Why did Kristen Welker spend 6 minutes of her interview with Sen. Chris Murphy talking about Biden's mental capacity before the election, instead of talking about what was in the budget bill that is up in Congress? Or some other relevant issues.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Why is this in our Ohio budget? And why do you need someone's menstrual history or zip code or what she uses for a contraceptive? Seems like a violation of HIPAA. www.statenews.org/government-p...

Should rethink that decision and move over and let younger folks into those positions. It's going to be their world and they should be deciding what kind of world they want it to be

Okay. I believe experience in any job is important and when it comes to Congress, you should have a combination of both experienced and new members. But, I'm a 75-year-old woman and I think that anyone who is in their late '70s or '80s who plans on running again in the next election cycle

Elon Musk doubling down on calling Senator Kelly a "traitor" is beyond the pale. Senator Kelly is a decorated Navy vet who’s devoted his life to serving our country. Musk, on the other hand, has only ever served himself.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

This. Touch grass. Take a few deep breaths. Stream “The Wild Robot” and have a piece of pie. Watch Planet Earth. We fight again tomorrow. Non-violently. Don’t play yourself.

What are people against “DEI” against? The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is injustice and bias. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. Those who rail against DEI are essentially advocating for a country run on uniformity, injustice, exclusion.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

This is a hell of a crowd size for a protest at the Treasury Department. People do not like Elon.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social
