The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

I knew it! The White House is considering SUSPENDING HABEAS CORPUS. And here I thought I was being paranoid.

Tennessee Republicans: “It’s ok that we steer hundreds of millions to private school vouchers! We’re investing in public schools!” REALITY: “Lee leads TN to the bottom in school funding” (h/t @TNEdReport): open.substack.com/pub/theeduca... Lower than MISSISSIPPI! 😳

WATCH: Chaotic scenes on the house floor after @repchristodd & the Republicans cut off any debate on @aronmaberry’s anti-DEI bill BEFORE EVEN 1 QUESTION WAS ASKED, a “cowardly” move that drew understandable fury from @tndemocrats — who call the bill racist. Not democracy.

Senator Padilla (D-CA) was one of the nicest and caring Senators I ever spoke with. He’s also tough about standing up to Donald Trump on issues like immigration. His voice is crucial. He just joined Bluesky today. Please consider giving him a follow!

Lil' Marco went to Denmark and wrote a sugar coated summary for State Media. Denmark's Foreign Ministry had a different takeaway from the meeting. Days without being an international embarrassment: 0

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

ICE has detained Tufts grad student Rumesya Ozturk and revoked her visa. Her crime? She co-wrote an op-ed supporting Palestine. (Not a crime) Her whereabouts are currently unknown. We live in a fascist state. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

My US Congresswoman, @repemilyrandall.bsky.social has held 5 Town Halls so far THIS MONTH to overflow crowds of her constituents concerned over the direction the Federal govt is taking this country. She is not afraid to meet us where we are!

The US Director of National Intelligence reposting a Russian propagandist in Malaysia posting lies that track Kremlin propaganda about an organization that has been a beacon of light to people around the world since 1942. We are entering a very dark place.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.
