For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

Canadian artists are boycotting the important @sxsw.com musical festival in Texas.This is an unprecedented show of force by Canadian artists. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Canada was going to be taught a lesson. Greg consider this a teaching moment: your state is an enemy of democracy and arts.

"all serving members are trained to understand that America stands for more than naked self-interest. Above all, it stands up for the Constitution and the rule of law, including the laws of armed conflict and those that restrict the use of the military against American citizens."

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Here’s what happened at the summit I spoke at in Washington, DC today. Tell me free speech isn’t under attack: youtu.be/Gnt4PNS7lJU

Thank you for standing loud and proud for ALL THE PEOPLE Tennesseans🙌🏻🙌🏻

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Kash Patel is likely the most unqualified person ever confirmed to lead the FBI. The agency was built to go after the bad guys—Chicago bootleggers, gangsters, the mafia, and foreign threats. Under Patel, it’ll be turned into a weapon for revenge to go after Trump’s enemies instead. A total disgrace.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours…

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

Will be great.

🤣 a 2 bit crook can dream

OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

A coalition of watchdog groups and unions is seeking to block the DOGE team from accessing taxpayer data at the IRS. A similar battle is brewing over Social Security data.

Join me on MONDAY at 6:30pm CT to discuss Trump’s executive actions, their impact on Memphis & TN-9, and how we're pushing back. I’ll also be joined by a legal expert from @democracyforward.org to discuss details on efforts to challenge Trump's actions in court. Sign up here: cohen.house.gov/live

Wow.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

AND YET, this same Senator, Thom Tillis, voted to approve Pete Hegseth as Sec’y of Defense, Russ Vought as Dir of Ofc of Mgmt & Budget, and Tulsi Gabbard as Dir of National Intelligence. Those 3 votes just negated any belief in his statement below about Putin & Ukraine.

The United States is in the midst of a regime change, in which Kash Patel, if confirmed, would be useful. snyder.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

I’m so old I remember when Republicans in MO were fighting the REAL ID program cause they didnt want the feds to get their info. Now? Sure King Elon, take all our personal data from IRS and Social Security.

Trump’s first 29 days have been total chaos: attacks on allies, dangerous policies & outright illegal actions. It’s a lot to track, so I created a page highlighting some of his worst actions and the pushback underway—in & outside of Congress. We'll continue updating. cohen.house.gov/TrumpAdminTr...

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.
