Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

It's like people who get arrested, and their singular crime is resisting arrest.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Trump speaks English?

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

Did he empty my dryer’s lint trap on his head or is that a badger?

I’m only getting four hours of sleep tonight, so I’m setting five alarms.

That way, I’ll be sure to get out of bed with at least one of them. 😂

Making seniors go into the doctor’s office, regardless of their access to transportation, income level, or mobility issues. 😡

Republicans are hoping seniors will stay home rather than seek care.

Republicans are pro-death.

Priorities.

Petty, vindictive, ignorant f*cker

I tried it. It’s true.

Tech billionaires are not your friend. Traitors and stooges, every last one of them.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

If you are calling the Tylenol/autism issue a distraction, you are assisting the administration in harming people with autism and their families—and you are also overlooking the way fascism is built on a bedrock of ableism and misogyny.

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

I interviewed #ActuallyAutistic moms about their reactions to Trump uring pregnant women not to take Tylenol and his anti-vaccine claims. They are a mix of livid, disheartened and frustrated that once again, their experiences as autistic women is erased.

Instead of complaining about people who are actually doing things, but maybe not the thing you would do, or the thing you most want people to do, talk to people and help them figure out how to be useful. The people *doing something* are not the problem. We need more people doing a lot of things.

Got a teeny bit nervous that I have a book subtitled “The Fascist Allure.”

Nah—this EO is just another scare tactic.

If we don’t stand up for our principles, who will?

He totally looks like the guy the Monkees dropped because he got too friendly with the teenage groupies.

Every patriot needs to do their share and eat Iowan soybeans at every meal. 😝
