazi playbook

The 'find out' phase is here.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

“She didn't say that. And if she did, she didn’t mean it. And if she did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.”

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Four flu-related children deaths reported in Virginia www.wavy.com/news/first-p...

John Lewis wouldn't quit. Angela Davis wouldn't quit. Marcia P. Johnson wouldn't quit. We can't either.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Nailed it.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

200 million dollars of waste.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hypocrite says what?

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Wise man…

I have decided to call @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social EVERY DAY to tell him to fight harder. The days of being cautious and timid have led us to fascism. I will remind him he works for us and that he needs to ramp it up. I called and left a message today. Please join me. His number: 202-225-5936

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

This is the kind of callous assholery that makes my blood boil. That it comes courtesy of a chain gang of inept DOGEbags makes it even more infuriating. www.wired.com/story/lenaca...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Todays hero

While the governor of Oklahoma is on right-wing media every day glazing DOGE, domestic violence homicides in his state have hit a record high. Between all the pronoun-bashing and diversity-slashing Kevin Stitt does on TV, when does he have any time to address this crisis?

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
