My God, just when you think these people couldn’t be the lowest form of scum on the earth they sink lower. We have billions for jets. Millions to bomb people who have NEVER been proven guilty, but we can starve families, children and disabled? ROT IN HELL - forever!

This is disability visibility.

Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.

He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.

1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.

Don’t ignore us!

I saw this earlier this week but needed time to have a public conversation about it.

Goddard has always been one of my favorite NASA centers. The work they do is so cool and the folks there are incredible.

This truly gutted me. 😢

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

It’s Sunday… so a Bible verse for you to share with Christians who need a reminder (like Congress):

Matthew 35-40

WWJD about SNAP

John 6:10-12
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
When they had all had enough to eat, He said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

In my personal life— and on this platform, people have asked what they can do to help federal employees.

1. All of us need emotional support. We want to feel valued. We want our work to be valued.

"the FBI director used taxpayer funds in a government shutdown to fly his country singer GF to sing at a Hulk Hogan-founded wrestling event aired on Fox Nation" is not the flashiest Trump-era headline but pound for pound it can compete with any contender
Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.
