I thought it was illegal to threaten the President of the USA.

When people refer to the “bond market” they’re talking about people who are buying US Treasury bonds. These are the people/countries who are basically lending the US govt $ & receiving interest payments. Higher interest payments mean that folks aren’t as interested in buying/lending us $ anymore.

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

VAN HOLLEN: Like the McCarthy era witchhunts of the 1950s, your campaign of fear & repression is eating away at foundational values of our democracy. I have to say directly & personally that I regret voting for you for sec for state RUBIO: Your regret for voting for me confirms I'm doing a good job

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

Bruce Springsteen 2/4: "In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. "In my country, they are taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers (more)

It's bewildering to witness their delusion.

We can learn an important lesson from the era of Joseph McCarthy. The danger of fear, the power of courage. And how to defeat a demagogue. youtu.be/OEaj2xlKaeU?...

I will never be okay with this. He should be in prison.

Librarian of Congress is latest casualty in Trump’s racist war on workers https://twp.ai/4inTVK

DEMS! momentum is changing in large part bc we're making noise. Keep calling your congresspeople, keep showing up to rallies, keep talking with your neighbors, keep expressing OUTRAGE to friends & family. TWO DOLLS FIVE PENCILS compare to a 100 million dollar birthday party. With tanks.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

A raccoon smoking meth. I dare you to find a more apt visual of our current state.

Crazy times.....

John Fetterman was meeting with reps from a teachers union when things quickly devolved. He began repeating himself, shouting & questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk. It is raising concerns about his mental health.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

“We’re not seeing these type of enforcements in other neighborhoods… people trying to do things the right way — here legally — are now worried about getting taken away in handcuffs…” levi ismail on the Nashville ICE + @TNHighwayPatrol raids

She could have been our President. Fuck y'all.

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement "He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

China, Russia, and Iran have already targeted our infrastructure. We’re not waiting for the next attack. My new bipartisan bill with Senator Cotton will give public water systems the tools they need to defend against hackers.

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."
