I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
America... boy, I dunno.

@aoc.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov or someone. Rs aren't interested in reopening gov until after the clock runs out on the subsidies the Ds are fighting for. Knowing that, what is the point of continuing to fight for a lost cause and letting SNAP stop adding to the suffering?

I'm sure scaled up, the new podcast cover looks cool, but at a menu size of less than an inch, the title is very tough to make out. Consider a revision.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

If you’re in Wisconsin, vote today for Susan Crawford. There are also two special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. Let’s show Elon our country isn’t for sale.

The Tyrannicide captured at least 20 ships while engaging in commerce raiding during the Revolutionary War. She was launched in July of 1776 and ultimately scuttled in 1779.

We've been fighting against tyranny since the beginning. Don't stop now.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

@equality.house.gov I hope y'all are making some noise and causing trouble over the purging of federal LGBTQ+ employees going on.

I'm advocating that we use this opportunity to demonstrate how easy it is to accept and use one's new name and pronouns without throwing a fit about it. Even if i don't agree with it.

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.

Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.
