In honor of black history month, I donated to one of my faves @eji.org They have a perfect Charity Navigator score and do great work. Founder Bryan Stevenson wrote “Just Mercy” It’s an eye opening read. I need to reread. He’s an incredible human.

I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

DOJ deleted the database tracking federal police misconduct, which included thousands of disciplinary records of federal officers. Exactly how is this getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse? Because it seems like a precursor to massive fraud and abuse.

Today would have been my dear friend John Lewis's 85th birthday. In times like these, we ought to look to John's example — his unflinching courage in standing up for what was right. I miss John every day. Let's honor him by continuing his fight.

I get wanting Dems to do more. But unless you are specific like asking for quorum calls, all you’re doing is helping people give up. And many things you’re screaming for are on us not them. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t a Member Of Congress Rosa Parks wasn’t a Member Of Congress 1/

Trump and Musk are going after federal workers because they serve the public, not billionaires. Today, I joined federal workers and union leaders from AFGE and AFL-CIO to speak out in support of the civil servants who serve veterans, deliver key benefits, and keep us safe. #fightingback

I called my congressional rep’s office and asked when he’s having a town hall. The man who answered said none scheduled but will add my request to the others who have called and asked the same thing. Call your reps.

If you go after NYGov Hochul disproportionately from now until November 2026, you will be paving the way for NYGov Lawless, ensuring “work” and “reeducation” camps for all our vulnerable people. And frankly, if NY State falls, that is a huge problem for the rest of the USA and the growing #defiance

Guys it's been one hell of a day here at the good ole IRS. Need some time to process and to reach out to friends and family affected by the terminations this week.

Fellow Blueskyers, my two cents - we need more amplification and less snark on here. Snark interferes with us telling our story and thus helps MAGA. I realize these are tough times but if we are to win we need to be smart, strategic and disciplined at all times. Onward - S

Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.
