“‘We are all afraid,’ Murkowski said, taking a long pause. ‘It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.’”

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.

"Two US officials said Waltz has created and hosted multiple other sensitive national-security conversations on Signal with cabinet members, including on Russia/Ukraine and on military operations. They declined to say if classified information was posted in those chats."

Just awful & inhumane! No criminal record?
All eyes needed on the Krome Detention Facility in Miami FL. People with no criminal history held in crowded rooms like sardines, denied water, food, sanitary products, healthcare, toilets. At least 4 men have died since January #ConcentrationCamps

No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

Shameful 🙄
Right now, we have an authoritarian president.
He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.
Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Bernie tells the truth like it is!
For some reason a large number of dems have always had it out for Bernie. Not my place to say why, but I've agreed with him since 2005 when I first learned of him. Love him or hate him, he's got a simple economic message that cuts through and I can't understand why more dems won't talk like him.

All this "age of Social Security recipients" stuff is b/c DOGE dudes miscalculated in their analysis.

Totally agree…
Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
