I'm grateful for Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz’s inspiring tele-town hall today with 17K listeners. He took 20 live questions and addressed diverse issues. He showed not only pragmatism but hope, and noted that actual bipartisanship is happening even today. Mahalo for supporting Hawaii and our values!

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Every morning I wake up and find something new to be amazed at. USAID was dismantled to "save money." Now we spend $160K to burn $9.7M worth of health supplies to put people's lives at risk. Insane.

I'm a UVA grad and not at all happy about what's happening there with free speech and support of diversity. I thought this was a good interview with Senator Kane and interview by the CD.

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later).

Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

Let's say their names:

* General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK

* Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

* Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE

All replaced by less qualified white guys.
its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

“The job of law enforcement has never been harder.”

As fans pour into New Orleans for the Super Bowl, city officials have tried to find workarounds to a state law that lets adults carry a gun without a permit or training. The law means police can’t check to see if people are legally armed.
Coolers Are Banned Near This Year’s Super Bowl. Guns? They’re OK
New Orleans is one of many cities hamstrung by state legislatures hostile to gun regulation. Local police and officials have tried to find workarounds.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
