WELKER: Is there any scenario where you would support sending US forces on the ground in Iran?
JEFFRIES: No. In fact, candidate Trump suggested under no circumstances should American men & women be put into harm's way in this type of situation as it relates to another endless war in the Middle East
The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.
NEW: Republicans’ suppressive tactics were on full display in Texas’ primaries as chaos ensued following major GOP-led election changes.
And voters bore the brunt of it — hundreds were turned away from the polls as a result of the party’s decision to abandon more accessible voting systems.
Trump and his cronies are still hiding the Epstein files. They should be held in contempt.
Release the damn files!

Every single one of us would have understood it if @crockett.house.gov had remained in Texas for a while after putting everything she had into her Senate campaign. Taken some time to recover, rest, and heal. She's earned it.
And instead she's right back at work in DC today. For all of us. Wow.

Rest easy, brothers and sister. Your duty is done. We got it from here. You deserved so much better. I am so sorry we failed you. 💔
IYKYK 🤣
We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events
Upshot: verify before amplifying
White House blocks Congress from seeing NSA intelligence from whistleblower complaint. “The Trump admin. has informed lawmakers that it will not provide them with the classified intelligence report... citing an assertion of presidential executive privilege." www.ibtimes.com/lawmakers-bl...

Susan Collins needs to see us united against the tragic, stupid, ill-conceived bombing of Iran.
She has the power, as a swing vote in the U.S. Senate, to bring this to an end.
Anthropic refuses to bend its AI rules for Pentagon. "At issue... is the potential use of its AI tools... for ‘mass domestic surveillance’ and ‘fully autonomous weapons’. [Dario] Amodei said ‘such [uses] have never been included in our contracts with the Dept. of War...'" www.bbc.com/news/article...
“There was no imminent threat from Iran to 🇺🇸 that would warrant sending our sons and daughters into another war in the Middle East.”

To be clear: most officers in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps retire at O-5 or O-6.
She wouldn’t qualify to apply — but we’re supposed to salute her as an O-9?
A slap in the face to every officer who actually earned it.
Still time: call your senators. Vote NO.
To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

This is awful. Kansas, stop this insanity and attacks on trans people!

My message to Stephen Miller outside the Dilley Family Detention Center.
It's instructive to see a guy like Jeremy Carl caught outside his cocoon of fascism, asked to explain his views of how the US should look, how it should be run, and who should be running it. He sounds like an idiot because once you strip away the bad faith cover, he has nothing but racism.
Yes, yes, the Trump administration, quite famous for being good stewards with the American people's tax money.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
This will kill people
I'm heading to the Senate floor in a few moments to lay out the detailed story of ICE abuse - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens with impunity, disappearing legal immigrants. And why we should not fund ICE until they stop terrorizing our communities.
Photograph taken inside the U.S. House chamber during a State of the Union–style event. In the foreground, Donald Trump is blurred while walking past. In the background, a man in a suit stands among seated attendees holding a handwritten sign that reads, “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!” Other lawmakers and guests look on.
Rep. Al Green, thank you for this moment.
just announced: d+15 midterm
(seriously they get that old people vote, right? do they think the AARP just exists for fun?)
The Taliban are burning musical instruments in the name of morality. It is an assault on all culture
Federal debt held by the public is forecasted to reach 156% by 2050. And unfortunately, projections have historically undershot reality.
