I think so much about how we are reaping the fruits of the past - often democratic-led tepid mismanagement of crises in so many global flashpoints across eastern europe, the middle east, and south america. you really question what progressive foreign policy should look like going forward

I hate the way media fall back on the word "controversy." MSNBC just called SignalGate a controversy, as if there's a rational debate over whether sharing military secrets with a journalist and your wife is a good or bad thing.

If you're ready to go to the mat over 2A's "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" maybe spare a thought for 5A's "No person shall... be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law." No person. No. Person.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

this has been a common theme with this administration in every negotiation, not just trade negotiations; they can't articulate what they want, they constantly move the goalposts, they're unreliable and unprofessional. it will have a lot of negative consequences, both for them and for us.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

an obvious thing but a society genuinely interested in producing more healthy children would also invest heavily in its foster and child protection services, and boy, let me tell you, that is not a good picture in much of the United States.

If I see another article about birth rates that refuses to grapple with the way having children systematically disadvantages women I swear to god. There is no mystery. Stop pretending there is. We’ve got to do away with credulity for nonsense.

This whole Van Hollen trip is evidence for @joshtpm.bsky.social’s theory that one of the things limiting the effectiveness of so many people’s resistance to Trump is lack of imagination to try creative tactics.

"Witches got due process" is why we use the term "witch hunt" to refer to the process of investigating credible allegations of witchcraft, which are then advanced as charges only if and when there is sufficient evidence to charge and a public interest in their prosecution and/or burning.

I'm hardly an International Businessman™, but even my work has shown me that there are particular steps taken when negotiating with Chinese government officials and business leaders, and endlessly insulting them in public isn't helpful to the process. These clowns live in the tiniest bubbles.

If you have to give your employees prepared statements ahead of time explaining that "no honey this isn't nazi shit I swear" then maybe you're veering a bit too close to doing nazi shit. Just a thought.

Please share! A U.S. born citizen has been arrested in Florida and placed in an ICE hold!! They want to transfer him to immigration detention DESPITE acknowledgment he is a citizen. This is happening in Leon County and we were at his hearing earlier this morning.

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

Senator Murkowski should be very ashamed in the face of all that @vanhollen.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, @aoc.bsky.social and other courageous members of Congress are doing. She wants the perquisites of power but not the responsibility?! I don't want to hear about how scared she is.
