How can we fix corruption in government?
Step one: ban stock trading across all 3 branches of government and hold our public servants accountable.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Washington state from enforcing a law that would have required priests to report evidence of child abuse learned during confession.
The Trump administration had intervened on the side of the Catholic clergy.

Dems just walked out of a hearing to confirm Emil Bove. Meanwhile, @booker.senate.gov kept the floor talking. I appreciate my Senator and his willingness to call out the b.s. of the GOP.

BREAKING:
JD Vance just gave a big speech in which he claimed that "for the first time in a very long time, workers' wages are rising faster than inflation.."
The only problem?
The Trump Labor Dept. reported exactly the opposite just yesterday, showing real wages falling in June. #EconSky

When a community is hit by a natural disaster, they don’t have 5 days to wait on Kristi Noem.
Noem's stupid policy risks lives and puts us all in danger. I'm calling on her to rescind it immediately.

This painting is one I created for a specific spot in my home. I would love nothing more than to be on this sunset cruise in the Mediterranean! #art #watercolor #painting #artistsofbluesky

Porthole Painting #8: I needed one more painting. And it had to be sea shells to balance out my other sea shell painting. So I arranged a bunch of neutral colored shells that had interesting texture and patterns. #watercolor #painting #art #artistsofbluesky #beach #nautical #seashells #coastalliving

Porthole Painting #7: I dream of Italy so I painted the seaside city of Portofino. This was the most challenging water to paint to date. The water towards the foreground looked as if it was moving in two directions. #watercolor #artistsofbluesky #painting #art #italy

Porthole Painting #6: This is the Grotto Della Poesia (Cave of Poetry) in Italy. The water was such a challenge because it changed throughout. In the middle it appears like a dry, desert floor. In other parts, rocks broke up the ripples of the water. #artistsofbluesky #watercolor #painting #art

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Sen. Elizabeth Warren just revealed to me that the bill is even WORSE than we thought:
“They've revised (it). It’s not 16 million who lose their healthcare…it's 20 MILLION. That’s the price Republicans are willing to pay for billionaire tax cuts.” Share this everywhere!

Porthole Painting #4 is a beautiful view from Algrave, Portugal. I was working on this painting while creating the 3rd painting in this series. I had a lot of fun painting the boats in the water. To create the wake, I scraped out paint with a knife blade. #watercolor #painting #artistsofbluesky

This is the third painting in my Porthole Paintings series. It’s from a waterfront Croatian village called Koiza. The water under the closest boats was quite challenging and required several layers of paint to build up that shimmery, fluorescent look. #artistsofbluesky #watercolor #painting

Who the fuck invited Vance here? And why are 7K of you giving him the oxygen he required to lie like a rug by following him? That’s what he craves: attention, affection, and couches.

Trump said he would get a peace deal within 24 hours, and now is poised to lose the war.
Why? Because he is the weakest U.S. president in our lifetime. He's told Putin he can continue the war and pay ZERO price. No sanctions. No new weapons for Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...
