Taking “constituent services” to the max. Well done, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

MUST WATCH!

If you are taking a break from politics during the holiday, good for you. There is nothing to feel guilty about.

If you re-center what you love, you will remember why you fight.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

ATTN: Federal Workers!
🚨 Special Alert for Federal Workers 🧵

It’s time to prepare for a federal government shutdown, which may begin this weekend.


While you’ll probably be back to work soon, it’s best to treat a shutdown like a lay-off. Assume that Friday will be your last day of work, possibly for several weeks. 1/7

If there is not as much uproar over today’s Kash Patel-to-FBI news as there was in the face of the Matt Gaetz-to-DOJ news, nothing matters anymore and everyone has lost their minds

I actually think Gaetz may be a hair less deranged than Patel, words I cannot believe I just typed

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard.

Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

I’ve been thinking this since 11/6. It makes it very hard to plan for.
The truth is, none of us really know what the next four years will look like. It’s incredibly difficult to predict what happens next. It does not feel good.

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Totally agree!
I want to thank whoever it was at Bluesky who came up with the idea of Starter Packs. Just brilliant!

Happy (slightly belated) Exploding Whale Day!
On this day in 1970, the Oregon Department of Transportation made a slight miscalculation. A news crew was there and recorded it for history. Happy(?) Exploding Whale Day.
