Today, I took the first step towards Kristi Noem's impeachment, and called on the Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into her lawlessness.
The American people will have justice and we will hold Noem accountable. I’ll make sure of it.

Whenever it gets cold in Chicago, I check in on this place to feel better. The coldest I’ve ever experienced is -12. I can’t comprehend -40.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

For every “pedestrian killed/maimed” stat we see, there are 1,000s of near misses. This morning I was one of those. Two east-bound on Montrose drivers blew this light at high-speed, a full two seconds after the light changed. Then a driver turning left/east from Kilbourn floored it, almost hit me.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.

Got a report card from my son. My morning behavior’s excellent. I’m doing great in science. Terrible at computers. Pretty good at farting.

Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.

The amount of “progressives” who are out here defending an increase to the Chicago Police Budget that brings it to OVER HALF of our corporate fund is WILD.
What timeline are we living in?
Did the past # of years fighting to reimagine public safety and of more accountability just disappear?

I know people are going to revel in the schadenfreude here, but this is really just an admission—given how close the House is split—that they’re just mad it didn’t work. Fewer than a dozen House GOPers could change America tomorrow. That they’re not proves this is just about losing, not principles.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Although she’s Spanish, my wife was was born in Germany. In the 70s, her parents had to go there to find work. On this 50th anniversary of Franco’s death, EL PAÍS has a great article about how the country has transformed since 1975. Unfortunately it’s paywalled so I can only share screenshots. 1/3

We took on the case of a couple who had been detained during their green card interview. This was a couple who had been married for decades and never spent a single night apart. After being detained, they were immediately separated and sent to 2 different detention centers.
Thousands and thousands of people are in this situation; giving up their cases and accepting deportation because they can't bear being in jail any longer.
In many ways, that is a major point of detention.

Don Lupe shared that one detained man who volunteered to be deported due to unbearable conditions had to wait months.
“This is a business and it is all about money,” Don Lupe said. “There are a lot of things that are inhumane. It is more beneficial for [the business] for him to be in prison.”

Here’s a thread on how an attempt on Venezuelan oil could go horribly wrong. I watched it happen in Colombia for years. Now add cheap drone technology to the mix & that oil infrastructure becomes EXTREMELY vulnerable to sabotage. Refineries & storage tanks weren’t designed to withstand attacks.💥💥🔥🔥
Colombian guerrillas would just drive along the road & shoot holes into the pipeline. They would then start a huge blaze with a flare. It was extremely destructive to the environment & poisoned streams. The pipelines had to parallel the road for servicing reasons, so it was impossible to protect. 3/

Cut-through driver sailed through the stop sign on our street that every driver blows. He was four feet from me and my six-year-old, we were halfway across the street. Looked at us as he sailed by. Told my son that people who do that should lose the privilege of driving for the rest of their lives.
