“We can no longer let people in power decide what hope is. Hope is not passive. Hope is not ‘blah blah blah.’ Hope is telling the truth. Hope is taking action. And hope always comes from the people.”

Today @merkley.senate.gov and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East.

Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here:

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
I’m Not Panicking. I’m Outraged.

The Voting Rights Act was signed into law 60 years ago today.

At least one of Texas’ congressional maps has violated the VRA in every decade since – including the state’s current map.

Texas Democrats are carrying on LBJ’s legacy by fighting today’s voter suppression.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

NEW: We’re appealing the dismissal of our case against the Federal Bureau of Prisons for unlawfully incarcerating people longer than the law allows under the First Step Act.

People have a right to be released from prison after they've earned time off of their sentences.

YOO: “You send Blanche because the Justice Department is saying we’re serious about this, we may actually cut a deal. But on the other hand, Maxwell’s a convicted sex offender. Why would we take anything she says seriously? She’s not to be trusted. She doesn’t have credibility.” ...

🧵 To begin with, it completely baffles me that they didn't follow the money. Usually, the trail of money points the way. Thousands of transactions totaling billions, and apparently, no one bothered to find out who was paying Epstein and why they were paying him millions.

Are we winning yet? We have 25% of the globe’s prisoners.
The highest maternal and infant mortality rate in industrialized world.
And the most total deaths from COVID-19 world wide.
Plus we have defense spending that is more than the next 9 countries combined.
Doesn’t look like much winning to me.
