So proud of my friend @booker.senate.gov This isn’t merely about length, it’s the quality of the fight and the character of the speaker. Thank you for bringing the fight on behalf of the American people. When Democrats show that there is something worth fighting for we win.

If as DNIGabbard says that there was nothing classified in the Signal chat, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social should share all of it. Clearly if he said he would do that, no doubt the Administration would be in court to stop him because, wait for it, the information was classified.

For more than a decade, climate change was identified as a threat to national security (including Trump1). Now it is not. What happened? Did we solve climate change? Maybe that broken off Antarctica iceberg contains the solution in the deep. Our country is run by clowns on the clown car.

Channeling my father this morning to Senate Democrats: No guts, no glory. I will add to that: no message, no strategy, no leadership. Schumer, you played yourself.

His video is appalling to impugn fact checkers like that. He could use all the tools if he actually cared and X is now a toxic waste dump. One thing is true: Fact checking does not work on a platform that cannot be sued and has been built to advantage the liars.
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces
He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."

Meeting Ms. Giovanni as a sophomore was one of the highlights of my time at Wake Forest. She was/is one of my favorite poets. I met her again as a member of Congress and had the honor of sharing how her writing impacted me, especially my later work on domestic violence.

Emily’s List supported the senator elect because she is a pro-choice democratic woman. They helped her raise $617,000 and made an independent expenditure of $500,000. That’s a lot of identity in those politics.
