Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated. The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied. Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

The lesson from this whole Signalgate catastrophe? This administration will never, ever take responsibility for their mistakes, even when they endanger people. Especially when they endanger people. And it's the American people who will suffer.

Why is Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the Signal chat?

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Sad 😔

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

Circling back on this…

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

Chants of TAX THE RICH! From today’s Indivisible empty chair town hall for Darrell Issa - who just so happens to be the richest person in Congress. @velshi.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know: 1. Vaccines work and are safe. 2. Solid fats aren't health foods. 3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat). 4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure. 5. Measles is bad for you.

Town Hall Time! Anna Paulina Luna won’t talk to her constituents. So I will!

Trump just revoked my security clearance… one small problem: I haven’t had one in years. 😂 This isn’t about security—it’s about his fragile ego and petty revenge. My latest piece on Trump’s obsession with punishing his critics adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lat...

Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary ?

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers. As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.

Education pays for itself.

What a different world we could have.

Amen

Every day another shameful betrayal of Ukraine by the Trump Administration. Every day another Ukrainian soldier may die because of the actions of a feckless U.S. president. We must not forget who we are. America stands with her allies.

This is next level! 💥

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
