Good.

@washingtonpost.com Why raise this as a point of interpretation by "experts"? It's forbidden. End of discussion. Are you on the side of the Constitution or not?

So, this White House wants to defund the police?

This should not happen to any family no matter what their status is.

@beyer.house.gov @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Public opinion is on your side. Let's see you step into this moment and fight for us! @housedemocrats.bsky.social

This could have been our VP instead of the smarmy hate-machine.

I thought the MAGAts were all about going after pedophiles? I guess that's just for gun-toting nut jobs barging into pizza places.

@beyer.house.gov @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social As a constituent, I'm urging you to join this action. Show us you're fighting for us! #ImpeachTrump

@beyer.house.gov I hope you are among those who are working to do much more!

@beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Yes! Do this. Do something. Please. Show that you'll defend the Constitution.

We should be alarmed by anyone being disappeared without due process--even criminals! Whether or not they're criminals is irrelevant; they still are owed due process. Don't move the Constitutional line.

He'll, I'd question that language in writing from one of my first-year college students. And I'd be asking for evidence of the causation presented here.

Contractors cost more than employees. Time to rename is Dept of Government Extra Expenditures.

It's because they're (smart) children. I sometimes run across them in my teaching. There's no one more arrogant, more sure of their own brilliance, less willing to learn and be corrected, than a 20-year-old boy with a brain and some ideas.

"Listen, I’d love it if we could create a society that worked perfectly for everyone, but that’s not the reality we live in. In real life, you have to make choices—choices that lead to terrible outcomes for everyone."

This non-rich teacher who's counting on her 403B for her retirement would beg to differ.

Hello! We are a scrappy three-year-old civics blog based in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC. We just updated thegriffinlist.com, which contains detailed instructions for 65,000 NC voters whose votes might be thrown out in the state Supreme Court race. Please share!

Making ourselves heard, right at the base of the Washington Monument in DC.

Horrifyingly true

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Vote NO on Bisagnano!

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov I'm a constituent-- will you join @booker.senate.gov and stand up for Virginians who voted for you?

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Smart advice.

@beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Please fight back against these attempts to destroy SSA and make life worse for the elderly, poor, and disabled.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Thank you for your NO vote on cloture! This is the way to meet this moment!

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social I'm a constituent in Arlington, and I'm urging you to listen to us and to your @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues: vote NO. NO cloture NO cooperation NO backing down until Musk stops his power grab

@schumer.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov You're all replaceable, you know-- unless you roll over when the GOP stops elections, too. Stand up and vote NO. Be leaders, for God's sake.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov I agree! Don't give in. Fight for us!

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Don't give in and help the GOP with their budget mess! Stand firm and vote NO.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social This is what your own constituents want to see: NO--on nominees, on cloture, on the GOP spending bill. Saying NO to all of it means saying YES for democracy and for the people.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov What are doing, voting for cloture? Why aren't you fighting? I've long supported you both, but I'll look forward to voting for your next primary opponent (unless you roll over on elections, too).

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Vote NO. I'm a constituent in Arlington-- fight for us!

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov As a constituent in Arlington, I implore you: Vote NO! Shut everything down if necessary, but don't be complicit in destroying the government and democracy.

@beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov #NotOneVote for the GOP budget. Get it together and #HoldTheLine. I'm a constituent and I'm counting on you.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social I hope this is the view of all House Democrats. @beyer.house.gov
