Thank you @aoc.bsky.social! More of this please.
Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

I listen to Trump threaten to forcibly annex Canada, and I wonder what has happened that we have actual Republican senators who still support him.
Then @schumer.senate.gov says he's going to vote on the CR that gives Trump free rein to do whatever.
How is he the Democratic Senate leader?

The Columbia deportation case is bad enough on its own — but the precedent is worse. People can be deported without breaking a law because of a vague reference to foreign policy.

Time for real protests.
I concur. And I take it as a message from Joe that it is time to forgo the moral high ground and start playing by the same absence of rules guiding Trump and his MAGA clan.
I can't bring myself to be even a little mad about Biden pardoning Hunter. The values and norms he'd been trying to uphold were obliterated by American voters last month. Why sacrifice your son to a dead god?

According to a new report by @penamerica.bsky.social, “Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Picoult is currently the #1 banned book in school districts across America. It sure would be a shame if we pushed such a dangerous book to the bestseller list this week 😉 shop.wordbookstores.com/book/9780743...

Here in Virginia Beach all 4 of our progressive candidates won their school board elections, after we lost 4 seats to MAGA candidates 2 years ago. 🎉💙 The turning of the tide starts at the local level, and Virginia has a gubernatorial election next year! 💙🌊💙
