Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

If this is all a headfake by @schumer.senate.gov to fool Dem voters into believing Senate Dems tried to stop the Trump/Musk destruction while voting for cloture to enable it, that's going make Dems' electoral problems even worse. They will have proven to their base that voting for them is pointless.
2/ So I was briefly fooled by what Schumer said. It was all a ploy. An agreement with Thune to choreograph the caucus's decision to allow the Musk/Trump CR to pass to make it seem like something other than what it was.
