Political speech is at the heart of our 1st Amendment protections because America has always stood as a place where we honor dissent and debate.  Chris Kluwe was seemingly fired for engaging in his 1st amendment rights. I’m demanding answers on whether his removal was illegal and unconstitutional.

That "good boy" pat on the arm from Vance is too much. What a child. What a fucking sycophantic lemming-ous yearling. Fuck me, what has this country done?

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be these cunts.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?

Russian Puppet... Go fuck yourself.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

It’s incredibly disappointing that Republican leadership is walking away from bipartisan negotiations to fund the government—and raising the risk of a shutdown in so doing. Here's my full statement with @delauro.house.gov on government funding talks ⬇️

Hyper-local content warning! Al Schreiber is up for Stanwood (WA) School Board re-election this fall. Replacing him with a non-lunatic, non-right-winger swings this school board majority from freaks and weirdos to a majority of reasoned community members. Start local and work inside out.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Fuck it why not

Steven Miller is a vindictive vampire with no soul. This is absolutely evil.

Inside the 1, my man. @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

The parliamentarians have to be proud of green-jacket/purple-tie guy for motioning for recess during a crisis. "When applied properly, parliamentary procedure can make long, confrontational meetings short and painless..." Bbbbbrrrrrrpp. Indeed!

Just opened a bag of candy too hard and it flew all over the kitchen like I was in the black & white section of an infomercial

If this is real, it's some horrendously vile shit.

I don't think this administration understands how pissed off people are going to be when they discover they cannot set out on their favorite trails in Washington State. This is a way of life... The rebellion will be equipped with Marmot rain shells, ice axes, micro-spikes, and climbing rope.

Six to 8 months to fully onboard. And then two years of probation. Limited to no salary negotiations. And then oath bound to the Constitution. People do it because they WANT to SERVE.

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

This guy, David Mastio, can fuck all the way off. And the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social should sit in the corner and think about why they would pick up this trash. I'm not linking. The premise is we need chaos to affect change. That's great when you are not talking about life and death. Assholes.

Every union should be echoing this statement.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Feels like we are on the cusp of a Schrodinger's Bird Flu moment. Doesn't it?

Whew! Catching #TheWeekend feels like therapy—because at least some folks in the media are saying what needs to be said. They’re having the same conversations we’re having. @michaelsteele.bsky.social ,Sir 🔥 (I of III)

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

the contempt senate dems have for their own base that they would play act at obstruction while quietly greasing the wheels and then expect that to placate people angry about their inaction. just stage managed nonsense.

For those asking where the Dems are, I might suggest: the right didn’t wait on the Republicans. They plotted the course & the Republicans followed, at first in small packs, but eventually all falling in line. The left may have to do something similar. Don’t wait on “the Democrats”. Show them the way

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

We’re done here. Right?

not everything you love in your teenage years holds up but Green Day was cooking with American Idiot

@schumer.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Wake up and get your shit together. This is unacceptable. Norms are gone. You are in danger! JFC!

If helpful: Elon’s statement here is a common type of falsehood, claiming that the existence of a vulnerability somewhere in the system means that the vulnerability has been successfully exploited (at scale). We see it a lot in “election fraud” claims. It’s a logical fallacy.

@repricklarsen.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Expressing with as much volume as I can here (and in your emails) that the only bipartisan actions you should be involved in at this time are those actions that prevent coups. That's it. Find Rs that are willing to help.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

How ppl still don't understand "meeting expectations" is wild to me. If your town has a serial killer & the police aren't doing enough to stop it, do you yell at the serial killer? No! The serial killer is doing what you expect him to do; the police are not meeting your expectations to stop him.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...
