Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files.
Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years.
He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together.
His attacks won't change any of that.

Those of you who do not live in an order-in-via-delivery-heavy area will not understand this, but Relay is the WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO DELIVERY FOOD. It’s so poorly managed and so poorly conceived and sends out the most panic-inducing texts we’ve ever received. #relay #deliveryfood

There’s a BBC story about the Sara Sharif murder review and the child welfare advocate said it should be illegal for parents to physically punish a child: “You can’t hit an adult, why should you be able to hit a child?”
What a straightforward way to cut through the noise and make a legal argument.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.
We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.
It’s. All. Lies.
