For Día de Los Muertos, @padilla.senate.gov and I each left a photo of a loved one at the other office’s ofrenda.

Proud to bring a beautiful tradition to the U.S. Senate to remember and honor those who have gone before us.

Unfortunately, using this strategy also comes with police. And police in this situation can't seem to help themselves.

I think this is probably true. If the "enforcing" was left to ice, they would probably do their best to provoke a response and escalate things.

Illinois/Chicago police aren't really known for supporting Democratic Governors.

DEI hires are actually qualified. This is the wrong analogy.

It's also about us not having representation in Congress.

Thanks; I didn't realize that (and my mom is 79, too! 😊).

Is Janet Mills not a good candidate? (Genuinely asking)

Silly kids!!!

He's excusing them (and himself) from any responsibility for their own beliefs/words. They were only "joking" in private, so we shouldn't believe the literal words they said.

And if they're bigots in the future, it will be because of holding them accountable, which is "creating radicals."

Wow! 🙃

Up is down if they say so 🙄

Congratulations!!! 🎉✨💕

⬆This all day!!

They think they're hysterical, too (it's so amusing how they don't get that they aren't funny).

But someone else had to create the video for him, which is even more disturbing.

Just the President & Vice President trolling half the people they're supposed to serve, posting like incels in their mothers' basements, playing the country like it's a video game that doesn't affect real human beings.

Zero self-awareness - they don't even get that they're not the least bit funny.

- Going broke to own the libs
- Losing healthcare to own the libs
- Giving up the right to due process to own the libs
- Trashing the Constitution to own the libs
- Losing farms to own the libs
- Moving grandma from the nursing home to a bed in the middle of our living room to own the libs...
- ?

That's why the press should bring this up at a press conference where there's a larger audience. It came from the White House, so ask Karoline to explain why they needed footage from red states if Chicago is in such chaos.

@yamiche.bsky.social

Is everyone in this administration? (same)

Epstein was obscenely wealthy - sure seems like there was a huge market for what he was selling. If those files ever come out, I wonder how we will even deal with what we learn. It's stomach-turning to contemplate how widespread this is.

The reporter said he was at a children's detention center.
But, yeah, not really much better.

That was only a slogan to get votes. They don't need their voters anymore.

Like Dr. Oz saying it's your patriotic duty to stay healthy.
