Trump said I was dumb and questioned my leadership today. I've spent 25 years in the military, commanded the space shuttle, and now I'm serving Arizona in the U.S. Senate. Happy to discuss leadership anytime, Mr. President. You know where to find me.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Gosh, their nuclear weapon would have been ready just when Trump unveils Infrastructure Week.

The same administration that removed historical testaments to Jackie Robinson and the Navajo Code Talkers has no problem with this new banner.

We have entered a dangerous new period of censorship and propaganda.

I mourn the lives of innocents killed in Trump’s stupid war. And even amid such horrors, I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN THE EPSTEIN FILES!

If the Trump admin had the moral convictions of the humans at Anthropic (or any decent moral convictions), this would be a non-issue.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Here in Oregon, we only vote by mail. You can bet I’ll be dropping my ballot in the box at our local library. Folks, no USPS for voting this year!

In the middle of February.
A mile from a home where he no longer lived.
While his relatives were searching for him.

My gosh, is there anything better than your kid, arms open, asking for just one more hug?

As you figure out how to tackle all that feels heavy or overwhelming today, I hope you’ll pour your energy into the little things, too.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family? Is the president working to keep Americans safe both at home and abroad? Is the president working for you?"

AOC on Randy Fine: β€œThis is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official β€” It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this β€” Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Um, shouldn’t that be β€œintellectually-challenging political messages(plural) on multiple levels”?

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
