@SenateDems @SenateGOP @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP I know you this, but it bears repeating. Many who helped US soldiers put themselves & their family members at risk of harm or death in order to do so. If the administration deports them back t Afghanistan, it is rewarding their sacrifice with betrayal. This will make it far more difficult for the military to get help from local people in locations American soldiers find themselves. More important, it is fundamentally wrong. Please do something to stop it. These are people’s lives.

In recovery we learn the whole point is service. Showing up for somebody besides yourself. That’s leadership too. Setting the tone. Right now the tone is vengeance and yeah, I get the anger. But anger isn’t leadership. It’s tyranny. We can and should reach for each other. Demand better.

Selling stolen oil and putting billions of dollars in a bank in Qatar to be spent without Congressional approval is not Constitutional. Only Congress can appropriate money. The President can’t legally create a second Treasury overseas for his own piggy bank. Wake up Congress.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Hey MAGA, here’s a list of Trump’s shutdown achievements: -Sending $20 billion of your tax dollars to Argentina -Letting Qatar build an air base in Idaho -Golfing trip while the troops aren’t getting paid Is that America First? Or are you ready to admit he’s a f***ing liar?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity.

No, I am against flagburning, but according to the constitution it is not illegal and it is protected by the first amendment. The better question is are you pro being against the constitution?

Remember Ed “Big Balls” Coristine—the teenager who worked tech ops for Elon Musk’s DOGE project? He is now under FBI investigation for data theft. He was the same 19-year-old who was linked to a cybercrime ring earlier this year. Now he’s accused of stealing federal data.

We’re not “losing” shit. We broke it intentionally. This wasn’t a solar flare that knocked out our satellites. This was us taking a machete to an advanced weather system because some dumbfucks thought it was going to own the libs rather drown their families
Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @ZoeSchlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

I tried for 6 years to turn my Visa into a green card while still working at tech startups. Fortunately I got citizenship through plan B - meet the right American girl and get married. The DJ thing was a big part of that plan.

If ICE is doing what’s right…. Take off the masks. Wear name badges, Wear body cameras. Just like every other Law Enforcement Officer.

A convicted felon taking bribes from other countries is exactly what you would expect a convicted felon to do. That is why you don't elect a convicted felon to the highest office.

Ok Maga, pick a lane. Eat the tariffs? Who is paying the tariffs? Is China paying? Nope. Is Walmart paying? Not according to your Potus. Come on now. Who is paying? That's right...You. Are. Paying. Cheers!

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified."

Murphy: You said the measles vaccine wanes very quickly, said it was never fully tested for safety, said there was fetal debris in the vaccine— RFK JR: All true. You want me to lie to the public? Murphy: None of that is true

1) Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been talking a lot today about fixing the air traffic control system. Well, I did some research and I found his plan to fix it, released a few days ago. And what do you think the name of this new system is? Can you guess? See next⬇️
