If you had told me 30 years ago that I’d be a conference of punk scholars & archivists, at a punk museum, in Las Vegas, listening to panelists field comments from Fat Mike…I don’t think I would’ve believed a single part of that lol.

Between 2/18 and 2/26 Secretary Rubio "made a final decision with respect to each award, on an individualized basis," to terminate 8,644 State and USAID awards. That's about one award every minute and 20 seconds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you think booing an anthem at a hockey game is disrespectful, but threatening an ally’s sovereignty isn’t - you’re missing the point.

We're getting more calls now than at any time since I've been in Congress. I'm helping out on the phones, talking to constituents about what I'm doing to stand up for the country and federal workers under attack by Trump and Elon Musk. I welcome your calls, I am listening, and your voice matters.

My daughter just turned two and I am reminded that two year olds get a terrible reputation but are 99% adorable and hilarious BUT they do scream when they don’t get their way. Three years olds, however, are horrifying and should be avoided. Safer to skip right to 4.

The CFPB isn’t even funded by your tax dollars… and it’s still raking in BILLIONS in recouped money to help defrauded Americans. The Trump admin isn’t going after it because of “efficiency.” It’s going after it so Elon and other scammers and grifters get a free pass.

Trump and Musk’s illegal attempt to destroy USAID emboldens China and Russia, harms American families, and is causing immense human suffering for millions around the world. That’s wrong. I’m introducing legislation to enforce congressional oversight of this lawless and damaging behavior.

OK, time to bust another @USAID myth. Stephen Miller said on Fox today that USAID is a rogue slush fund. Trump & Elon have made the same accusation. FALSE. They're either ignorant of how USAID spends money, or willfully lying about it. Or... Anyway, caffeinate and read on. 🧵

Secretary Rubio has been an eloquent advocate for foreign aid—and his own words explain why it's critical to reverse course before it's too late, writes @charlesjkenny.bsky.social. https://www.cgdev.org/blog/dear-secretary-rubio-you-are-right-foreign-assistance-works-please-resume-it

Gutting USAID cuts 10,000 American jobs. It means American farmers, who sold some of their harvest to USAID to feed malnourished kids, are doing less business. It limits our ability to fight terrorism. This isn't about efficiency. It's about creating chaos.

USAID advances U.S. national security and helps ensure global stability. I’m deeply concerned about Musk and Trump’s attempt to destroy USAID. That's why I led my colleagues in a letter to Secretary of State Rubio demanding answers about this illegal and unprecedented action.

The richest man in the world just cut 10,000 American jobs at USAID. Maybe it’s time for his co-president, Donald Trump, to finally speak up and stop him.

Someone on Twitter was criticizing me for being a bad parent and then I went to her profile and she’d tweeted “I don’t get why parents are so obsessed with their babies taking naps” so just good to remember a lot of ppl who criticize parents online have 0 idea what they’re talking about 😂
